AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD,
INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, OR FURTHER DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT AS AUTHORIZED BY NOVELL.
This Novell Software License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal
agreement between You (an entity or a person) and Novell, Inc.
("Novell"). The software product identified in the title of this
Agreement, media (if any) and accompanying documentation
(collectively the "Software") is protected by the copyright laws and
treaties of the United States ("U.S.") and other countries and is
subject to the terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree with the
terms of this Agreement, do not download, install or otherwise use
the Software and, if applicable, return the entire unused package to
the reseller with Your receipt for a refund. The Software is
licensed to You, not sold. If the Software is an update or support
release, then You must have validly licensed the version and
quantity of the Software being updated in order to install or use the
update or support release.
The Software may include or be bundled with other software programs
licensed under different terms and/or licensed by a licensor other
than Novell. Use of any software programs accompanied by a separate
license agreement is governed by that separate license agreement.
Any third party software that may be provided with the Software is
included for use at Your option. Novell is not responsible for any
third party's software and shall have no liability for Your use of
third party software.
LICENSED USE
Commercial Software.

Agreement, Novell grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable right
to reproduce and internally use the Software. You may not
redistribute the Software.
Evaluation Software. If the Software is an evaluation version or is
provided to You for evaluation purposes, then Your license to use the
Software is limited solely to internal evaluation purposes in
accordance with the terms of the evaluation offering under which You
received the Software and expires 90 days from installation (or such
other period as indicated by the Software) and the Software may cease
to function. Upon expiration of the evaluation period, You must
discontinue use of the Software, return to an original state any
actions performed by the Software, and delete the Software entirely
from Your system. The Software may contain an automatic disabling
mechanism that prevents its use after a certain period of time, so
You should back up Your system and take other measures to prevent any
loss of files or data. Use of the Software is entirely at Your own
risk.

maintenance under a Novell program for this Software, the upgrade
protection or maintenance only entitles You to upgrades of the
Software as a whole and does not entitle You to upgrades of any

individual suite products if the Software is licensed as a suite of
products. You may separately purchase upgrade protection or
maintenance for individual components of the Software if permitted by
the applicable Novell policies.

policies existing at the time You acquired the Software; (2) You
installed and used the Original Product in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the applicable license agreement; (3) At the time

permanently discontinue use of the Original Product within sixty (60)
days of installation of the Software; and (6) You will not sell or
otherwise transfer possession of the Original Product.
Additive License. This section applies to You if You are acquiring

conditions: (1) You have acquired the right to use this Software
solely to add additional users or servers to the Base Product that
You acquired legally; (2) At the time You acquired the Base Product,

OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. (The foregoing warranty does
not apply to Software provided free of charge. SUCH SOFTWARE IS
PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.)

DIRECT LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, OR OTHER USES IN WHICH
FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. NOVELL MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE NOT
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NOVELL DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE
OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. Some jurisdictions
do not allow certain disclaimers and limitations of warranties, so
portions of the above limitations may not apply to You. This limited
warranty gives You specific rights and You may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OR DATA, EVEN
IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
(b) Direct Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL NOVELL'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY
FOR DIRECT DAMAGES TO PROPERTY OR PERSON (WHETHER IN ONE INSTANCE OR
A SERIES OF INSTANCES) EXCEED 1.25 TIMES THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR
THE SOFTWARE OUT OF WHICH SUCH CLAIM AROSE [OR $50 (U.S.) IF YOU
RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE]. The above exclusions and
limitations will not apply to claims relating to death or personal
injury. In those jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of damages, Novell's liability shall be limited or
excluded to the maximum extent allowed within those jurisdictions.
GENERAL TERMS
Term. This Agreement becomes effective on the date You legally
acquire the Software and will automatically terminate if You breach
any of its terms. If the Software is provided to You on a

will terminate at the end of the applicable subscription period.
Upon termination of this Agreement or any applicable subscription
period, You must destroy the original and all copies of the Software
or return them to Novell and delete the Software from Your systems.
Benchmark Testing. This benchmark testing restriction applies to You
if You are a software developer or licensor or if You are performing
testing on the Software at the direction of or on behalf of a
software developer or licensor. You may not, without Novell's prior
written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, publish or disclose
to any third party the results of any benchmark test of the Software.
If You are a licensor of products that are functionally similar to or
compete with the Software ("Similar Products"), or are acting on
behalf of such a licensor, and You publish or disclose benchmark
information on the Software in violation of this restriction, then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Similar Product's end
user license agreement, and in addition to any other remedies Novell
may have, Novell shall have the right to perform benchmark testing on
Similar Products and to disclose and publish that benchmark
information and You hereby represent that You have authority to grant
such right to Novell.

otherwise affect any rights or obligations You may have, or
conditions to which You may be subject, under any applicable open
source licenses to any open source code contained in the Software.
Transfer. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned without
the prior written approval of Novell.

only be brought before the courts of competent jurisdiction of the
State of Utah. If, however, Your country of principal residence is a

and agreement between You and Novell and may be amended or modified

present right arising from any breach or failure to perform will be
deemed to be a waiver of any future right arising under this
Agreement.

unenforceable, that provision will be construed, limited, modified
or, if necessary, severed, to the extent necessary, to eliminate its
invalidity or unenforceability, and the other provisions of this
Agreement will remain unaffected.
