2. LICENSE GRANT

Standalone License.

Network License. If a Network license was purchased, you are granted a nonexclusive, nonassignable, nontransferable, non-sublicensable license, for your internal use only, for installation or storing the Software on multiple computers. The Software may then be run on these computers provided enough concurrent user licenses are acquired and dedicated for each separate computer that will run the Software concurrently.

Beta and Evaluation Version License. Some of the Software may be licensed on a beta or evaluation basis, which is not intended for commercial or professional use. Your rights to use beta or evaluation software are limited to the time period specified by Vendor. BETA AND EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS-IS”.

Academic License. Optum CE provides a free license for academic institutions and students for non-commercial use. Every licensee that wants to make use of this license needs to provide a valid email and name of the institution.

Use of the software in connection with scientific research publications is permitted as long as the use is acknowledged AND Optum is provided with a link to, or a copy of the publication.

The academic license is not valid for commercial use including:

Consulting for third parties, whether private or government organizations, by employees of or students at academic institutions.
Research work partly or fully funded by commercial entities or government institutions other than those concerned exclusively with the promotion and funding of research.
Workshops, training seminars and similar other than for students at the academic institution that holds the license.
If Optum CE is to gain knowledge that an Academic license is used for commercial purposes, the license will be revoked immediately and the licensee will be subject to prosecution according to Danish law.

Academic licenses are identified as such on the Sales Order confirmation OR clearly stated in the actual software when in use.

Geographic Restriction. The Software may only be used in the country identified when the software license was purchased as the country where the software will be used. Global Licenses are not restricted geographically.
