The scope provided by the licensor

A. Installation and initial restructuring

Licensor realizes that it has been told:

The specified CPU and licensee's properties and configuration of the hardware system to be used by the software;

Licensee's request for initial license software. For Licensor, the above is sufficient to determine the scope of services required to install the Licensed Software and the software modifications required for the initial use of Licensee. Based on the above, the licensor expresses and agrees that:

1. The license software delivered in accordance with Section 3-1 will run on the designated CPU and be adapted to Licensee's initial use of the Licensed Software without re-customizing the software. This has been explained to Licensor, if If the purpose of this initial use is to be re-engineered, then the software will be merged into the license software. Therefore, the cost of the software will be part of the fee specified in Section 5-1-1.

2. The installation of the license software, including the loading of the software, data location, file location and other related activities will be performed by the licensor's experts, and the cost will be part of the fee specified in Section 5-1-1. Licensee estimates that the duration of the licensor's work for this service will be several hours, but this number is not a limitation.

B. Initial training service

As part of the fees required by Section 5-1-1, Licensor will train the authorized personnel designated by Licensee at the designated CPU location as follows: Qualified personnel from Licensor provide training for several hours, depending on the The licensing software module is online. The training time will be arranged in paragraphs 2 to 3. A "computer system" is a combination of devices and programs. The program instructs or directs the hardware to perform the following operations:

BB;

Processing the input information according to the special instructions provided by the software;

The output information is generated according to the form and content required by the operator.

There are two main types of computer software programs. The first type is called the "system" program or the "operation" program, which is used to control the general purpose of the computer system and not specifically for the special purpose of the operator. The second type, called the "apply" program, is chosen by the operator and provides the required commands for the system to perform special function requirements. The central processing unit is the center of system operation, which interprets all incoming commands and directs hardware operations in the appropriate order. "Programming" is a process of program development that writes the type of each instruction and its execution order. Thus, when the computer system executes these instructions in the order specified by the program, it produces the desired result. The programming is done by a "programmer" trained to perform this kind of intellectual work. The original written program is called "source code." The source code must be converted into a "machine-readable" form, a form that the computer can recognize and be able to execute. This latter form is called "target code." In the CPU, data bits appear in groups, called "bytes." The various standards for its grouping and its "address" encoding, as well as the rate of data transfer in the system, are published with different types of CPUs manufactured by different manufacturers. These vendors or CPU vendors generally provide operating programs that control the CPU. . However, in recent years, a large number of computer software licenses have been mainly applied with software licenses. Although hardware manufacturers can supply some of these programs, the supply of such programs has increased significantly due to the wide range of applications. An example of this agreement is an application license. The property of computer software is that it is easily copied and used for unauthorized marketing and use, and the price is very cheap. Therefore, from the perspective of the licensor, the "core" of the computer program license is to protect the program from such unauthorized acts. In the early days of software licensing, the only thing that could be used to protect software was confidentiality. Today, in many countries, and even in most countries, computer programs can also be protected by copyright. Even if copyright protection is available, confidentiality is still important for program protection. The main interest of the licensee is to obtain software that performs the required tasks. In many cases, Licensee's business relies primarily on the licensed software to function properly and without interruption. The guarantee is useful, but less important than the performance that the licensee expects. Therefore, as with most prudent licensees, the licensee in the contract instance also has the right to use the license software during the trial period in order to see if it is competent for the job, if it does not meet the requirements, This license can be terminated. Any licensee also wants to be assured of the licensor's assistance, which is necessary to ensure that the software functions properly in the Licensee's environment, that the work is working smoothly, and that assistance can be provided to replace the need if necessary. software. Most programmers have broad market potential and they can provide such installation and maintenance services to licensees. Maintenance is provided on the basis of additional contracts. In this contract example, the maintenance fee is drawn as a percentage of the license fee. Licensors of popular programs typically continually improve these programs and provide such improved versions to their licensees. This improved version is provided under the maintenance contract. In addition, Licensee may be interested in modifying the Licensed Software itself or by incorporating the Software with other software. Most licensees of an application have the ability to correct or modify a program that is weaker than a program developer. This is even more the case if the licensee has no access to the source code. Originally, when writing a program, the correction or modification of the program was carried out in the form of source code. Fundamentally, you can try to convert the target code into source code without knowing the source code, but you have to run into some trouble. Therefore, it is important to access the source code when modifying the program or combining it with other programs. It is also important to maintain, improve, and otherwise change the license software properties and use the licensee that is interested or capable. Want to get the source code. On the one hand, refusing to provide source code is also a way for licensors to keep their licensed programs confidential. The following practices are not uncommon. If the source code is not included in the license, some special precautions should be included in the contract to enable the licensor to provide corrections and modifications to the license program for whatever reason. Licensee is able to use the source code when it is needed. For example, the source code can be temporarily stored in a trust company or a staging agency, authorizing it to make use of the licensee under certain conditions specified in the license contract. In this license example, Licensee's source code is included as part of the license.

It should be noted here that in Article 7, Licensee also has the right to amend and improve the Licensed Software and to take ownership of such improvements. Obtaining these rights is a difficult bargaining with the licensor, depending on the particular negotiation environment.很多的程式許可方都想自己保持有修改其程式的權利,以便更好地對程式加以控制。同時還要注意,對被許可方利用這種改進權利的限制是要遵守許可方關於保密信息的要求。這種限制在大多數軟體許可上都可以見到。

即使被許可方有了源碼,而且通過一次總付的方式也獲得使用許可軟體並對其進行改進的權利,但為穩妥起見,它還是希望能獲得許可方的維護服務,根據被許可方的選擇,這種維護服務是可終止的。

如同大多數應用程式的許可一樣,在本許可中,許可軟體也只限制在一台指定的CPU上使用。這種限制用於保護該軟體的許可價值。更為重要的,它為許可方保留這樣的機會,即它可以向同一個被許可方再次發放在其他CPU上的使用許可。由於對使用地點及被許可方人員接觸該軟體數量加以限制,這也有利於限制未經授權而拷貝該軟體的機會。

正如其他許可證一樣,價錢總是一個很重要的因素。在契約實例中,提成費採用隨許可證的發放而一次總付方式。這種支付方法幾乎都是用於價錢不太高的程式許可。對於複雜的和價格高的程式,當它作為協定書的標的時,常常是採用提成費的方式。只要許可方使用該許可程式,就必須支付提成費。這種支付方式的時間比較長,但它可能被那些小單位被許可方所接受,它不可能或不願意隨許可證的發放而一下子支付這么多的錢。採用提成費許可的方式還可以有這樣的做法,當所規定的提成費限額全部支付完時,該使用許可就已付清。
