made to support such use. As used in this license, the Software is “in use” when it is
either loaded into RAM or installed on a hard disk or other permanent memory device.
The Software may be “in use” on only one computer at any given time. (Different license
terms and fees are applicable for networked or multiple user applications.) As a specific
condition of this license, you agree to use the Software in compliance with all applicable
laws, including copyright laws, and that you will not copy, transmit, perform or
distribute any audio or other content using the Software without obtaining all necessary
licenses or permissions from the owner of the content.
2. Restrictions. You may not distribute copies of the Software to others or electronically
transfer the Software from one computer to another over a network. You may not post or
otherwise make available the Software, or any portion thereof, in any form, on the Internet.
You may not use the Software in a computer service business, including in time sharing

decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-
perceivable form. YOU MAY NOT MODIFY, ADAPT, TRANSLATE, RENT, LEASE, LOAN,
RESELL FOR PROFIT, DISTRIBUTE, NETWORK OR CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS

3. Ownership of Software. As Licensee, you own the media upon which the software is
recorded or fixed, but Adaptec and its licensors retain title and ownership of the Software
recorded on the original media and all subsequent copies of the Software, regardless of the

not a sale of the Software or any copy.
4. Confidentiality. You agree to maintain the Software in confidence and that you will not
disclose the Software to any third party without the express written consent of Adaptec. You
further agree to take all reasonable precautions to preclude access of unauthorized persons
to the Software.
