1. Grant of License
This Gateway License Agreement (“License”) permits you to use one copy of the specified version of the Gateway
SOFTWARE identified above (which may include at least one CD or DVD disc) on any single computer, provided
the SOFTWARE is in use on only one computer at any time. If you have multiple Licenses for the SOFTWARE, then
at any time you may have as many copies of the SOFTWARE in use as you have Licenses. The SOFTWARE is “in
use” on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed in the permanent
memory (e.g. hard disk, CD and/or DVD, or other storage device of that computer, except that a copy installed
on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution of other computer is not “in use.” If the anticipated
number of users of the SOFTWARE will exceed the number of applicable Licenses, then you must have a
reasonable mechanism or process in place to assure that the number of persons using the SOFTWARE
concurrently does no exceed the number of Licenses. If the SOFTWARE is permanently installed on the hard disk
or the storage device of a computer (other than a network server) and one person uses that computer more
than 80% of the time it is in use, then that person may also use the SOFTWARE on a portable or home computer.
