to FAR 12.212 and 27.405-3 and Depart-
ment of Defense FAR Supplement

ment acquires commercial computer

ernment rights in excess of these rights
customarily provided to the public to use,
modify, reproduce, release, perform, dis-
play, or disclose commercial computer
software or commercial computer soft-
ware documentation. No additional gov-
ernment requirements beyond those set
forth in the EULA shall apply, except to
the extent that those terms, rights, or
licenses are explicitly required from all
providers of commercial computer soft-
ware pursuant to the FAR and the DFARS
and are set forth specifically in writing
elsewhere in the EULA. Keysight shall be
under no obligation to update, revise or
otherwise modify the Software. With
