YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY SELECTING THE "ACCEPT" OPTION AND DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT OR BY INSTALLING, USING, OR COPYING THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. YOU MUST AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST SELECT "DECLINE" AND YOU MUST NOT INSTALL, USE, OR COPY THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

License CATEGORIES
ENTERPRISE - This Agreement entitles you to install and use one copy of the Software Product. In addition, you may make one archival copy of the Software Product. The archival copy must be on a storage medium other than a hard drive, and may only be used for the reinstallation of the Software Product. This Agreement does not permit the installation or use of multiple copies of the Software Product, or the installation of the Software Product on more than one computer at any given time, on a system that allows shared use of applications, on a multi-user network, or on any configuration or system of computers that allows multiple users. Multiple copy use or installation is only allowed if you obtain an appropriate licensing agreement for each user and each copy of the Software Product.

ENTERPRISE for EDUCATIONAL use - Any Enterprise License offered at educational discounts (as specified on quote and/or invoice) is to be ONLY for educational, non-commercial use, for a minimum of 1 year from time of purchase, is non-transferrable, and is individual-based (not company-based).

VIEWER and free PROFESSIONAL (Pro released after Feb 2018) - This Agreement entitles you to install and use the limited "Professional ("Pro"), formerly named "Lite", and "Viewer" versions of the Software Product on any number of your computers. Free Pro version output is ONLY TO BE USED in the CAD format in which it is created by the Software, and NOT to be traslated to another CAD option available for sale; doing so is a violation of this EULA. Pro version output files may be altered (but not translated to other formats), but removal or any alteration of the auto-inserted "PCB Libraries" meta data from any output files is a violation of this Agreement. There are no restrictions on number of installations for the Pro and "Viewer" versions.

Software evaluation may only be done with the initial evaluation license, any action to extend this time, such as but not limited to reinstalling, changing computers, using multiple drives, etc., is prohibited.

CLOUD - If using a free PCBL Software edition (such as but not limited to Viewer, Professional, POD Builder), the Evaluation License, or a purchased Enterprise LEASE License, you are most likely using the CLOUD License. By using the CLOUD License, you consent to the Software Product automatically sending PCBL identifying information such as your Computer Name/ID, MAC Address, IP Address, Email, the Software Product Edition/Version, and License Key. This information will be sent in an encrypted form, and used only by PCBL for the purposes of ensuring EULA compliance, and optimizing PCBL product, service and license performance and availability. Availability of this license is subject to numerous variables related to network/internet connectivity between you and PCBL servers, as well as downtime due to other reasons - such downtime for updates or maintenance. Proxy Servers are not supported. While PCBL will take all reasonable steps to ensure availability, it makes no guarantee the license server will be reachable at any given time. PCBL may impose other restrictions for users of the CLOUD license, such as Software upgrade requirements, and for the free editions - a requirement to subscribe to emailed New Release alerts in order to maintain an active CLOUD license.

---------------------------------------
License Types (ENTERPRISE)

SEVERAL types of ENTERPRISE licenses are available for this product. These licenses are in two categories: 1) USB Key (SINGLE USER, NETWORK, GLOBAL), and 2) SL (SINGLE-SL, NETWORK-SL, GLOBAL-SL - based on PC or server hardware). The type of license purchased is specified on the invoice or receipt. You assume full responsibility for the safekeeping of the license/registration code you are provided for either type of license.

LEASED LICENSE (CLOUD) - Two types of Leased Licenses are available 1) Regular, which may be shared on company site, or by employees working remotely within 100 miles / 161 kilometers from company site, and 2) Global, which may be shared with other company users via a secured internet connection globally. Leased License use should be limited to number of seats (simultanous PCs) purchased. The Leased License is available in monthly and annual increments, with access limited by quantity of MAC addresses purchased. You will not at any time use more simultaneous PCs with the license than purchased. The availability of this license is subject to a number of variables (such as connectivity or routing issues) that may make it impossible for you to access the License Server. Refunds will not be issued. If you need a license that does not depend on connectivity variables, see the USB Key or SL Key options.

SINGLE USER - Perpetual, on USB Key. This license grants use of the Software on one computer OTHER than a server, shared drive, or other medium that shares connection with other computers. When the Software is used under this license, it must be used locally. One (1) website user is allowed for each Single User License. The website account is for software updates, not for POD access, unless POD subscription is purchased.

NETWORK - The Network License is available on USB Key or SL-install, and the number of seats/licenses purchased may be checked in/out over a local network. The Network License grants the right to install and use the Software on a local company network. For example, a 10-user Network License grants use of the Software on 10 simultaneous computers, anywhere on the company's local network. It is the users' responsibility to ensure the license/software is allowed/restricted to specific user(s). Three (3) local (same company location) website users are allowed for each Network User License. The website accounts are for software updates, not for POD access, unless POD subscriptions are purchased.

GLOBAL - The Global Network License is available on USB Key or SL-install, and the number of seats/licenses purchased may be checked in/out over a global company network. The Global Network License grants the right to install and use the Software on global company network (using VPN). For example, a 10-user Network License grants use of the Software on 10 simultaneous computers, anywhere on the company's global network. It is the users' responsibility to ensure the license/software is allowed/restricted to specific user(s). Four (4) website users are allowed for each Global Network User License. The website accounts are for software updates, not for POD access, unless POD subscriptions are purchased.

POD Subscription & POD Credits
POD Subscription may be used to download a specific amount of content from POD, of existing FPX parts, that can import into the Footprint Expert software to output footprints, and for standard component packages only, 3D STEP models - based on the purchased software license, or export availability of the free Pro or POD Builder software editions. POD Credits can be used for downloading an individual part at a time from POD, or submitting a POD New Part Request. New Part Requests are automatically deducted POD Credits based on the user-defined data, but may be adjusted by time of delivery. For example, if user-defined New Part Requests indicates the part is a standard part, the standard part fee is deducted automatically from the user's account. If the part is actually a non-standard, confidential, or highly-complex part, additional POD Credits will be deducted to complete the part. If there is an overdraft use of POD Credits after an adjustment, user will be required to purchase additional POD Credits to continue using POD. There are no refunds for New Part Requests.

POD Fees
No POD fees apply to accounts that use at least one POD Credit per calendar year. As of December 31, 2021, at the end of each calendar year, accounts that did not use a minimum of 1 POD Credit during the same calendar year will be designated "Inactive". Inactive Accounts will accrue a maintenance cost of 24 POD Credits for the calendar year. If the account has insufficient POD Credits for the Inactive Account maintenance fee, the POD Credit balance will be reduced to zero (0). Inactivity fees assessed will not be refunded.

Activation Types, Limits, and Replacements
USB KEY (HASP HL) - USB Keys are perpetual licenses - they only need to be activated one time, and with any change in product over time (addition of new CAD tools, etc). The perpetual USB Key-based license is the default license priced into the Software Product. Damaged USB Keys may be replaced by PCBL at cost (varies based on type of license), plus an administrative fee and shipping/handling, provided the damaged USB Key is sent to PCBL and its authenticity can be verified. Lost or stolen keys will not be replaced and the license must be repurchased. It is recommended that customers add this license to the business insurance policy they have to ensure it is covered. PCBL can issue a 30-day temporary license while the insurance process covers for the repurchase of the new license(s).

SINGLE-SL and NETWORK-SL
The HASP "SL" licenses expire at the end of each calendar year, at which time they cease to function unless they either get REFRESHED or REPLACED.
	REFRESH - renewing same License ID (on same machine, or server if a network license)
	REPLACE - issue a new License ID for a new PC or server

There will be no cost to REFRESH nor REPLACE either SL license if in conjunction with an upgrade purchase. If no upgrade is purchased and the license needs to be refreshed for a Software Product version older than what is currently available at that time (for example refreshing a 2016 license for another 12 months in 2017 without upgrading to version 2017), the 12-month REFRESH will be subject to a non-refundable processing fee of $100. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE that older versions of the Software Product will function as intended - or at all - with newer operating systems, patches, .NET Framework updates, etc.

If the license needs to be installed on a new computer or a new activation is required for whatever reason, a REPLACEMENT license will be required, and may be subject to a non-refundable cost. Customer and PCBL may need to take steps to terminate all previously issued license(s)/activation(s) that are being replaced. A limit of one (1) license replacement is allowed for any purchased 12-month period; subsequent activations in a 12-month period incurs a processing fee of $120 per Network User / Seat (for example, a 3-User Network License would be $360, calculated as 3 x $120); after the one license replacement allowed is claimed, subsequent replacements may require license repurchase, if proof of termination of previous activations cannot be established. Allowed license replacements are only available for licenses on current maintenance, and do not roll over or accrue.

NOTE: All costs associated with REFRESH or REPLACEMENT of SL Licenses are subject to reasonable change year to year.
