Legal notes in the setup program for new software products

All software products are supplied with a common notice regarding license conditions.

The license conditions are included either with the documentation or with the software packaging. If the software is purchased over the Internet, the license agreement will appear on the screen before the order is processed and must be accepted by the user before the product can be downloaded.

Attention:

This software is protected by German and/or US copyright laws and international agreements. The unauthorized copying or sale of this software is a criminal offense. Offenders will be subject to both criminal and civil proceedings, resulting in severe penalties and/or claims for damages.

Before installing and using the software, please read the applicable license conditions, which you will find in the documentation or packaging.

If your copy of the software has been provided on a CD marked "Trial Version" or together with a licensed software product, the software may only be used for test and validation purposes in accordance with the conditions for the Trial License. Programs, software libraries, etc. must be installed on your computer. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you install the software on a stand-alone machine or on a machine that is not used in the production process or to store important data, as existing data could be modified or overwritten. We can take no responsibility for any damages and/or loss of data resulting from software installation or non-compliance with this warning.

Use of this software without obtaining a valid license from Siemens is expressly prohibited. If you do not have a valid license and a corresponding Certificate of License/software product certificate, please terminate the installation process immediately and contact a Siemens subsidiary without delay to avoid claims for damages.

Software maintenance service

If you intend to maintain the most up-to-date version of your software, you can take out a software maintenance service contract. This service ensures that you will automatically be sent the most recent software updates, which will be released for delivery once the contract for the associated software product has been concluded.

This service can be used for single licenses and/or copy licenses and applies to all registered software products.

The software maintenance service is purchased individually for each software product to be maintained and is valid for one year. Before the year end, you will be notified of the service contract termination options in writing. If the service contract has not been terminated four weeks before the year end, the existing contract will be extended for one more year.

Ordering

An order number is required for the software maintenance service.

The software maintenance service can be ordered at the same time as the software products or at a later date. If it is ordered at a later date, you must be in possession of at least one single license.

Note

You are advised to take out the software maintenance service contract as early as possible. If a new version of a software product is released for delivery by Siemens, only customers registered in a corresponding supply list at that time will receive the product automatically.

Earlier software versions and the current software version are not covered by the software maintenance service contract. A precondition of every software maintenance contract is that the customer is in possession of the current version of the software product when the contract is taken out.

Delivery

When you order a software maintenance service contract, you will receive the contractual terms and conditions for this service. Payment is due at this point. At the same time, the software product to be maintained will be registered in a supply list.

If Siemens releases a new version of the software product for general supply (function or product version) during the period of validity of the contract, it will be automatically sent to customers figuring in the supply list.
