Licensor grants End User a personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use one (1) copy of the Software (in object code form only) only on End User's personal computer as a single user solely for End User's personal, non-commercial use. If Licensor provides End User with any updates to the Software, End User's use of such updates will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or other agreement that is applied to such updates. The Software is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. All ownership rights in the Software, including any related documentation and any new releases, modifications, and enhancements thereto belong solely to Licensor and its licensors if any, including all intellectual property rights therein. The Software is licensed, not sold. Title does not pass to End User. There is no implied license, right or interest granted in any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, invention or other intellectual property right.
  2. Additional Restrictions. End User shall not (i) copy, modify, adapt, translate into any language, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Software; (ii) sublicense, sublease, lease, lend, assign, sell, resell, license, re-license, distribute, rent, export, re-export, permit concurrent use of or grant other rights in the Software and any attempt by End User to take such action shall be void; (iii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or attempt to reconstruct, identify, or discover any source code, underlying ideas, underlying user interface techniques, or algorithms of the Software by any means whatsoever; (iv) remove or alter any copyright and/or other proprietary notices contained on or in the Software; (v) use the Software for unlawful purposes, including to create or proliferate a virus or to circumvent any copy protection or other digital rights management mechanism, or to facilitate such unlawful purposes.
