As used in this License Agreement, “You” shall mean the individual using or installing the Software together with any individual or entity, including but not limited to your employer, on whose behalf you are acting in using or installing the Software.

1. License Grant

In consideration for the license fee paid, and other good and valuable consideration, IDAutomation.com, Inc. grants to you only, the Licensee, the non-exclusive, nontransferable right to use the Software in accordance with the license You purchase. If you are using this product for your employer, this agreement also includes your employer.

• The Single User License allows use of the Software for one effective user in your organization. The number of effective users for software licensing is determined by the method defined below that returns the greatest number.
  1. The number of users contributing to the data that is printed with the Software. For example, 20 users entering or editing data on a host where only 1 program prints barcodes to 1 printer, would require a license for 20 effective users. According to the multiple user licensing below, this would only require 2 Single User Licenses to be purchased.
  2. The number of users that have the Software installed on their CPU.
  3. The number of printers that are being printed to with the Software. For example, 1 user printing to 5 printers would require a license for 5 effective users. According to the multiple user licensing below, 2 Single User Licenses would need to be purchased.

  Multiple User Licensing with the Single User License:
  If multiple Single User Licenses of the same product are purchased, the effective number of licensed users for Software is determined by the following:
  1 Single User License Purchased  =  1 licensed user
  2 Single User Licenses Purchased = 25 licensed users
  3 Single User Licenses Purchased = 100 licensed users
  4 Single User Licenses Purchased = Developer License Granted for 10,000 licensed users

  Developer use with the Single User License:
  The Single User License also allows one developer to integrate the Software into the organization's applications provided that the developer (1) ensures the Software is licensed according to the multiple user licensing described above and (2) does not distribute the Software outside the organization. If You have more than one developer that will be developing applications using the Software, You will need to purchase a Developer License for each additional developer.

• Small Company Developer License - The Developer License is granted to all organizations with a gross annual revenue or funding of less than 1 million U.S. Dollars (or equivalent amount in a foreign currency) if that company purchases either two (2) Single User Licenses for the same Software product or the Small Company Developer License and sends us a signed small company agreement which is located at http://www.idautomation.com/sca/
• The Single Server License allows use of the Software on one (1) server in your organization, where a single server may have up to 2 CPUs and up to 100 average concurrent users. A Single Server License is required for each server. Additional Single Server Licenses may also be obtained for the same server to increase the requirements. For example, 2 Single Server Licenses allow up to 4 CPUs and up to 200 average concurrent users on the same server. The Developer License supports up to 100 servers with an unlimited number of users per server. If Software is not used on a server, this licensing options of the Single User License may be used.

• The Developer License allows one developer royalty-free distribution of the Software internally (in the same organization) and externally (outside the organization) up to a limit of 10,000 user licenses, provided You adhere to the following distribution terms:
  • Internal Distribution Terms: The Software may be installed and used by up to ten thousand (10,000) effective users in that organization. If use exceeds 10,000 effective users, additional Developer Licenses are required; each Developer License purchased will allow an additional 10,000 users.

    • You may not resell, rent, lease or distribute the Software alone. The Software must be distributed as a component of an application and bundled with an application or with the application's installation files. The Software may only be used as part of, and in connection with, the bundled application.
    • You may not resell, rent, lease or distribute Software in any way that would compete with IDAutomation.com, Inc. Therefore, the application You distribute shall not be: (1) an application that has a  primary purpose of printing or creating barcodes or (2) a software development tool intended for distribution to other software developers or programmers.
    • All source code provided by IDAutomation.com, Inc. that is distributed with an application must be compiled or password protected to the extent that only the software developer(s) may obtain access to it.
    • If You also distribute the Software internally within your organization, You shall deduct the quantity distributed within your organization from the total number that can be distributed outside your organization. For example, if You use 4,000 licenses internally, You may only distribute up to 6,000 licenses outside your organization.
    • The 10,000 user licenses are used by the number of users Your bundled product is licensed for with the exception that if your product is licensed for more than 100 users per copy, only 100 licenses of the Developer License are used per copy distributed. For example, if you distribute an application licensed for 25 users, then that application used 25 of the available 10,000 licenses. If you distribute an application that is licensed to be used on a server or host system in such a way that 300 users use it, then that application used 100 of the available 10,000 user licenses. If you distribute 1 copy of an application licensed for 1 user, then only 1 license is used.

Royalty-free, unlimited distribution is granted after purchasing three Developer Licenses.
    • A valid copyright notice must be provided within the user documentation, start-up screen or in the help-about section of your application that specifies IDAutomation.com, Inc. as the provider of the Software bundled with Your application, for example: "<<your application name>> contains barcode generation components licensed from IDAutomation.com, Inc.
