Cisco End User License Agreement
Software in any manner (including on CD-Rom, or on-line). In order to use the Software, Customer may be required
to input a registration number or product authorization key and register Customer’s copy of the Software online at
Cisco’s website to obtain the necessary license key or license file.
Customer’s license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer shall not use the Software in
excess of, a single hardware chassis or card or such other limitations as are set forth in the applicable
Supplemental License Agreement or in the applicable purchase order which has been accepted by Cisco
and for which Customer has paid to Cisco the required license fee (the “Purchase Order”).
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation or any applicable Supplemental License
Agreement, Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the
applicable Documentation permits installation on non-Cisco equipment) for communication with Cisco
equipment owned or leased by Customer and used for Customer’s internal business purposes. No other
licenses are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
For evaluation or beta copies for which Cisco does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to
pay license fees does not apply.
General Limitations
. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the Software and Documentation, and Cisco
retains ownership of all copies of the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software and
Documentation contain trade secrets of Cisco or its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific
internal design and structure of individual programs and associated interface information. Except as otherwise
expressly provided under the Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:
(i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity (other than in
compliance with any Cisco relicensing/transfer policy then in force), or use the Software on
unauthorized or secondhand Cisco equipment, and Customer acknowledges that any attempted
transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;
(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works
based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do the same;
(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to
human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law
notwithstanding this restriction;
(iv) publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software;
(v) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service
bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco; or
(vi) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the Software and
Documentation in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of Cisco. Customer
shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.
To the extent required by applicable law, and at Customer’s written request, Cisco shall provide Customer with the inter-
face information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program,
on payment of Cisco’s applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to
such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which
Cisco makes such information available.
Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of the Agreement, “Software” shall include
(and the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall apply to) computer programs, including firmware,
as provided to Customer by Cisco or an authorized Cisco reseller, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes
or modified versions thereto (collectively, “Upgrades”) or backup copies of any of the foregoing.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS
NO LICENSE OR RIGHT TO MAKE OR USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES
UNLESS CUSTOMER, AT THE TIME OF MAKING OR ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE,
ALREADY HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE
