IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING WATCHGUARD SOFTWARE:
This Firebox Software End-User License Agreement (“AGREEMENT”) is a legal agreement between you
(either an individual or a single entity) and WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. (“WATCHGUARD”) for the
WATCHGUARD Firebox software product, which includes computer software components (whether
installed separately on a computer workstation or on the WATCHGUARD hardware product or included on
the WATCHGUARD hardware product) and may include associated media, printed materials, and on-line or
electronic documentation, and any updates or modifications thereto, including those received through the
WatchGuard LiveSecurity Service (or its equivalent), (the “SOFTWARE PRODUCT”). WATCHGUARD is willing
to license the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to you only on the condition that you accept all of the terms contained
in this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully. By installing or using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT
you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this
AGREEMENT, WATCHGUARD will not license the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to you, and you will not have any
rights in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. In that case, promptly return the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, along with
proof of payment, to the authorized dealer from whom you obtained the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for a full
refund of the price you paid. The WATCHGUARD hardware product is subject to a separate agreement and
limited hardware warranty included with the WATCHGUARD hardware product packaging and/or in the
associated user documentation.
1. Ownership and License. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and international
copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. This is a license agreement and
NOT an agreement for sale. All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (including but not

(B) To use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on more than one WATCHGUARD hardware product at once, you
must purchase an additional copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for each additional WATCHGUARD
