1.2 License FEES. You may use the unlicensed, evaluation version of our software for a single period not exceeding 30 calendar days following the day of installation for the purpose of evaluating the software (the evaluation period) at no charge. During the evaluation period, you must determine that the Software sufficiently meets your requirements. To use the Software beyond the evaluation period you MUST purchase a License (Known as "Software Product License" or "License") from the Developer and pay the applicable fee(s). Developer offers no refunds for any reason. All sales are final.

1.2b Active Verification Licensing. When licensed, the Software Product uses Active Verification Licensing (AVL) to authenticate the installed license. At various intervals, AVL will attempt to verify the installed license by prompting you for a Verification Key (VK). The VK can be returned quickly through the Internet or alternatively by telephone. Telephone verification will only be available during Developer's business hours and we strongly recommend having an internet connection as this is the only way to verify after business hours. You will not be able to use the Software Product unless this key is successfully returned.

The Software Product License is a digital certificate that is uniquely created for each customer based on their Site information as defined in section 1.3a and the licensing algorithms contained in the corresponding version of the Software Product. This License authorizes the Software Product to freely operate without the limitations set during the evaluation period.
