1) Siemens License Conditions
General License Conditions for Software Products for Automation and Drives
(2011-08-01)
1. Supply of Software to Licensee and Granting of Rights to use the Software
1.1 These General License Conditions shall exclusively apply to the delivery of Software for Automation and Drives to
the Licensee. General terms and conditions of the Licensee shall apply only where expressly accepted in writing by us.
The scope of delivery of the Software shall be determined by the congruent mutual written declarations of both parties.
We shall grant the Licensee rights to use the software specified in the Confirmation of Order or, if the Licensee does not
receive a Confirmation of Order, the software specified in the Certificate of License or that specified in the Software
Product Sheet, if the Licensee is instead submitted a Software Product Sheet (hereinafter referred to as "SW"). The
Certificate of License and the Software Product Sheet shall be collectively referred to as "CoL" hereinafter. The
Licensee shall be submitted the CoL when the SW is supplied or in conjunction with the delivery bill. The way in which
the SW is supplied is also derived directly from the Confirmation of Order or from the SW purchase order number
contained in the Confirmation of Order, in conjunction with the associated order data of our catalog valid at the time of
the Confirmation of Order (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Order Data"), or from the CoL. If the Licensee does not
receive a data medium, it shall be authorized to copy the SW already available to it to the extent necessary to exercise
the rights to use the SW granted to it. The aforesaid shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to electronic supply of the software
(downloading). Where reference is made to the Order Data or the CoL in these General License Conditions, the
reference to the CoL is of significance if the Licensee has not received a Confirmation of Order. In any case, the data
contained in the Order Data is also contained in the CoL.
1.2 The Documentation relating to the SW (hereinafter referred to as "Documentation") shall be purchased separately,
unless either the Order Data or CoL contains a stipulation stating that it belongs to the scope of delivery. If the Licensee
is authorized to copy the SW in accordance with Clause 1.1, this shall also apply to the Documentation provided that it is
included in the scope of delivery.
1.3 In the event that we submit a License Key to the Licensee, which unlocks the SW (hereinafter referred to as
"License Key"), this License Key must also be installed.
1.4 The rights granted to the Licensee with respect to the SW are based on the License Type (see Section 2) and the
Software Type (see Section 3). The license and Software Types are detailed in the Order Data or CoL. If the SW is
supplied electronically or if copying rights are granted for it, the rights and duties specified in these General License
Conditions shall apply to the legitimately generated copies.
1.5 If the Licensee is legitimately in possession of a previous SW version/release (hereinafter referred to as "Previous
Version"), the Licensee shall be authorized to exercise the rights to use the SW granted to it either with respect to the
SW or - if this is intended from a technical point of view - to the Previous Version, at its own discretion (downgrading). If
the SW is an Upgrade or PowerPack in accordance with Section 4, Section 4 shall apply additionally.
1.6 If Previous Versions are listed in the Readme file of the SW under the category parallel use, the Licensee has the
right to exercise, alternatively to the user rights granted to him for the SW, the user rights for the listed Previous
Versions in one (1) Instance. If the Type of use named in the Order Data or the CoL is: Installation or User, the
Licensee is entitled to the previously described right additionally to and at the same time as the Previous Versions listed
in one Instance. An Instance in the context of these General License Conditions is either an instance in a physical
operating system environment or an instance in a virtual operating system environment. The transferability of the user
rights onto Previous Versions is only permissible in conjunction with the user rights for the SW in accordance with
Clause 5.3.

1.7 In case the Licensee obtains only the data media but no license as per the Order Data or the CoL, any use of the
SW by the Licensee is subject to the acquisition of a license according to Section 2. Up to the acquisition of the license,
the Licensee is not entitled to supply the SW to third parties.
1.8 In case the SW contains Open Source Software or any similar software of a third party (hereinafter referred to as
"OSS") the OSS is listed in the Readme_OSS-file of the SW. The Licensee is entitled to use the OSS in accordance with
the respective license conditions of the OSS. The license conditions are provided on the same data carrier as the SW.
The license conditions of the respective OSS shall prevail over these General License Conditions with respect to the
OSS. If the license conditions of the OSS require the distribution of the source code of such OSS we shall provide such
source code on request against payment of the shipping and handling charges.
1.9 The SW may be or contain licensed software other than OSS, i.e. software which has not been developed by us
itself but which has been licensed to us by a third party (hereinafter referred to as the "Licensor"), e.g. Microsoft
Licensing Inc. If the Licensee receives the terms and conditions stipulated by the relevant Licensor together with the SW
in the Readme_OSS file in this case, such terms and conditions shall apply with respect to the Licensor's liability vis--
vis the Licensee. Our own liability vis--vis the Licensee shall be governed in any case by these General License
Conditions.

If the Software Type is not specified in the Order Data or CoL, the rights specified in Clause 3.2 (Runtime Software)
shall apply to the SW.
3.1 Engineering Software (hereinafter referred to as "E-SW")
In the event that the Licensee uses E-SW to generate its own programs or data containing parts of the E-SW, the
Licensee shall have the right, without having to pay any license fee, to copy and to use these parts of the E-SW as a
part of its own programs or data, or to supply them to third parties for use. In the event that such parts are supplied to
third parties for use, these parties shall be bound in writing to comply with stipulations corresponding to those in Clauses
5.1 and 5.2 with respect to the above parts of the E-SW.

catalog valid at that time. In the event that the Licensee supplies the specified programs or data to third parties for their

granted to the Licensee to use the Source License end in conjunction with the upgrade measure. The rights of use in
accordance with Clause 1.6 remain unaffected by this. However, the Licensee is entitled to undo the upgrading
(downgrading) - if this is intended from a technical point of view - and to exercise the rights to use the SW granted to it
with respect to the Source Version in accordance with Clause 1.5.
5. Further Rights and Duties of the Licensee
5.1 Unless a stipulation to the contrary relating to a specific number of copies is contained on the data medium or in the
readme file of the SW, the Licensee may generate an appropriate number of copies of every item of SW which it is
authorized to use in accordance with these General License Conditions, where such copies shall be used exclusively for
data backup purposes. Furthermore the Licensee may only copy the SW if and insofar as it has been granted copying

accordingly to the Documentation supplied in accordance with Section 1.
5.3 The Licensee shall be entitled to completely transfer the right to use the SW granted to it to a third party, provided
that it concludes a written agreement with the third party in conformance with all of the conditions contained in this

at any time, if requested.

us at any time, if requested, together with the CoL for the SW. In the event that the Licensee transfers its right to use the

third party.
5.5 If the Licensee receives a data medium which, in addition to the SW, contains further software products which are
released for use, then it shall have the right to use these released software products exclusively for validation purposes,
for a limited period of time and free of charge. The period of use shall be limited to 14 days, commencing with the first
start-up of the relevant software program unless a different period is specified e.g. in the readme file of the relevant
software product. These software products supplied exclusively for validation purposes shall be governed, mutatis
mutandis, by the stipulations contained in these General License Conditions. The Licensee shall not be authorized to
