The legal permission for the Licensee to use the SOFTWARE will be referred to as ‘Software License’. The Software License is perpetual.

When the Licensee pays for the SERVICES the Licensee is not acquiring ownership of any of the SERVICES but is paying for permission to use some or all of the SERVICES for a limited time.
An individual or entity that has been authorized by Mesoraware to sell SOFTWARE or SERVICES that belong to Mesoraware will be referred to as a ‘Reseller’. A Licensee that purchases SOFTWARE or SERVICES from a Reseller will be able to obtain a Software License or Services License as if the purchase was made directly from Mesoraware. Wherever this EULA refers to a Licensee purchasing a Software License or Services License from Mesoraware, that will include cases where the Licensee purchases a Software License or Services License from a Reseller.
The individual or entity will only retain a status of an authorized reseller if the individual or entity acts in accordance with Mesoraware’s licensing agreement with that particular individual or entity. If the individual or entity does not act in accordance with their licensing agreement with Mesoraware, any Licensee who receives usage of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES from that particular individual or entity will not be considered to have a valid Software License or Services License even if they paid for it.

3.1. User License
The SOFTWARE is licensed per user. Every individual that uses the SOFTWARE is considered a separate Licensee. The Licensee must own an appropriate Software License that was purchased from Mesoraware, purchased from a Reseller or been granted permission from Mesoraware in order to have the right to use the SOFTWARE. Anyone who does not own a valid appropriate Software License from Mesoraware to use the SOFTWARE is not allowed to use the SOFTWARE. Therefore, even if the SOFTWARE is installed on a computer that is used by a Licensee who owns a Software License from Mesoraware to use the SOFTWARE, someone else who does not own a valid License is not allowed to use the SOFTWARE.

The Licensee may copy the SOFTWARE onto more than one computer, provided that the SOFTWARE is not in use on more than three computers at any one time, and provided that the SOFTWARE is only used by a Licensee who owns a valid Software License purchased from Mesoraware.
Therefore, if the SOFTWARE is installed on multiple computers, or even if it is installed on a single computer or network that has multiple users, every individual that uses the SOFTWARE must own a valid Software License.
If the Licensee has copied the SOFTWARE to three computers and then wants to use the SOFTWARE on a fourth computer; the SOFTWARE will first need to be uninstalled and completely removed from one of the first three computers in order for the Licensee to be allowed to copy the SOFTWARE to a fourth computer.
