COMPANY LICENSING POLICY
1. Personal licenses
These licenses are for use of researchers on a single computer and are limited to personal computers.
For the Linux version (dragonX) personal licenses do not allow SSH, RSH, Telnet and all other remote access protocols.
There is no expiration for a personal license.
2. Workstation licenses (only for dragonX)
These licenses are for use by researchers on a computer with multiple users and accounts, such as Linux workstations and other shared computational resources. On these systems, a rent fee is required on a yearly basis. For this yearly fee, maintenance and updates at no costs are provided.
Note that workstation licenses will expire and the software no longer function unless renewed.
3. Evaluation licenses
These licences are intended only for evaluating the product performances and functionalities. No other uses are allowed under the Evaluation licenses.
ACADEMIC LICENSING POLICY
1. Goal
Talete Academic Licensing Policy is designed to foster and support bona fide academic research. To this end Talete srl provides a discount on the academic license prices.
If the academic licensing policy is respected, there is no expiration for an academic license.
2. Academic license eligibility
The Talete academic license is contingent on the eligibility of the Licensee, determined solely by Talete srl, based on Talete Academic Licensing Policy, and contingent on the continued accuracy of the pertinent information provided by the Licensee. Any determination of academic eligibility, and Talete Academic Licensing Policy, including pricing, may be changed at any time without prior notice, at Talete’s sole discretion. Not all university research groups are eligible. Reasearch groups not at universities may be eligible.
3. Academic means non-commercial
Talete srl issues academic Licensee for non-commercial use only. Talete recognizes the complexity and diversity of academic and commercial activities among nominally academic and commercial organizations, and will endeavour to support academics as much as possible without compromising Talete’s commercial interests.
4. Academic means public results
Academic licenses are intended only for research from which any resulting intellectual property remains in the public domain. Research done with the software which is intended to lead to a commercial product/service or for which any of the resulting intellectual property is expected to be held by or licensed to a private corporation, requires a COMPANY license, regardless of the nature of the institution at which the research is completed.
5. When academic becomes commercial
In cases where a research project is represented as academic, in good faith or otherwise, for which an academic license is used, and any data, intellectual property or products resulting from the research project are subsequently commercialized, the Academic License agreement will have been breached. Since the software has been used for commercial purposes, the Licensee agrees to compensate Talete srl based on the commercial list prices of the software at the time the academic license was executed.
6. Scope of eligibility
Talete srl will determine academic license eligibility on a research group specific case basis. Thus, academic licenses will only apply to the research group of a specific individual (principal investigator). Licensee may install and use the software on computers at their research site. Licensee may not allow anyone other than the principal investigator and the immediate members of their research group to use the software.
7. Changes to policy
Talete srl reserves the right to change its Academic Licensing Policy at any time, at its sole discretion, without prior notice. If any such changes are unacceptable to the Licensee, the Academic license shall be immediately terminated.

Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the software and documentation shall remain in Talete srl. The software and documentation are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties.

Licensee shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidential and trade secret status of the software, documentation and other proprietary Talete information and materials provided to Licensee.
THE AUTHORS OF THIS SOFTWARE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGE ARISING THROUGH INSTALLATION AND /OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
