1.4.1 License Keys and Authorizations

Introduction
With the purchase of a software package, you obtain a specific user license with an
associated license key.
The license key is installed on the following devices:
● On the hard disk of a WinCC flexible configuration PC
● On the hard disk of a PC-based HMI device
A PC with WinCC flexible Runtime
● On a non-PC-based HMI Devices
The license key enables a particular part of the software to be used.
Authorizations were used instead of the new License keys in versions up to WinCC flexible
2004.
You can continue to use existing authorizations for WinCC flexible Runtime options and
powerpacks in many cases. Compared to authorizations, the License Keys are more
convenient and offer many new functions.

Note
You can also transfer License keys to different PCs on the network. For detailed information,
refer to Automation License Manager Online Help.

Note
If you want to retrofit an existing system, you can purchase an upgrade. The upgrade
replaces existing authorizations or License Keys with the new License Key.

CAUTION
If an authorization is being upgraded to a license key, the authorization is destroyed and a
license key is created. This effect is irreversible. The generated license key can no longer
be used as a license for previous versions of WinCC flexible.

1.4.2 License types

The type of use for the software results from the certificate of license.
WinCC flexible Engineering System requires the following types of license:
● Floating license
● Trial license
WinCC flexible Runtime and options for runtime use the following types of license:
● Single license

Floating license
The floating license is the standard license for the WinCC flexible Engineering System.
The floating license is an unrestricted license (in terms of time), that you can install and use
locally or on any computer.
The floating license can also be purchased from a license server via the network. In doing
so, a license key is assigned by the license server when starting WinCC flexible. When
ending WinCC flexible the license key is then enabled once again.
The license size cannot be selected when obtained via the license server. The first free
license of the license server is allocated. You must therefore ensure that sufficient floating
licenses are available on the license server. If the requesting computer does not have a
sufficiently large license, WinCC flexible ES can only be operated at a lower edition.
If the floating license is purchased via the network, you must also note the following points:
● The Automation License Manager V4.0 must be installed on the license server.
● After a connection interruption, after three hours the non-licensed mode will be launched.
The floating license can be upgradeable.

Single license
All licenses for WinCC flexible Runtime and runtime options are single licenses.
The single license is an unrestricted standard license (in terms of time), that you can install
and use locally or on any computer.
The single license can be upgradeable.

Trial license
The trial license is a unique, restricted standard license (in terms of time), that you can install
and use locally or on any computer. The trial license expires after 14 days.

CAUTION
If an authorization is being upgraded to a license key, the authorization is destroyed and a
license key is created. This effect is irreversible. The generated license key can no longer
be used as a license for previous versions of WinCC flexible.

Starting without a valid license key

If you start WinCC flexible without a valid license, the system alerts you that you are working
in non-licensed mode. You have the one-time option of activating a trial license. The trial
license expires after 14 days.
If the trial license expires, the following scenarios can occur:
● WinCC flexible was never licensed on the PC in question.
– WinCC flexible cannot be started.
● WinCC flexible was already licensed on the PC in question.
– WinCC flexible cannot be started. Non-licensed mode is indicated every 10 minutes by
a window, which you must acknowledge.

To correct or avoid error

Install the license key for the respective license.

License type
A floating license is used for the WinCC flexible Engineering System.

1.4.4 Requesting License Keys from a license server

Note
You cannot select the licensing scope of License Keys you requested from the the license
server. You will be assigned the largest free license on the license server. You must
therefore ensure that the license server provide floating licenses of an appropriate size.
WinCC flexible starts without valid License Key if the requesting PC does not find a license.
Make sure that the Automation License Manager V4.0 is installed on the license server.

The system usually runs SIMATIC WinCC flexible Autostart after you startup the PC.
SIMATIC WinCC flexible Autostart performs the following actions after the PC startup:
● Immediate search for a free License Key
● Assignment of a License Key

Installation
1.4 Licenses

However, the License Key on the license server cannot be used.

Possible problems
The request of a License Key from a license server may induce the following behavior, for
example:
The following situations may arise if one License Key is installed per Compact, Standard and
Advanced edition on the license server:
● The License Key is currently in use.
The License Key for WinCC flexible Advanced is available at the startup of the
Engineering PC. SIMATIC WinCC flexible Start Center sets the Advanced edition.
WinCC flexible is started on the engineering PC at a later time. The License Key for the
Advanced edition is being used in the meantime by a different engineering PC and is
therefore no longer available.
Result:
WinCC flexible Advanced edition starts without valid license.
● A free License Key is not assigned
The License Key for WinCC flexible Advanced is currently in use, and the License Key
forWinCC flexible Standard available at the startup of the engineering PC. The Standard
edition cannot be used to configure PC Runtime, for example.
SIMATIC WinCC flexible Start Center sets the Standard edition. WinCC flexible is started
on the engineering PC at a later time. However, although the License Key for the
Advanced edition has been released in the meantime, it has not been assigned.
Result:
The License Key for the Advanced edition is not going to be used although it is free.

Remedy
Take the following steps if the License Key for the required edition is not assigned:
1. Exit the WinCC flexible Engineering System.
2. Right-click the icon in the task bar notification area.
3. Click on "SIMATIC WinCC flexible Auto Start > Disable".
A red dot in the icon indicates the deactivated state.
4. Right-click the icon in the task bar notification area.
5. Click on "SIMATIC WinCC flexible Auto Start > Enable".
The red dot in the icon is cleared in activated state.
SIMATIC WinCC flexible Start Center searches for free License Keys on the license
server and assigns the highest free license.
6. Start the WinCC flexible Engineering System.
WinCC flexible starts with the license assigned to the corresponding edition.

1.4.6 Licensing of HMI devices

Non-PC-based HMI devices are always equipped with the maximum quantity structure. A
license key is not required for runtime operation.
A license is required for each option for non-PC-based HMI devices. The license key or the
authorization of the respective license enables in each case one option for use.

License key
To be able to license non-PC-based HMI devices with license keys you require the
"SIMATIC HMI License Manager Panel Plugin" add-on.
WinCC flexible setup installs this add-on as standard.
If WinCC flexible is not installed, an installation of ProSave 7.2 or higher is required.

Note
Further information about handling the licenses can be found in the Automation License
Manager help.

Note
License Keys are used a of version WinCC flexible 2005.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change free software--to ensure the software is free for all its users. This General
Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other
program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software
is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and
that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification

1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public

Installation guide
System Manual, 06/2008, Printout of the Online Help 59
Licenses and Open Source Software
3.2 License text of the GNU General Public License

License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this
License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and
the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is
true depends on what the Program does.
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a
work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under
the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at
no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print
or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, does not apply to
those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the
same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution
of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,
for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a

Installation guide
60 System Manual, 06/2008, Printout of the Online Help
 Licenses and Open Source Software
3.2 License text of the GNU General Public License

complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed

under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with
such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source
code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For
example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole
is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide

range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of

that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence
of the rest of this License.
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not
thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.
[Link] Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
[Link] you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
[Link] WARRANTY
[Link] THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE

INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the
public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
● <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C)
<year> <name of author>
● This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
● This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
● You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this
program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an
interactive mode:
● Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
● Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
● This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type
`show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other
than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits
your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to
sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the
names:
● Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
● `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
● <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
● Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

3.6 License text of the Common Public license

Common Public License Version 1.0

THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS
"Contribution" means:
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under
this Agreement, and
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
i) changes to the Program, and
ii) additions to the Program;
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by
that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the
Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf.
Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of
software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and
(ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily
infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all
Contributors.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-
exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works
of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

Installation guide
System Manual, 06/2008, Printout of the Online Help 67
Licenses and Open Source Software
3.6 License text of the Common Public license

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-
exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell,
offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in
source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the
Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor,
such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed
Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the
Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the
Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to
exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a
third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is
Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its
Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

3. REQUIREMENTS
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own
license agreement, provided that:
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
b) its license agreement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and
implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied
warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct,
indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor
alone and not by any other party; and
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs
licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used
for software exchange.
When the Program is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner
that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end
users, business partners and the like. While this license is

Installation guide
68 System Manual, 06/2008, Printout of the Online Help
 Licenses and Open Source Software
3.6 License text of the Common Public license

intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the
Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create
potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a
commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to
defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses,
damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by
the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of
the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to
any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In
order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and
cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement
negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own
expense.
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering,
Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor
then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those
performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone.
Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court
requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor
must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for
determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks
associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the
risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of
data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT
NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY
OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED
HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. GENERAL
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and
without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

3.7 License text of the zlib license

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent

applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent
licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against
any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program
itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such
Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the
material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a
reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's
rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the
Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this
Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and
survive.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid
inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following
manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including
revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward
has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may
assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity.
Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The
Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the
Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is
published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under
the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient
receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this
Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the
Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual
property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal
action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party
waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.

ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch,

sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA.
ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead
by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally,
that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file
ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part
of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than
the foregoing paragraphs do.

The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf.
It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable.
The same holds for its supporting scripts ([Link], [Link],
ltconfig, [Link]). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright
by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by
patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot

72 System Manual, 06/2008, Printout of the Online Help
 Licenses and Open Source Software
3.9 License text of the Info-ZIP license

legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason,
support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software.
(Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented
Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.)
So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining
code.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files.
To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has
been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce
"uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the
resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard
GIF decoders.

is redistribution of a standard UnZipSFX binary (including SFXWiz) as part of a self-

ports with new graphical interfaces, versions with modified or added functionality, and
dynamic, shared, or static library versions not from Info-ZIP--must be plainly marked as
such and must not be misrepresented as being the original source or, if binaries,
compiled from the original source. Such altered versions also must not be
misrepresented as being Info-ZIP releases--including, but not limited to, labeling of the
altered versions with the names "Info-ZIP" (or any variation thereof, including, but not
limited to, different capitalizations), "Pocket UnZip," "WiZ" or "MacZip" without the explicit
permission of Info-ZIP. Such altered versions are further prohibited from
misrepresentative use of the Zip-Bugs or Info-ZIP e-mail addresses or the Info-ZIP
URL(s), such as to imply Info-ZIP will provide support for the altered versions.
4. Info-ZIP retains the right to use the names "Info-ZIP," "Zip," "UnZip,""UnZipSFX," "WiZ,"
"Pocket UnZip," "Pocket Zip," and "MacZip" for its own source and binary releases.
