Appendix 1         

Scope of License

Appendix 1 outlines the scope of the license grant for all software products available for licensing. Which products are included in the license acquired by customer is determined in the actual agreement between the parties (e.g. accepted offer or accepted purchase order). This list serves as a comprehensive guide to what is available for licensing

 

DOTS Software License:

 

DOTS Software, including all its services and routines setups of any software
               firmware binaries
               firmware update tools
               example data
               user guides and any other documentation (API, App Notes, etc.)

The DOTS Software allows users to manage, review and analyze data. By itself the DOTS Software license does not enable the customer to obtain data from any external devices. Such functionality will require a separate application license..

 

Application Subscription Licenses:

In the DOTS Software users can choose from a broad variety of applications (e.g. biomass monitoring for shake flasks or automated feeding in shake flasks). To run such applications with the DOTS software, users will need the respective application license(s) and hardware device type(s). Each application license can only be used by one hardware device at a time. Running the same application multiple times in parallel, hence requires the respective number of application license(s) and hardware device type(s). Each application subscription license incl. access to the latest version of the DOTS Software during the time of subscription.

 

As an alternative to the described Application Subscription Licenses in this EULA, there is also a separate Perpetual Application License portfolio with a separate EULA.
