IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft software product identified above, which includes computer software and may include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation ("Product").  An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the Product.  YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE PRODUCT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE PRODUCT; YOU MAY RETURN IT TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A FULL REFUND.

 

The Product may contain the following software:

* "Server Software" provides services or functionality on your computer capable of running the Server Software ("Server");

* "Client Software" allows an electronic device ("Device") to access or utilize the Server Software. 

1.         GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

a. Installation--Server Software. You may install one copy of each Server Software component of the Product on a single Server. You may allocate the Server Software components of the Product among up to three Servers ("MultiServer Configuration") provided that (i) you use the BackOffice Server 2000 Setup feature to implement the MultiServer Configuration, (ii) each of the Servers in the MultiServer Configuration are geographically co-located and configured within the same Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory Organizational Unit, (iii) each of the Server Software components is only installed once in the MultiServer Configuration, and (iv) a separate Windows 2000 Server license is in place for each Server in the MultiServer Configuration (the Product contains only a single license for Windows 2000 Server).    Client Software.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2 below, you may install the Client Software on any Device.  a.

b.         Client Access License ("CAL") Requirements. 

(i) General.  Except as otherwise provided below, you must acquire CALs in order to access or otherwise utilize the services or functionality of the Server Software, whether you use the Client Software or any other software to do so.  BackOffice Server 2000 CALs authorize access and use of each of the Server Software components of the Product that require a CAL.  You may also access and use individual Server Software components of the Product by acquiring CALs for those individual Server Software components.     

(ii) Mode of Deployment.  You may deploy CALs for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server in either "Per Seat" or "Per Server" mode.  CALs for Microsoft BackOffice Server 2000, Exchange 2000 Server, Host Integration Server 2000, Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000, SQL Server 2000 and Systems Management Server 2.0 may only be deployed in "Per Seat" mode. 

In "Per Seat" mode, you need a separate CAL for each unique Device that accesses or utilizes the Server Software.  If you choose "Per Seat" mode, your choice is permanent.   

In "Per Server" mode, the maximum number of Devices which may access or utilize the Server Software at a given point is equal to the number of CALs that you acquire and designate for use exclusively with that Server.  "Per Seat" mode CALs may also access Server Software running in the Per Server Mode, provided the additional access is within that Server's maximum licensed capacity.  You also have the one-time right to change your deployment of a "Per Server" mode CAL to "Per Seat" mode, but then this choice is permanent.     

(iii) Version Matching.  Any CAL must have the same version number as or later version number than the corresponding version number of the Server Software being used.

(iv) Administration.  You do not need a CAL for administration of the Server Software (including remote administration), for up to two connections to the Server.

 c.         Other Licenses. Your use of software applications installed on the Server, or accessed through the Server Software may require additional licenses -- please consult the license agreement accompanying such software.

d.         Downgrades.  Instead of installing and using a particular Server Software component of the Product, you may install and use one copy of an earlier version of that particular Server Software component of the Product on a single Server.  Your use of such earlier version shall be governed by this EULA, and your rights to use such earlier version shall terminate when you install the particular Server Software component of the Product.

e.         Dual Media.      You may receive the software for the Product in more than one medium.  Regardless of the number of media you receive, you are only authorized to use one medium to install and use the Product as provided for in this EULA, and you may not loan, rent, lease or otherwise transfer the remaining media, except as part of the permanent transfer of the entirety of the Product as set forth in Section 6 below. 

f.          Performance or Benchmark Testing.  You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of either the Server Software or Client Software for SQL 2000 Server or Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 to any third party without Microsoft's prior written approval.

Si vous avez acquis votre produit Microsoft au CANADA, la garantie limitée suivante vous concerne :

GARANTIE LIMITÉE

Microsoft garantit que le Produit fonctionnera conformément aux documents inclus pendant une période de 90 jours suivant la date de réception.

Si une garantie ou condition implicite est créée par votre État ou votre territoire et qu'une loi fédérale ou provinciale ou État en interdit le déni, vous jouissez également d'une garantie ou condition implicite, MAIS UNIQUEMENT POUR LES DÉFAUTS DÉCOUVERTS DURANT LA PÉRIODE DE LA PRÉSENTE GARANTIE LIMITÉE (QUATRE-VINGT-DIX JOURS). IL N'Y A AUCUNE GARANTIE OU CONDITION DE QUELQUE NATURE QUE CE SOIT QUANT AUX DÉFAUTS DÉCOUVERTS APRÈS CETTE PÉRIODE DE QUATRE-VINGT-DIX JOURS. Certains États ou territoires ne permettent pas de limiter la durée d'une garantie ou condition implicite de sorte que la limitation ci­dessus peut ne pas s'appliquer à vous.

Tous les suppléments ou toutes les mises à jour relatifs au Produit, notamment, les ensembles de services ou les réparations à chaud (le cas échéant) qui vous sont fournis après l'expiration de la période de quatre-vingt-dix jours de la garantie limitée ne sont pas couverts par quelque garantie ou condition que ce soit, expresse ou implicite.

LIMITATION DES RECOURS; ABSENCE DE DOMMAGES INDIRECTS OU AUTRES. Votre recours exclusif pour toute violation de la présente garantie limitée est décrit ci­après. Sauf pour tout remboursement au choix de Microsoft, si le Produit ne respecte pas la garantie limitée de Microsoft et, dans la mesure maximale permise par les lois applicables, même si tout recours n'atteint pas son but essentiel, VOUS N'AVEZ DROIT À AUCUNS DOMMAGES, NOTAMMENT DES DOMMAGES INDIRECTS. Les modalités de la clause "Exclusion des dommages accessoires, indirects et de certains autres dommages " sont également intégrées à la présente garantie limitée. Certains États ou territoires ne permettent pas l'exclusion ou la limitation des dommages indirects ou accessoires de sorte que la limitation ou l'exclusion ci­dessus peut ne pas s'appliquer à vous. La présente garantie limitée vous donne des droits légaux spécifiques. Vous pouvez avoir d'autres droits qui peuvent varier d'un territoire ou d'un État à un autre. VOTRE RECOURS EXCLUSIF. L'obligation intégrale de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs et votre recours exclusif seront, selon le choix de Microsoft de temps à autre sous réserve de toute loi applicable, a) le remboursement du prix payé, le cas échéant, pour le Produit ou b) la réparation ou le remplacement du Produit qui ne respecte pas la présente garantie limitée et qui est retourné à Microsoft avec une copie de votre reçu. Vous recevrez la compensation choisie par Microsoft, sans frais, sauf que vous êtes responsable des dépenses que vous pourriez engager (p. ex., les frais d'envoi du Produit à Microsoft). La présente garantie limitée est nulle si la défectuosité du Produit est causée par un accident, un usage abusif, une mauvaise application, un usage anormal ou un virus. Tout Produit de remplacement sera garanti pour le reste de la période de garantie initiale ou pendant trente (30) jours, selon la plus longue entre ces deux périodes. À l'extérieur des États-Unis ou du Canada, ces recours ou l'un quelconque des services de soutien technique offerts par Microsoft ne sont pas disponibles sans preuve d'achat d'une source internationale autorisée. Pour exercer votre recours, vous devez communiquer avec Microsoft et vous adresser au Microsoft Sales Information Center/One Microsoft Way/Redmond, WA 98052-6399, ou à la filiale de Microsoft de votre pays.

DÉNI DE GARANTIES. La garantie limitée mentionnée ci-dessus constitue la seule garantie expresse qui vous est donnée et remplace toutes autres garanties expresses (s'il en est) mentionnées dans un document ou sur un emballage.
