Please read the following regulations carefully before you install the software.
This license agreement is valid for the usage of the SB-AW software product 'VersionBackup Server' and the combination of 'VersionBackup Server' and 'VersionBackup Client'. Furthermore, it is valid for the usage of 'VersionBackup Master' if it is run with a 'VersionBackup Server' license. In the following text, all different VersionBackup issues are shortly denoted as 'software'.
If you did not conclude a different license agreement with SB-AW, you declare your agreement with the regulations fixed in this document, when you install or use VersionBackup, perform the Product Activation or pass it to anyone else.
If you disagree to one of the regulations, which are fixed here,
- you may not install the software, nor use it nor pass it to any other person or institution and
- if you already paid the license fee, you can claim a refund of that fee, if you did not have started the operation with this license. Further claims are excluded.
In such a case, any operation of the software with your Register Number is prohibited. This is valid for any circumstance, any user and any computer, even for test purposes. Such an unauthorized operation with your Register Number will be a justification for legal actions by SB-AW.
License:
One license for 'VersionBackup Server' may be used to run the ' VersionBackup Server'- or 'VersionBackup Master' software on one computer only. Therefore, it generally is prohibited to enter the same Register Number on different computers. Exception: If due to a special agreement between SB-AW and a customer, a volume license has been assigned, the customer may run a fixed number of computers with the same Register Number.
If you will use 'VersionBackup Client' on several computers in a network, you must purchase a 'VersionBackup Client' license for each computer, where 'VersionBackup Client' shall be started. It is not permitted running a bigger number of workstations with a smaller number of licenses, alternately changing the license assignment to those workstations, which shall be used for the next time.
'VersionBackup Client' may only be used in combination with 'VersionBackup Server'. You may use any number of Clients together with one Server, if you have a Client License for each of them. But this is only valid as long as there will not appear any technical problems due to the big number of Clients.
If you use ' VersionBackup Master' instead of ' VersionBackup Server', you renounce the additional features of 'VersionBackup Server'. This will not induce any claim for a refund of parts of the license fee.
You may use VersionBackup free and without a Product Activation for a limited period for test purposes. This test period ends 30 days after the first operation of 'VersionBackup Server'.
After this, a Product Activation is mandatory. During the Product Activation, the Register Number has to be entered into the system. The Product Activation has to be done on the computer, where 'VersionBackup Server' or ' VersionBackup Master' will be used. Running this software on a different computer with the same server license is not allowed.
You undertake to keep your Register Number confidential, so no one but you will be able to activate 'VersionBackup Server' with your Register Number. If it becomes known, that a 'VersionBackup Server' copy runs elsewhere with your Register Number, SB-AW is entitled to claim damages.
Furthermore, you may not modify this software or distribute only parts of it, nor may you permit anyone else to do this.
SB-AW and its licensors shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to the software and all copies or portions of it. All rights in the Software not specifically granted in this agreement are reserved by SB-AW and its licensors.

Technical Support:
SB-AW assures free support when you have technical questions or problems. This free support is limited to two years after the date of the license purchase. To make use of this support, you will send your question by e-mail to the appropriate address. The answer will be given by e-mail according to the current state of knowledge. Your support claim ends, if there is no solution available with the current knowledge.
Any support claim will end when the effort for the already given support is higher than the total license fee, which you paid for the corresponding software issue. This is valid even if any harm occurred to you due to a fault caused by SB-AW (see chapter "Liability").
Further restrictions for the support: Your question must relate to the operation mode and functionality of the software, as it has been designed by SB-AW. Your question must relate to computers, which are run with one of your licenses. For the support answer, only the information about the newest version of the software, released by SB-AW, will be considered.
Further support claims do not exist if they have not been arranged in a separate support contract.
