• You may freely distribute copies of the evaluation version of the software, in its original format, so long as you do not charge more than a nominal fee to cover the cost of materials or distribution. You may not in any way change the original distribution file, except to package it within another archive if necessary.

You may not separately publish, sell, market, distribute, lend, lease, rent, or sublicense the software. However, this license is not to be construed as prohibiting or limiting any fair use sanctioned by copyright law, such as permitted library and classroom usage or reverse engineering. Please help us avoid the need for software protection by respecting the major investment of time and money that goes into developing quality software for you.

Limited warranty

• We warrant that the software will provide the features and functions generally described in the product specification on our website when you downloaded it and in the product documentation.
