License Code Disclaimer
During installation, an Internet connection is required on the machine where the product is being installed. Only the serial number and a unique product ID provided by the installation program is sent to our servers. Alternatively, if necessary, this information could be submitted from another computer that is connected to the Internet.
The information is encrypted using the standard RSA Public/Private key methodology. For security reasons, we do not copy the private key onto the client machine; instead it resides on our servers and thus the need for an Internet connection to obtain a code to complete the install of the software.
Our installation does not scan your hard drive or gather any personal information from your computer; therefore, no privacy issues should be of concern to you. Customers are still encouraged to register the product using the traditional and voluntary web site registration form.
The installation process should be simple and unobtrusive for all customers. Our goal is to prevent installation of serial numbers that have been obtained from fraudulent purchases, returned products, expired programs and other suspicious means.

Also, "Production Server Components" are provided to enable services on a computer called a server, and finally "Redistributable Code" allows client computers or workstations to access or utilize the services provided by the software.

(b) Use of Design-time Components. The "Design-time Components" are licensed on a per seat basis. Per-seat licenses are licenses that are counted by all the machines on which any "Designer Component" will reside on. To use a per-seat license, every machine installing, running and/or using the software for development purposes must have a licensed copy and its appropriate license. A development seat license is required for each additional computer on which you will be installing and running any of the "Design-time Components". "Design-time Components" are accompanied by a server portion labeled and licensed as a "Test/Development Server", you may use the "Test/Development Server" software for the sole purpose of designing, developing and testing your product(s).

A Production Server license is required for each additional computer on which you will be installing and running any of the "Production Server Components"
