FAQ - CineSat Licenses

Current broadband WAN technology, high-speed Internet connections, and new computer and network technologies make it necessary to clearly define the term “Use” of the Software:

Whenever you display or process data with the help of the Product’s Software at a certain place or terminal, you are working with and using the software at this place and therefore require a license to do so – independently from where the Software is actually installed and where the Software is actually being executed. This means that you need a license for all computers and
geographical areas where the Software is

• installed, and/or executed
• where data are being processed with the Product’s software, and
• where data are being displayed to a user with the Product’s user interface

E.g. if you have obtained a site license for location A, all users who log in from another location B to display the Product’s graphical interface at their remote location B require at least a client license –even if the full Product is physically running in the licensed area A and even if only the monitor signal is being transmitted to the working area B. This is because the software is actually
being worked with and used at location B.

A site is a geographical location of your company with a single address, e.g. the headquarter or a remote subsidiary. The term “address” here means the place you would direct the firefighters to in case of an emergency, and NOT a collective postal address from where you internally distribute mail to other destination locations.

The term Site may not be “extended” to other geographical locations by connecting them by a network or organizational means.

With a SITE LICENSE you may install and use any number of copies of the Product at a single site. If you wish to use the Product concurrently at different sites of Your Organization –i.e. if you process or display data with the help of the Product at another location –you will need additional client licenses, or an additional license for each site, or a corporate license.

See the definition of Site and Use above.

With a CORPORATE COUNTRY LICENSE you may install and use any number of copies of the Product at any number of sites within Your Organisation and its legal branches, as long as they are situated in the same country.

With a CORPORATE LICENSE you may install and use any number of copies of the Product world-wide at any number of sites within Your Organisation and its legal branches.

With a GOVERNMENT LICENSE ministries can make the Product available to all interested public/governmental institutions in their country, e.g. National Weather Service, military weather service, airports, universities. A GOVERNMENT LICENSE does not permit the use at private companies and commercial weather services.
