  1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This Agreement grants you the following rights:
    1. EVALUATION USE. You may install, use, access, display, run, or otherwise interact with ("RUN") one copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on one (1) computer ("COMPUTER") solely for the purpose of determining whether the SOFTWARE PRODUCT meets your requirements. You may RUN the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for evaluation use only if you are: (1) an owner or manager of a dairy herd and you are considering using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in the management of your herd, (2) a Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) manager or technician considering using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in your DHIA operation, (3) a consultant considering using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to analyze the dairy records of your clients, or (4) a student or educator using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for educational purposes only.

You may not use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to perform data processing functions for any other individual or entity by acting as a service bureau, processing center, or otherwise during the 30 day Trial Period.
    2. NON-EVALUATION ("FULL") USE. If, and only if, you have acquired from Amelicor a full (non-evaluation) license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, Amelicor grants to you a nonexclusive license to make and use copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for the sole purpose of managing your own herd(s) (defined as a herd of which you are at least a 50% owner).  Use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for any other purpose or by any other person, including but not limited to consultants using it to analyze dairy records, requires a separate agreement with Amelicor.  You may not use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to perform data processing functions for any other individual or entity by acting as a service bureau, processing center, or otherwise.  Unless otherwise authorized by Amelicor, you may install the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on not more than one (1) computer at any one time.

A license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.
    4. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to Amelicor.
  2. LICENSE FEES; EVALUATION PERIOD.  Amelicor may, in its sole discretion, elect to furnish the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to you free of charge for use during an evaluation period.  If you desire to continue using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT following any such evaluation period, you must pay Amelicor's then-prevailing license fees.  Otherwise, this Agreement will automatically terminate as of the expiration of the evaluation period, and the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may include programming to prevent further use thereof.
  3.
