Multiplexing software Clause Samples
The "Multiplexing software" clause defines the terms under which software that enables multiple users or devices to access or use a single software license is addressed in an agreement. Typically, this clause clarifies whether such multiplexing is permitted, and if so, under what conditions, such as requiring additional licenses for each user or device that indirectly accesses the software. For example, if a company uses a server to allow several employees to access a licensed application, this clause would specify if each employee needs a separate license. The core function of this clause is to prevent unauthorized or unintended expansion of software use beyond the scope of the original license, ensuring compliance and proper licensing fees.
Multiplexing software. The use of one or more external tools, including multiplexors or replicators, to reduce the number of users directly connected to the Licensed Software shall not exempt Licensee from acquiring licenses for all users. For example, use of multiplexing or connection pooling software or hardware to reduce the number of users directly connected to the Licensed Software, the number of Named Users or Concurrent Users within Licensee’s organization using the Licensed Software shall be measured as the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or connection pooling front end and Licensee shall purchase the equivalent number of Named User or Concurrent User Licenses. If Licensee uses replicator software, Licensee may not use the Licensed Software or share licenses in any way not explicitly provided for in this License Agreement. (ii) APIs: Any user of any third party application that calls any Licensed Software application programming interfaces (“Product APIs”) must have a valid license to connect to the Licensed Software. Licensee shall not, and shall not allow others, to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Product APIs. Commercial distribution of any products that include Product APIs requires a separate distribution license and such license is not granted by this License Agreement. (iii) TeamInspector: TeamInspector is licensed on a Named User basis only.
