Virtualized Environment Clause Samples
The Virtualized Environment clause defines the terms under which software or services may be used within a virtualized computing environment, such as cloud platforms or virtual machines. It typically outlines any restrictions, requirements, or additional licensing considerations that apply when deploying the product in such settings, for example, specifying whether separate licenses are needed for each virtual instance or if certain features are limited in virtualized use. This clause ensures both parties understand how the software can be legally and technically utilized in modern IT infrastructures, addressing potential ambiguities and compliance issues related to virtualization.
Virtualized Environment. The terms of this section apply only to Products licensed under a Core license model. Notwithstanding anything in the EULA to the contrary, you may install and use the Product(s) in a virtual machine environment, provided however, that you must not allow more than the number of applicable licensed Cores to be allocated to each Product via the virtual machine technology. The applicable licensed Cores will be the number of Cores that you are licensed to install and use each Product as specified in the Order. Any allocation of any portion of a Core's processing ability to the Product will constitute one Core toward the virtual machine environment licensed hereunder. You will be responsible for allocating the Cores to the Product(s) in a manner to ensure compliance with this restriction. Use of the Product(s) in any configuration or environment (including, without limitation, dynamic virtualization where additional Cores could be allocated to the Product(s) at peak load times) that at any time exceeds the restrictions set forth above is strictly prohibited, and requires the purchase of additional licenses.
