MetaVR Policy on Transferring a Software License

Transferring a software license from one machine to another in versions 5, 4, and 3 of VRSG and WorldPerfect is simple. You can install the MetaVR software product that you purchased on any number of systems that you own. Running the product on a particular machine requires the presence of the product’s dongle, as described in the MetaVR Product Installation Guide.

Version 2.x of VRSG used the Ethernet and MAC address for authentication and security. There are two possible ways to move the version 2.x license to another computer:

• Physically move the network card to the intended computer.
• Send MetaVR the network card with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) with the original purchase order number. We can replace the network card with a new one that has a new MAC address. If your network card is damaged, send MetaVR the network card with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) with the original purchase order number. We can replace the network card with a new one that has a new MAC address.

New unlock codes for version 2.9 cannot be provided without first supplying the original network card used for authentication. Specifically, MetaVR cannot supply a new unlock code for a new MAC address on verbal assurance that the previous unit will no longer be used to run MetaVR software.

Note that for limitations on permitted transfers of MetaVR software, the MetaVR’s end-user license agreement states:

Except as otherwise permitted by law, you may not transfer this Agreement or the Materials without the prior written permission of MetaVR except (i) in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of your assets or (ii) in the case where you are the initial licensee and are acting as a systems integrator either (x) under a government contract indicated on the purchase order for the Materials or (y) for an end user and the formal written price quote for the Materials explicitly refers to the systems being constructed and the intended end user or program operated by the intended end user. In the case of subparagraph (ii) above, the initial licensee may make a one-time permanent transfer of the Materials and this Agreement only directly to the government agency that is a party to the government contract or the end user described in the price quote. This transfer must include all of the Software and Materials (including all component parts, media and printed materials, any updates or upgrades and this License Agreement, provided, however, that if the price quote or purchase order so specifies, the initial licensee will retain primary responsibility for the payment of any Maintenance Fee specified therein. Such transfer may not be done by way of consignment or any other indirect transfer. The transferee of such one-time transfer must agree to comply with the terms of this License Agreement, including the obligation not to further transfer this License Agreement of the Materials. In the case that the initial licensee is acting as a systems integrator for an end user, such initial licensee may only use the Materials to develop, install and support the systems for the end user and not for any other purpose.
