Ownership of the Software

The enclosed software program (“SOFTWARE”) and the accompanying written materials are owned by FMS, Inc. or its suppliers and are protected by United States copyright laws, by laws of other nations, and by international treaties. You must treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted material except that you may make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archival purpose, and you may transfer the SOFTWARE to a permanent storage device.

Grant of License

Licensing is based on the number of installed copies of Total Access Startup. Each copy requires a separate license. One installation can be used to manage an unlimited number of databases called by an unlimited number of users on that network.

Use and Redistribution Rights

This SOFTWARE license is for one user only and includes a Runtime License granting limited redistribution rights. With the exception of the Redistributable Launcher (TASLnch.exe), no other files may be distributed.

The Redistributable Launcher (TASLnch.exe) ensures users who are not on your network launch the right version of Access with your database. It does not support updates of new versions of your database since the user is disconnected from your network.

The Runtime License gives you the non-exclusive, royalty-free right to incorporate Total Access Startup in your applications, provided that:

1. Each developer using the SOFTWARE owns a Runtime License.
2. Your application adds substantial value to the SOFTWARE and is not a standalone database launcher program.
3. Your application does not attempt to replicate the interactive user interface of the SOFTWARE.
4. Your application is not a freeware or shareware product.
5. You only distribute the Redistributable Launcher and no other files of the SOFTWARE.
