Common use of Back-up Copies Clause in Contracts

Back-up Copies. The Licensee may make back-up copies of the Software in machine executable code form, only to be used in the event and to the extent that the copy of the Software received from IAR Systems fails to function, is lost, damaged, or destroyed. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, (a) the Licensee will not make any other copies of the Software and will not allow, authorize, or assist others to copy any part or all of the Software in any form without the prior written approval of IAR Systems, and (b) the Licensee will not make any more copies than are necessary to form part of a reasonable back-up cycle for the Licensee. Back-up copies of the Software may be kept by the Licensee in a bank deposit or other such secure place as is normally used by the Licensee for storage of its computer program back-ups. The rights for the Licensee under this section shall not in any case include any measures to affect or decrease the function of the software protection included in the Software.
