Common use of Network Usage Clause in Contracts

Network Usage. Licensee understands and agrees that HGST may use Licensee’s internal network and Internet connection for the limited purpose of transmitting license-related data at the time of installation, registration, use or update of Software to a HGST-operated license server. At such time, HGST may validate the license-related data in order to protect HGST against unlicensed or illegal use of the Software. HGST may, at its option, only permit activation of the Software upon exchange of license related data between Licensee’s computer and the HGST license server. Some Software may have license verification mechanisms that do not require the use of Licensee’s internal network and Internet connection, and HGST shall not use Licensee’s network or Internet connection for such Software.
