central processing units as Customer may have paid Cisco the required license fee; and
Customer's use of the Software shall also be limited as applicable to the number of issued and outstanding IP addresses, central processing unit performance, number of ports, and
any other restrictions set forth in Cisco's product catalog for the Software.
NOTE: For evaluation or beta copies for which Cisco does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay a license fee does not apply.
General Limitations. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to: (i) transfer, assign or sublicense
its license rights to any other person, or use the Software on unauthorized or secondhand Cisco equipment, and any such attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense shall be void; (ii)
make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software, or to permit third parties to do the same; or (iii) decompile, decrypt,
reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to human-readable form to gain access to trade secrets or confidential information in the Software. To the extent required
by law, at Customer's request, Cisco shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created
program, on payment of Cisco's applicable fee. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information.

fixes or modified versions (collectively, "Upgrades") or backup copies of the Software licensed or provided to Customer by Cisco or an authorized distributor for which Customer has paid
the applicable license fees. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS NO LICENSE OR RIGHT TO USE ANY SUCH
ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES UNLESS CUSTOMER, AT THE TIME OF ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE, ALREADY HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO THE
ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE APPLICABLE FEE FOR THE UPGRADE; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO CISCO EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH CUSTOMER
IS THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR LESSEE OR WHO OTHERWISE HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS BEING UPGRADED; AND
(3) USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS LIMITED TO BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY.
Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that
such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or duplicates or any
Software without the prior written permission of Cisco. Customer may make such backup copies of the Software as may be necessary for Customer's lawful use, provided Customer affixes
to such copies all copyright, confidentiality, and proprietary notices that appear on the original.
Protection of Information. Customer agrees that aspects of the Software and associated documentation, including the specific design and structure of individual programs, constitute trade
secrets and/or copyrighted material of Cisco. Customer shall not disclose, provide, or otherwise make available such trade secrets or copyrighted material in any form to any third party
without the prior written consent of Cisco. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets and copyrighted material. Title to Software and

Agreement, the Software is provided AS IS. Cisco does not warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions.
