AGREEMENT COMPLETELY BEFORE USING THIS BETA SOFTWARE.
BY CLICKING ON THE BUTTON MARKED “YES” BELOW OR BY CONTINUING
TO USE THIS BETA SOFTWARE, YOU (EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A SINGLE
ENTITY) INDICATE YOUR INTENTION TO BE BOUND BY AND ACCEPT THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS BETA TEST LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS YOU MAY NOT
ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THIS BETA SOFTWARE AND WILL IN FACT BE
PROHIBITED FROM DOING SO. THIS COMPUTER BETA SOFTWARE MAY BE
USED ONLY PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH
BELOW, AND SOLELY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ACCOMPANYING
SECURITY MECHANISM WHICH MUST BE PRESENT ON YOUR COMPUTER

Trial License
CNC Software, Inc. (“CNC”) a Connecticut corporation with its principal place of
business at 671 Old Post Rd., Tolland, Connecticut, 06084 hereby grants to you a non-
exclusive, non-transferable, revocable at will by CNC, trial license (the “Trial License”),
to use (and if applicable, to permit your authorized employees to use), at no cost and
solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Beta Test License Agreement,
this pre-commercial release software program (the “Beta Program”) and any
accompanying documentation (the “Documentation”) solely in conjunction with the
accompanying hardware or software device, method, scheme or other security measure
provided by CNC which allows a user to access the Beta Program and prevents
unauthorized access to the Beta Program (the “Security Mechanism”). (The Beta
Program, any updates to the Beta Program, and the Documentation shall hereinafter
collectively be referred to as the “Beta Software”). Use of the Beta Software shall begin
on the date of installation and shall end when terminated in accordance with the
termination provisions of this Beta Test License Agreement (the “Trial Period”). This
Trial License granted hereunder permits you to use only this Beta Software and does not
entitle you to evaluate any future “Beta” version of any other CNC software.

Restrictions
You may not use the Beta Program without a Security Mechanism provided by CNC or
CNC’s suppliers. When CNC or CNC’s suppliers provide you with a single-user Security
Mechanism, the Beta Program may only be used (in executable code form only) on a
single computer to which the Security Mechanism is directly attached. In the event CNC
or CNC’s suppliers provide you with a multiple-user Security Mechanism for use over an
internal network (a “Network Security Mechanism”), the Beta Program may be used: (a)
in executable code form only; (b) only on end-user computers that are connected to the
internal network to which the Network Security Mechanism is attached; and (c) only by

BETA LICENSE • 18 September 2001 • Page 1 of 1


the number of users and accessed by the number of end-user computers for which
licenses were purchased and as further allowed by the Network Security Mechanism.
You may physically transfer the Beta Program from one computer equipped with a
single-user Security Mechanism to another only if the Security Mechanism is included in
the transfer and is installed with the new computer.

You shall not:


(a) copy (except as provided below), adapt, modify the Beta Software; (b) publish,
display, disclose or create a derivative work from the Beta Software or any part thereof;
(c) de-compile or translate, disassemble, create or attempt to create, by reverse
engineering or otherwise, the source code form of the Beta Program from the executable
code of the Beta Program; (d) remove any proprietary notices, labels or marks from the
Beta Software; (e) rent, lease, distribute or transfer all or any part of the Beta Software to
any person or entity without the prior written consent of CNC; (f) use the Beta Software
to provide outsourcing, service bureau, time sharing or other services to any third party;
or (g) sublicense, assign, delegate or otherwise transfer your rights in the Beta Software,
under the Beta Test License Agreement or any of the related rights or obligations for any
reason without the prior written consent of CNC. You shall not circumvent, bypass,
modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, disable, alter, enhance or replicate the function of
the Security Mechanism in any manner whatsoever. Any attempt to do so shall result in
automatic termination of this Trial License without prejudice to all other legal rights and
remedies of CNC.

Your Trial Period Obligations

In consideration for participating in the evaluation, testing and development of the Beta
Software, during the Trial Period, you shall: (a) allow CNC (or its suppliers) to visit the
premises at which the Beta Program is installed during regular business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice to you to assist with the installation of the Beta Program and
periodically thereafter for troubleshooting testing and maintenance; (b) appoint an
individual as the contact coordinator in order to coordinate the collection of information
concerning use of the Beta Software and to respond to questions from CNC; (c) provide a
proper operating environment and hardware for the Beta Program as specified by CNC;
(d) provide troubleshooting, debugging, and maintenance assistance (such as system
backup and program module replacement) according to CNC’s request and detailed
instructions; (e) monitor its use of the Beta Program and communicate its observations
and problems regarding the Beta Program (including errors, failures, unconforming
results, and unexpected performances) in writing to CNC on a regular basis; (f) install, as
soon as practical, all fixes, releases, and updates to the Beta Software delivered to you;
and (g) provide to CNC such further documentation and assistance as may reasonably be
