1. DEFINITIONS
--------------
"Software"       MedICS and all accompanying binaries, libraries, resources,
                 documentation, and updates provided under this Agreement.

"License Token"  A unique alphanumeric API key issued by MedICS Team that
                 grants the right to activate and run the Software.

                 License Token and accepted this Agreement.

                 verifies License Tokens and issues signed license envelopes.


2. GRANT OF LICENSE
--------------------
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the continued validity of a License
Token, MedICS Team grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
revocable license to:

  a. Install and run the Software on the number of machines authorized by the
     License Token (as specified in the corresponding purchase order or plan).
  b. Use the Software solely for Licensee's internal business, research, or
     clinical purposes.
  c. Make a single archival backup copy of the Software.


3. LICENSE TOKEN REQUIREMENT
------------------------------
The Software enforces token-based activation.  The following conditions apply:

     at activation.  Running the Software on an unauthorized machine without
     re-activation is prohibited.
  c. License Tokens have a validity period defined at the time of purchase.
     Continued use after expiry requires renewal.

     sub-licensing, or transferring a License Token to any third party is
     strictly prohibited.
  e. Attempting to circumvent, spoof, forge, or disable the License Token
     validation mechanism constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and
     may be subject to legal action.


4. COMMERCIAL USE

  g. Use the Software in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations,
     including but not limited to data-protection and medical-device regulations.
