Essential FTIR License

This End User License Agreement (EULA) is a CONTRACT between you (either
an individual or a single entity) and Operant LLC, which covers your use of 
"Essential FTIR" and related software components.
All such software is referred to herein as the "Software Product." A software
license and a license key or serial number ("Software Product License"),
issued to a designated user only by Operant LLC or its authorized
agents, is required for each concurrent user of the Software Product. If
you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, then do not install or use
the Software Product or the Software Product License. By explicitly
accepting this EULA  you are acknowledging and agreeing to be bound
by the following terms:

1. EVALUATION LICENSE WARNING

This Software Product can be used in conjunction with a free evaluation
Software Product License. If you are using such an evaluation Software
Product License, you may use the Software Product only to evaluate its
suitability for purchase. Evaluation Software Product Licenses have an
expiration date and most of the features of the software will be disabled
after that date. Operant LLC BEARS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES
RESULTING FROM USE (OR ATTEMPTED USE AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE) OF THE
SOFTWARE PRODUCT, AND HAS NO DUTY TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT BEFORE OR AFTER
THE EXPIRATION DATE OF AN EVALUATION LICENSE.

2. GRANT OF NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE

Operant LLC grants the non-exclusive, non-transferable right for a
single user to use this Software Product on a single operating system per
license purchased. Each additional concurrent user of the Software
Product, or each additional operating system where the product is used,
requires an additional Software Product License.  

You may not modify, alter, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or 
emulate the functionality, reverse compile or otherwise reduce to human 
readable form, or create derivative works of the Software Product without 
the prior written consent of Operant LLC. 

You may make copies of the Software Product as reasonably necessary for
its use. Each copy must reproduce all copyright and other proprietary
rights notices on or in the Software Product.
You may install each Software Product License on a single computer system.
A second installation of the same Software Product License may be made
on one other computer system, so long as both copies of the same Software
Product License never come into concurrent use.  You may also make copies of
the Software Product License as necessary for backup and/or archival
purposes.  Backup and archival copies may not come into active use,
together with the Software Product, for any purpose.  No other copies
may be made.  Each copy must reproduce all copyright and other proprietary
rights notices on or in the Software Product License. You may not modify
or create derivative copies of the Software Product License.

All rights not expressly granted to you are retained by Operant LLC.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS RESERVED BY Operant LLC

The Software Product is owned by Operant LLC and is protected by United
States and international copyright laws and treaties, as well as other
intellectual property laws and treaties. You must not remove or alter any

Product copy is licensed, not sold. You may not use, copy, or distribute
the Software Product, except as granted by this EULA, without written
authorization from Operant LLC or its designated agents.  Furthermore,
this EULA does not grant you any rights in connection with any trademarks
or service marks of Operant LLC.  Operant LLC reserves all intellectual property

You hereby agree to indemnify Operant LLC against and hold harmless Operant LLC
from any claims, lawsuits or other losses that arise out of your breach of
any provision of this EULA.

of the Software Product.  Copies of these third party licenses are included 
in all copies of the Software Product.

7. SUPPORT SERVICES

provides to you as part of the support services, in periodic updates to
the Software Product or otherwise, is to be considered part of the
Software Product and is subject to the terms and conditions of this
EULA.

With respect to any technical information you provide to Operant LLC as
part of the support services, Operant LLC may use such information for
its business purposes without restriction, including for product support
and development.  Operant LLC will not use such technical information in
a form that personally identifies you without first obtaining your permission.

9. TERMINATION WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY OTHER RIGHTS
