6. Export and Import Restrictions. The Program may contain cryptography. Transfer to, or use by, users of the Program may be prohibited or subject to export or import laws, regulations or policies, including those of the United States Export Administration Regulations. You assume all responsibility for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies regarding the export, import, or use of the Program, including but not limited to, U.S. restrictions on exports or reexports. To obtain the export classification of this Program refer to: https://www.ibm.com/products/exporting/.
7. Restrictions on Use for the Benefit of a Third Party. You may not use the Program or any component thereof to provide service bureau, hosting services, or any sort of commercial information technology services to third parties, or transfer the Program to a third party, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by IBM.
8. Authorized User. Authorized User is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the Program. The Program may be installed on any number of computers or servers and each Authorized User may have simultaneous access to any number of instances of the Program at one time. You must obtain separate, dedicated entitlements for each Authorized User given access to the Program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example: via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique to that Authorized User and may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned other than for the permanent transfer of the Authorized User entitlement to another person.
9. Processor Value Unit (PVU). Processor Value Unit (PVU) is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor technology (defined within the PVU Table by Processor Vendor, Brand, Type and Model Number at http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/pvu_licensing_for_customers.html) and the number of processors made available to the Program. IBM continues to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has two processor cores.
You can deploy the Program using either Full Capacity licensing or Virtualization Capacity (Sub-Capacity) licensing according to the Passport Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (see webpage below). If using Full Capacity licensing, you must obtain PVU entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores* in the physical hardware environment made available to or managed by the Program, except for those servers from which the Program has been permanently removed. If using Virtualization Capacity licensing, you must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores made available to or managed by the Program, as defined according to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/Counting_Software_licenses_using_specific_virtualization_technologies.html.
* An Activated processor core is a processor core that is available for use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar restrictions.
10. General Charge Terms. Processor (not available to new licensees or under the IBM International Passport Advantage or Passport Advantage Express Agreements)
Processor is a unit of measure by which the Program can be licensed. Processor (commonly called a processor core or CPU) is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic or logic units. With multi-core technology, each core is considered a processor. With full capacity licensing, an entitlement must be acquired for all activated processor cores available for use on the server.
11. Program-unique Terms. Each person who is provided Active Report outputs or personalized reports is a user of the Program and must be covered by an entitlement to an appropriate user role.

13. Supporting Program Details.
IBM Connections
- Use Limitations: Unrestricted
IBM DB2 Workgroup Server Edition
- Entitlement: Ratio 1/1
- Use Limitations: Use by Principal Program
"Ratio n/m" means that you receive some number ('n') entitlements for the Supporting Program for every specified number ('m') entitlements of the Program as a whole. Unless otherwise specified, the number of entitlements for the Supporting Program is rounded up to a multiple of 'n'. For example, if a Program includes 100 PVUs for a Supporting Program for every 500 PVUs obtained of the Program and you acquire 1,200 PVUs of the Program, you may install the Supporting Program and have processor cores available to or managed by it of up to 300 PVUs. Those PVUs would not need to be counted as part of the total PVU requirement for your installation of the Program on account of the installation of the Supporting Program (although those PVUs might need to be counted for other reasons, such as the processor cores being made available to the Program, as well).
"Use by Program" means that the Supporting Program is provided exclusively for use by the Program. Neither you nor any application, program or device is authorized to directly use or access the services of the Supporting Program except you may access the Supporting Program to perform administrative functions for the Supporting Program such as backup, recovery and authorized configuration
"Unrestricted" means that, notwithstanding the language above, your right to use the Supporting Program is not limited to use only in support of your use of the Program. While the other restrictions on your use of the Supporting Program continue to apply, you may use the Supporting Program for purposes independent of the licensed use of the Program.
14. You must comply with any other terms contained in the licensing files, including NOTICES files, which accompany or are included in the Program.
