This License shall become valid only after the Licensee has given the Licensor written notification of the product or project in connection with which the License is to apply. If Gantt charts are passed on in several products or as the results of several projects, the Licensee shall purchase a separate Runtime License in connection with each of the products and/or projects concerned.

1 Supplementing the rights of use granted to the Licensee under the Development License, the Licensor grants the Licensee by means of this Runtime License the non-exclusive and, subject to the proviso set out in section 12 below, enduring right to pass on copies of the Software to end-customers, provided that such passing-on occurs only in conjunction with Gantt charts created by the Licensee through use of the Software in relation to a product or project notified in writing to the Licensor and subject to restriction of the use of the Software by the end-customer exclusively for utilizing the Gantt charts for the end-customer’s own purposes. Within these limits the end-customers shall be entitled, within their company or organization, to make the Software accessible to their staff, to install and use as many copies of the Software as they wish and to create the requisite copies of the Software for such use.
2 Any use of the Software by end-customers over and above that described in para. 1 is expressly prohibited, in particular any use of the Software to create or modify Gantt charts by end-customers themselves, or passing on the Software or copies thereof to third parties, the granting of access to the Software to third parties in any form whatsoever, in particular through networks, and any modification to the Software, with the exception of the right to eliminate errors, providing that such right is compulsorily granted to an end-customer under applicable law. In its agreements with end-customers, the Licensee is obliged to restrict their rights of use as stipulated in this section 3 and the other provisions of this Runtime License, in particular sections 4 and 6.

1 The License and the Licensee’s rights of use pertaining thereto may be transferred to third parties only on the basis of special prior agreement with the Licensor, and such agreement must ensure that the License is applicable in unchanged form and only for Gantt charts relating to that product or project for which the License was originally purchased by the Licensee and that the third party concerned possesses a valid Development License for the Software.
6. Decompilation.
1 Any decompilation of the Software, also when carried out by end-customers, is permitted only if (i) this is essential to achieve interoperability of the Software with independently created software, (ii) the information necessary for achieving interoperability was not made accessible by the Licensor within a reasonable period after receiving a written enquiry from the Licensee or the end-customer concerned, and (iii) it is restricted to such parts of the Software as are necessary for achieving interoperability.
2 The right pursuant to para. 1 does not allow the information obtained within the limits of the exercise thereof to be used for purposes other than the achievement of interoperability, or to be passed on to third parties, or to be used for the development, production or marketing of computer programs substantially similar in their expression to the Software, or for any other actions infringing the exclusivity rights of the Licensor in the Software.

In this case, any outstanding claims for remuneration on the part of the Licensor shall become due immediately, and shall be settled by the Licensee within 10 days.
