The licensor grants the licensee a world-wide, non-transferable and non-exclusive right to use the software on one system.
3.1.2 The demo version may be made to only work until a set date, or for a certain amount of days. This is solely to keep users from testing with severely outdated versions of the software. Users are free to keep downloading new versions, which will enable them to keep testing the software.

4.4 The licensee's name has to be entered in the exact same way that it was entered when buying the key during license key activation. The date of purchase also has to be entered. This data is saved locally on the user's machine in an encrypted state and is not uploaded to any servers by the software.
4.5 On start, and if manually asked to do so, the software will check the SkySketch server to learn what the latest version of the software is, so it can notify the user if an update is available. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
5. Validity
5.1 With newer versions of the software, there may be changes to the EULA. In such cases the newer EULA will override any previous EULAs and replaces all prior commitments and warranties.
5.2 If any part(s) of this EULA is declared invalid or otherwise not enforceable, this will not affect the rest of the contract, which will remain valid. In the event that any parts are declared invalid or otherwise not enforceable, the affected parts will be replaced by a new agreement that represents the original intentions as close as possible while staying valid.
5.3 This agreement falls under German law. Germany is the sole place of jurisdiction for this EULA, and for all matters related to it.
5. Infringement

5.4 All conduct of disputes, settlements, negotiations or proceedings in relation to such an event, in or out of court, is to be handled exclusively by the licensor and the licensee makes no agreements or admittance of liability to third parties unless previously agreed with the licensor.
