PROTECTION AGAINST COPYING - ACTIVATION KEY - VERIFICATION MEASURES
The PROGRAM may include a technological measure to protect it against copying in order to prevent any unauthorised reproduction. In accordance with the law, the USER must not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any protective measure against unauthorised copying.
Activating or running the PROGRAM beyond a certain period of time may require the entry of an activation key previously supplied to the USER. The USER recognises that the activation key is the PUBLISHER's exclusive property, that it is strictly confidential information and that, consequently, it must not be disclosed to third parties. The USER undertakes to implement all means available and to act in good faith in order to protect the confidentiality of the activation key.
As part of the measures for verifying the use of the activation keys, when an Internet connection is open the PROGRAM may test the validity of the key used for the PROGRAM on the site of the USER's computer. During this test, statistical information only is sent to the PUBLISHER: no nominative information and/or any information that is not directly related to the SOFTWARE activation key is sent to the PUBLISHER or to third parties.
