    though Licensee is obligated to ensure all use of
    Products comply with Standard License Agreement

Topic License Checkouts
  • Licensee can temporarily move product licenses to
    a mobile platform and use it as a license
    server
  • Can be done by licensee with no need to contact
    Segue
  • Originally created to allow SilkTest users to
    write scripts while at home, offline from the
    company network
  • Potential for abuse by people checking out
    licenses to perform for service load testing
  • Continue to provide this capability but clearly
    identify terms of use internal use only, not to
    be used for Commercial service
  • If Commercial Use is desired, must originally
    purchase a Commercial Use license
