USE IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
If the profiler is installed in a virtual environment such as a container or a full virtual machine, and such virtual environment allows for multiple instantiations (running copies), the profiler must be activated with a floating license, and the floating license activation must not be locked, so that each time the profiler runs it must obtain a license from the license server. You may not use any other license flavor e.g. a seat license or lock a floating license in such environment.
A seat license can be used instead of the floating license to activate the profiler in a virtual machine only if there exists only one copy of the machine per licensed seat. You may make a copy of the machine for archival purposes, but you may not clone the machine and/or run multiple instances of it.
RESTRICTED USE DURING EVALUATION PERIOD
You have a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to load and execute the unregistered copy of Software for a period of fifteen (15) days. (the "Evaluation Period")
The unregistered copy of Software may be used for evaluation and testing purposes only and not for general commercial use.
You must pay a license fee for the Software to obtain the right to use the Software for general commercial use and(or) for unlimited period.
The unregistered copy of Software contains a feature that will automatically disable the Software in fifteen (15) days after sending the evaluation key to You. If You agree to this YourKit License Agreement and pay the license fee, YourKit will deactivate this feature. YourKit will have no liability to You if the Software is disabled by this feature. You may not disable, destroy, or remove this feature of the Software, and any attempt to do so will terminate your license and rights under this Agreement.
RESTRICTED USE OF EARLY ACCESS SOFTWARE
YourKit Early Access Program (EAP) is the easiest way to get in touch with the latest technologies from YourKit. Within the EAP You can get an early access to new products and internal builds of future versions of YourKit software ("Early Access Software").
NOTE: EARLY ACCESS SOFTWARE IS A PREVIEW SOFTWARE AIMED AT PROVIDING YOU WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THE NEWEST FEATURES SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT MAJOR RELEASE. YOURKIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS SOFTWARE WILL RUN TROUBLE-FREE. USING THIS SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO ANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
You have a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to load and execute a copy of the Early Access Software for a limited period of time. You must immediately cease using the Early Access Software and delete all its copies as soon as one of the following conditions is met, whichever comes first:
(i) the Early Access Program for this Software version is over;
this usually, but not necessarily, implies that an official release is made available;
(ii) more than 90 days have passed since the date of particular Early Access Software
build release date and a newer Early Access build is available;
(iii) the Early Access Software may contain a feature that automatically disables the Software
after some period of time, without any prior notice;

RESTRICTED USE ON SOME PLATFORMS
The Software may be used on any supported platform with the restriction described below. There are so-called advanced platforms, which include AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux on PPC, Solaris. The results obtained on an advanced platform may be analyzed (i.e. a snapshot of a JVM running on an advanced platform may be opened or exported) only if the license is with the advanced support level and the support is active. Hence, a license with the basic support level does not entitle profiling on the advanced platforms. If the advanced support has expired and has not been renewed or has been renewed at the basic support level, profiling on the advanced platforms is not allowed.
RESTRICTED USE IN SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE MODE
If the license is obtained in the Subscription mode, your rights to use the Software (including but not limited to those described in the "You may" sections) are applicable only while the Subscription is active.
The subscription becomes inactive if it was explicitly cancelled or terminated, or if You fail to make the timely payment of subscription fees.

YourKit will have no liability to You if the Software is disabled by this feature. You may not disable, destroy, or remove this feature of the Software, and any attempt to do so will terminate your license and rights under this Agreement.
RESTRICTED USE WITHOUT ACTIVE SUPPORT CONTRACT
This section applies to a license which is not in the Subscription mode, which is described in the dedicated section "RESTRICTED USE IN SUBSCRIPTION LICENSE MODE".
