5.1 Gemini CAD Systems Software is deployed in two methods: (a) desktop versions deployed by downloadable installation kits and (b) browser versions deployed by accessing and logging into the Gemini Platform.
5.2 The installation kits for current versions of Gemini CAD Systems Software are available for download for registered users on the Gemini Platform. For older software versions, Gemini CAD Systems guarantees to provide to each end-user for a period of 5 years after the purchase its own depository of installation kits for all its licensed software products and versions. This service will be available to end-users upon registration and login to the Gemini Platform.
5.3 Desktop versions of Gemini CAD Systems Software are protected against un-licensed use by means of (a) USB security device, (b) Gemini Shield desktop software application and (c) Identity confirmation by login and authentication to the Gemini platform.
5.4 The USB security device (USB DONGLE) is a physical device provided by Gemini CAD Systems which performs the following actions:
a) It stores a list of licensed Gemini CAD Software products, along with their parameters (add-ons, a number of parallel processing CPU cores, version limit date, start and finish date of the licensing period, the start and finish date of the current activation period).
b) It grants or denies the use of each Gemini CAD Systems Software application based on stored information; for this purpose, the USB DONGLE communicates with the Gemini Shield desktop application, which must be installed and run on the computer.
c) It communicates via the Gemini Shield application with the Gemini Platform which manages End-Users and Licenses, in order to retrieve updated license information and to report data to confirm compliance of the software usage profile with this agreement.
d) It operates its internal clock to measure time, calendar and time of software usage and runs verifications to prevent tampering with computer’s clock and calendar when the activation is time-limited.
e) It stores and runs parts of the Gemini CAD Systems software which are critical to each application and without which the software cannot operate, and it exchanges data with Gemini CAD Systems Software running in the computer’s RAM.
5.5 The “Current Activation” of the USB DONGLE is a defined time interval in which each Gemini CAD Systems Software application may be used and is different than the Duration of the License as defined in article 3.1. The Current Activation will be equal or smaller than the duration of license, limited by the following:
a) Limitations due to an active license insurance subscription by which the activation of each USB DONGLE is limited to 30 days, after which the Gemini CAD Systems activation platform must be contacted through Internet to renew its activation; this insurance system prevents a dongle reported as stolen/lost/damaged to retrieve a re-activation from the Gemini CAD Systems activation platform and therefore to be active more than 30 days after the report has been submitted by the End-User.
b) Limitations due to the internal technical capabilities of the dongle to store activation parameters.
c) Limitations due to End-User’s obligations to fulfill its registration and/or annual updates of its registration data on the Gemini Platform.
5.6 The Gemini Shield is a desktop software application provided by Gemini CAD Systems which must be installed and run prior to execution of any Gemini CAD Systems Software application and which performs the following actions:
a) It communicates with the Gemini Platform to retrieve updated information about licenses, organization and end-users, and transmits this information to be stored into the USB DONGLE.
b) It performs user authentication by login in using the Gemini identity management systems on the Gemini platform which applies the rules and restrictions defined by organization’s policies for that user in terms of data access rights, level of competence and activity logging.
c) It communicates with Gemini Software applications to pass on information about license, organization, license conditions and limitations, due payments, news and updates.
5.7 Activation of the USB DONGLE, user authentication, license and product information updates require permanent internet connection between the Gemini Shield and the Gemini Platform. If such a connection is not available on the computer where Gemini CAD Systems Software is installed (because of company policies, firewall, lack of internet connection, etc.) the USB DONGLE might not renew its current activation, applications might not operate properly, user authentication and rights management might not be functional or up to date with the policies of the organization. Gemini CAD Systems is not responsible for any consequences resulting from above mentioned situation.
