You may not modify or prepare derivative works of the Software in whole or in part.  You may not publish any data or information that compares the performance of the Software with software created or distributed by others.  You may make up to the number of the copies of the Software, if used on separate computers, or permit up to the number of simultaneous users to use the Software, if used in a network environment, as permitted in a separate written agreement between you and XILINX, and make one copy of the Software in machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You must reproduce on each copy of the Software the copyright and any other proprietary legends that were on the original copy of the Software.  You may also transfer the Software, including any  backup copy of the Software you may have made, the related documentation, and a copy of this License to another party provided the other party reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License prior to your transfer of the Software to the other party, and provided that you retain no copies of the Software yourself.

3. Term; Termination.  This License is effective for one (1) year from activation of the Software. The activation date shall be deemed to be the date you agree to be bound by the terms of this License. If you wish to extend this License, you must contact XILINX or its authorized sales and/or distribution representatives to determine the additional fees, terms and conditions which may be applicable to such an extended term.  You may terminate this License at any time by destroying the Software and all copies thereof.  This License will terminate immediately without notice from XILINX if you fail to comply with any provision of this License.  Upon termination you must destroy the Software and all copies thereof, provided that you may retain one copy of the Software together with the right to use such copy for modifying and debugging any designs created during the license term.

4. Governmental Use. The Software is commercial computer software developed exclusively at Xilinx's expense.  Accordingly, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Section 12.212 and Defense FAR Supplement Section 227.2702, use, duplication and disclosure of the Software by or for the Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in this License.  Manufacturer is XILINX, INC., 2100 Logic Drive, San Jose, California 95124.

7. Interoperability.  If you acquired the Software in the European Union (EU), even if you believe you require information related to the interoperability of the Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain such information, and you agree to request such information from Xilinx at the address listed above.

8. Governing Law. This License shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles, provided that if the Software is acquired in the EU, this License shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland. The local language version of this License shall apply to Software acquired in the EU. Irish law provides that certain conditions and warranties may be implied in contracts for the sale of goods and in contracts for the supply of services. Such conditions and warranties are hereby excluded, to the extent such exclusion, in the context of this transaction, is lawful under Irish law. Conversely, such conditions and warranties, insofar as they may not be lawfully excluded, shall apply. Accordingly nothing in this License shall prejudice any rights that you may enjoy by virtue of Sections 12, 13, 14 or 15 of the Irish Sale of Goods Act 1893 (as amended).

9. General. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.  This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of this Software and related documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
