1.1 Notation Musician and Notation Composer - Trial Version

(Visit www.notation.com for ordering instructions.)

1.2 Notation Musician and Notation Composer - Full Version

In case you are under 18 years of age and wish to purchase a license of one of our products, please ask your parent or guardian to act as principal.
For the Notation Musician and Notation Composer Full Versions, Notation Software grants you a license to use the Software for as long as you want to use the Software. The installation of the Software is limited to one single computer at a time. Computer also stands for a single virtual machine. Any virtual machine requires a separate license. The installation setup is such that multiple users of the same computer can use the Software license. In case the Software needs to be installed on another computer than the original computer, you can port your personal license to a new computer for free by touching base with Notation Software. You will need to send your name and full address which you used when purchasing the license, the license number, the log file of the setup program and the log file of the Software itself. In addition it is required to precisely describe the reason why you want to port the Software to another PC.
You should send this request from your email address which you used when purchasing the product. Notation Software has prepared a form for that on its website (“SUPPORT/Software Updates”). Both log files are created by the Software automatically and stored on your computer. Details like the location of these log files, where the license number is displayed etc. will be presented by the Software in the case of attempting a new installation. Notation Software will validate your request as soon as possible and reactive the license for the new PC accordingly.
After the license is reactivated for the new computer, the Software needs to be uninstalled from the former computer as described above for the case of non-acceptance of the license agreement. An installation on a new computer is only possible with the originally received Software installation program which you received from Notation Software. There is no limit in the number of consecutive installations on the original computer, and such reinstallations can be done without a reactivation of the Software by Notation Software.

2. Redistribution

The transfer of the license to the new licensee needs to follow the same scenario as for the reactivation described above in section 1.2. Notation Software will re-distribute a new installation program of the Software and reactivate the newly transferred license with the information of the new licensee.

3. Restrictions
