4. SOFTWARE PRODUCT ACTIVATION AND ACTIVATION KEYS

For the use of the Software, you must complete the activation process. You acknowledge that a security code, referred to as "Activation Keys," which is owned and controlled by Devart, is required for the proper operation of the Software on your computer. Only Devart has the right to generate the Activation Keys. Upon purchase of the Software or an authorized transfer of the Software, Devart will promptly provide you with the necessary Activation Keys.

You are prohibited from attempting to crack, alter, or otherwise derive the Activation Keys. You do not have the right to distribute, publish, publicly display, or otherwise disseminate the Software Activation Keys to any persons, organizations, entities, newsgroups, locations, or websites. To unlock, access, activate, and use the Software, you may only use Activation Keys provided by Devart, which may be obtained either through a purchase from an authorized reseller or directly from Devart. Only these Activation Keys are valid for use. The use of Activation Keys obtained through unauthorized means constitutes a violation of this EULA and may result in the termination of this, and any other, license agreement(s) with Devart.
