Scope
This agreement covers KMSYS Worldwide's OS 2200 mainframe products — I-QU PLUS-1, I-QU ReorgComposer, Q-LINK, and related 2200 utilities. Each license is tied to a specific installation and EXEC site ID; the workstation/connectivity products and HGS are licensed under separate agreements.
License keys and transfer fees
License keys are bound to one installation and EXEC site ID. Any change that requires KMSYS Worldwide to issue new keys — upgrading to a new machine, changing the EXEC site ID — incurs a license transfer fee equal to 5% of the current price of the software configuration being re-keyed.
Transfer fees may be paid by credit card or by purchase order (payable in full within 30 days). KMSYS issues a temporary 30-day key while payment is processed. Late payment or a request for more than one extension triggers additional transfer fees.
Disaster recovery licenses
- In a real disaster, KMSYS provides the keys needed to bring the software up at an alternate location during normal business hours, free of charge.
- Sites that want a standing DR licence pay 10% of the current perpetual licence fee, available only when the DR equipment is not normally accessible. The DR licence renews annually at no extra cost as long as maintenance on the original licence stays current.
- If the DR system is also used as a test system at another facility, the standard 20% multiple-copy discount applies instead, and maintenance is a separate line item.
- Short-term test keys (5 days or less) — including DR testing — are issued free; extensions are billed at 1/12 of the one-year renewable licence fee per month.
Renewal of maintenance
If maintenance lapses and the customer later wants to reinstate it, payment must cover the prorated gap between the previous and new maintenance terms plus 12 months in advance. Customers running multiple perpetual licences who want to drop maintenance on one system must acknowledge in writing that the software is no longer in use on that system; resuming use later requires the prorated gap plus a 12-month extension.
Outsourcing
Licences may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or transferred to a third party without KMSYS Worldwide's written consent — and KMSYS will not authorise assignment to a third-party outsourcer. The outsourcer must contract directly with KMSYS for new licences. The same rule applies if the customer sells the system to a sub-contractor and leases time back, or leases time on its own system to a third party (the lessee buys its own licences). A customer that owns the system but hires a sub-contractor only to operate it does not need new licences.
