1.1 The term "the Software" in this Licence means the Omni AccountsTM computer program with which this Licence is included and any Updates (defined below) or maintenance releases thereto, any later "switched on" functions ("Features") or collections of Features ("Bundles") and any related materials and accompanying documents. The use by you of any services or content accessible through the Software may be subject to your acceptance of separate agreements with OMNI or third parties.
 
1.2 This Licence applies to the: (a) single-user and (b) multi-user versions of the Software.
 
1.3 SINGLE-USER VERSION
 
If you have purchased or otherwise legitimately acquired a single-user version of the Software, you are granted a limited non-exclusive non-transferable licence to use a single copy of the Software on a single computer used by a single individual. You may make one (1) backup copy of the Software for your own use. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying the Software if any, or print multiple copies of any online user documentation.
 
1.4 MULTI-USER VERSION
 
If you have purchased or otherwise legitimately acquired the multi-user version of the Software, you are granted a limited non-exclusive non-transferable licence to use the Software on the number of computers within the network limited to the number of users specified. You may make additional copies (limited to the number of computers specified) of the printed materials accompanying the Software if any, and/or print copies of any online user documentation located in the Software.

Certain unpurchased Features (switches) or Bundles on either the single user version or multi user version of the Software may be evaluated for fourteen (14) days. You are granted a limited non-exclusive non-transferable licence to use such Features or Bundles (whether in the single or multi user versions of the Software) for evaluation purposes only for the duration of the trial. Thereafter, you may purchase the right to use the appropriate Feature or Bundle, which licence terms are specified herein, by contacting OMNI or your retailer. During the trial you may not copy any printed materials associated with the Features being tried that accompany the Software, if any, or print multiple copies of any online user documentation.
