The enclosed software, that includes the ActiveFinish Design-time library, ActiveFinish Run-time library, demonstration applications, and documentation (hereinafter the "Software"), is licensed, not sold, to you by Dioada Software for use only under the terms of this License, and Dioada Software reserves any rights not expressly granted to you. You own the media on which the Software is recorded or fixed, but Dioada Software retains ownership of the Software itself.

  1. License.

    The Software is "in use" (or the term "use" is written) when you develop any source code depending on the Software, modified or not.

    Dioada Software grants to you the license that allows a single developer to use only one copy of the Software on a single computer at any one time.

  2. Licensed Uses and Restrictions.
    1. You may inherit from and modify an ActiveFinish control.
    2. You may create a control that refers to the ActiveFinish library.
    3. You may add a supplied ActiveFinish control, a modified control or a created control to a Windows Form of an application.
    4. You may distibute an application for money or gratis, with the exception of a graphics editing, video playing or video editing application, where any part of the core rendering is performed by the ActiveFinish library. Where ActiveFinish serves only to decorate controls that raise events in the application, the aforementioned exception does not apply.
    5. No part of the software may be distributed except where an application is distributed that requires the ActiveFinish library to function correctly. In this case, it must be distributed with the Run-time version of the library.
    6. You may not distribute a control, which refers to the ActiveFinish library, in such a way that it is exposed to an end-user. Distribution is permissible only when the control is an internal part of a Form in an application.
    7. No part of the software may be sold, leased or sub-licensed.
  3. VideoPlayer BETA Disclaimer

    The included plugin, 'VideoPlayerBETA', is a Beta version of a proposed video player element. As such, its stability cannot be guaranteed and may cause the Visual Studio IDE or an application to crash. Do not develop controls or applications that rely on its current properties and behaviour as they are subject to change, and we make no promises on a final release.
