Licensing

Custom tailored licences can be made up to include specific modules in order to suit user-specific needs. Standalone, network, standard and professional licenses are available.


The software and the user's guide are supplied on a CD ROM disk. The installation programs, as well as any available updates can also be downloaded by licensed customers from the Private Download Section of Ampsa's web site.

The User's Guide is provided in Acrobat ReaderTM format (pdf files). 

Only computers with Microsoft Windows operating systems are currently supported (WindowsTM operating system; Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10). A fast computer (+1500MHz recommended), a fast graphics adapter (resolution: 1280 x 1024 or better) and a two-button mouse (Microsoft compatible) are recommended. A minimum of 4GB RAM is recommended.

The software is usually protected with a Gemalto Sentinel LDK USB key. Software-based license management options (Mirage Licence ProtectorTM) are also available. Standalone or network licenses can be provided.

Ampsa grants the LICENSEE the non-exclusive right to use the software on one computer at a time, on the conditions outlined in this agreement. A license may also be issued free of charge for a fixed period of time for the sole purpose of allowing a potential customer to verify the capabilities of the software before a license is purchased. Circuits designed with the software during such a trial period may not be implemented in customer products until a license for the software has been purchased.

2. TERMINATION. Ampsa has the right to terminate this license if the LICENSEE fails to comply with any of the conditions in this agreement.

3. COPYRIGHT. The software is protected by international copyright laws and treaties, as well as intellectual property laws and treaties. All rights on the software, except for those explicitly granted in this license agreement, are reserved.

4. SOFTWARE PROTECTION. The software is protected against unauthorized use. The protection may not be removed or bypassed and no attempt to do so may be made.

5. REMOVAL, EMULATION, OR REVERSE ENGINEERING. Removal, emulation, or reverse engineering of all or any part of this product or its protection constitutes an unauthorized modification to the product and is specifically prohibited.

If the software is an upgrade, all prior versions must also be transferred or destroyed. Written notice of such a transfer must be given to Ampsa.

Support agreements are not transferable. If support and upgrades are required by the third party, a new support agreement must be entered into with Ampsa. This option will only be available if it is requested at the time of transfer and if support on the software was still active on the transfer date.

11. GOVERNING LAW. The license agreement will be governed by the laws of South Africa and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts.
