      2. offer as a service the Software and Derivative Samples and Derivative Models in Compatible Applications on infrastructure Customer owns or leases, and

      3. sublicense and distribute the Software, Derivative Samples and Derivative Models in Compatible Applications.

  3. Limited Grant. Section 1.2 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

    1. Limited Grants. The grants above are further limited as follows:

      1. Users that receive an Enterprise Product identified as “not for resale” or “NFR” (typically a license to a distributor or reseller) may exercise only the grant in Section 1.1.1 above solely for internal evaluation or to demonstrate the Enterprise Product to others. Software offered as part of the developer program is not for use, distribution or deployment in production.

      2. Users that receive an Enterprise Product for trial may exercise the grants in Section 1.1 solely for the trial period.

      3. Users that receive an Enterprise Product via the NVIDIA developer program for Omniverse products have a personal use license to exercise only the grant in Section 1.1.1 above for Software that is part of this program (as updated by NVIDIA from time to time) solely for internal evaluation, development or test purposes.
