Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the Micriμm Products listed in the pricing page(s) of this Quote/Proposal to
bid along with these terms and conditions (collectively, the “Quote”) offered by Micriμm and/or its
affiliates, subsidiaries and licensors (collectively, the “Licensed Products”). These terms and conditions
are a material part of this Quote for the Licensed Products you are considering to purchase. Acceptance
of this Quote is expressly limited to the terms of this Quote and shall be deemed made by your issuance
of a purchase order to Micriμm. This Quote may not be modified, unless it is in writing and executed by a
Micriμm executive. Unless otherwise specified herein, this Quote shall only be valid for thirty (30) days.

Licensing Models
Micriµm offers the following licensing options described in this section. The quote you are receiving
identifies the type of licensing you requested.
2.01
End-Product
An End-Product license refers to a product manufactured by the licensee using one or more
software components provided by Micriµm. Each end-product is assumed to contain a single
microprocessor, microcontroller or DSP.
2.02
Site
A site is defined as licensee facilities where a product is being developed and may consist of
multiple buildings located within a two (2) mile radius building one or more End-Products.
2.03
Single Product License
A
Single Product License
allows the licensee to embed one or more Micriµm software
component(s) into an end-product. Each end-product can be produced in an unlimited number of
units, for the lifetime of the end-product.
2.04
Product Line License / Product Family
License
A
Product Line License
(also known as a
Product Family License)
allows the licensee to embed
one or more Micriµm component(s) into an unlimited number of different ‘Single Products’ as long
as each such product perform a similar function. For example, all commercial washing machines
would be considered being part of a product family. Commercial ‘dryers’ would be considered
being part of a different family of products. Each end-product within the product family can be
produced in an unlimited quantity, for the lifetime of the end-products belonging to the product
family.
2.05
CPU-Type License / Platform License
A CPU-Type License allows the licensee to embed a Micriµm component into any number of end
products using a single and specific processor type. The license holder may manufacture an
unlimited number of units of each of these products for the life of the end product that uses the
specific licensed processor type from a specific manufacturer (Atmel, Freescale, Xilinx, etc.). The
processor type is defined as being part of the same architecture. For example, ARM7, ARM9,
Cortex-M3, Coldfire, SH2A, etc.
2.06
Site License
A Site License allows the licensee to embed a Micriµm component into any end product that uses
any CPU as long as the products are designed from a single site.
2.07
Internal Site License
Internal Site license allows the licensee to embed a Micriµm component into multiple projects at a
single site as long as the usage is non-commercial and not sold or transferred to another
company or user.
2.08
Internal Single Project License
Internal Single Project license allow the licensee user(s) to embed a Micriµm component into a
single project at a single site as long as the usage is non-commercial and not sold or transferred
to another company or user.

Ports and Drivers
Ports
Ports allow µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III to be adapted to a wide range of processor architectures from
8 to 64 bits and DSPs. µC/OS-II has been ported to over 45 different CPU architectures and
most of those ports can be easily adapted to run µC/OS-III.
When purchasing a µC/OS-II and/or µC/OS-III license, Micriµm will provide the engineer with a
port that is currently in our library and was tested and proven to work in the past with a current or
previous version of µC/OS-II or µC/OS-III. It’s possible that the port might not have been updated
because the processor selected is not in wide use. On the other hand ‘popular’ processors most
likely have been updated to the latest version of the kernel. If an updated version of the port
needed and is not available, NREs (Non-Recurring Engineering) charges might be required.
These charges are on a case by case basis.
3.02
Drivers
Drivers allow components like µC/TCP-IP, µC/USB, µC/FS, µC/CAN, µC/GUI, etc. to be used on
a large selection of MPUs and MCUs.
A driver that was known to work with a previous version of the software component might be
provided to the end user with the purchase of a license. It’s possible that the driver might not
have been updated simply because the controller selected has not been used for some time. If a
‘popular’ controller is selected then most likely the driver will have been updated to the latest
version of the software component. If an updated version of the driver is not available, NREs
(Non-Recurring Engineering) charges might be required.
