-
permit Licensee to permit third-party hosts (“Hosts”) to install the Licensee Application on such Hosts’ respective premises on Licensee’s behalf, and permit Licensee’s users to access and use the Licensed Programs so installed, solely for Licensee’s own development, testing, demonstration, staging and production purposes
-
install the Licensee Application on Licensee’s own premises and permit its own users to use the Licensee Application so installed on the same terms as sub-sections (i) and (ii) above.

No right or license is granted or agreed to be granted to disassemble or decompile any Licensed Programs furnished in object code form, and Licensee agrees not to engage in any such conduct unless permitted by law. Reverse engineering of Licensed Programs provided in object code form is prohibited, unless such a right is explicitly granted by any explicit license subject to sub-section (d) below or as a matter of law, and then only to the extent explicitly permitted. Licensor shall have no obligation to support any such reverse engineering, any product or derivative of such reverse engineering, or any use of the Licensed Programs with any modified versions of any of their components under this License.
