Data collected by such mechanism will not include any data created by Customer with the Dassault Systèmes software. Customer consents to such detection and collection of data, as well as its transmission to and use by Dassault Systèmes.

Further, Dassault Systèmes also reserves the right to use a hardware lock device, license administration software, and/or a license authorization key to control access to, and use of, any Dassault Systèmes Offering. Customer shall not take steps to tamper with, circumvent, or disable any such measure.
