HP-MPI License Terms

When you install the Abaqus Simulation Engine on a Linux platform, HP-MPI is also installed automatically to enable simulation execution on multiple hosts. Using HP-MPI with the Abaqus Simulation Engine implies that you have read and accepted the below license terms.

HP-MPI is included with this release of the Abaqus Simulation Engine software. HP-MPI is an implementation from Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") of the Message Passing Interface standard that may be used for parallel execution of the Abaqus Simulation Engine software. HP-MPI is the property of HP and is not a Dassault Systèmes Program. Under a license from HP to Dassault Systèmes Simulia Corp., HP-MPI is made available to licensed Abaqus Simulation Engine users at no additional charge.

You are a licensed Abaqus Simulation Engine user if you are authorized to use Abaqus Simulation Engine software under a software license agreement between Dassault Systèmes or its subsidiary and the business, governmental or academic entity with which you are associated. If you are a licensed Abaqus Simulation Engine user, you may obtain HP-MPI under a license directly from HP, or you may proceed to use the automatically installed version of HP-MPI as described in the System Requirements without entering into a separate license with HP. If you choose to use the automatically installed HP-MPI as made available by Dassault Systèmes or its subsidiary, use and reproduction of HP-MPI by your business, governmental, or academic entity will be subject to the same restrictions as are in the license agreement with your business, governmental or academic entity that govern the use of the Abaqus Simulation Engine software and will be terminable by Dassault Systèmes or its subsidiary on the same conditions as are in the Abaqus Simulation Engine software license agreement. However, HP-MPI is NOT a Dassault Systèmes Program and is NOT warranted or supported by Dassault Systèmes or its subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing:

HP-MPI IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. DASSAULT SYSTÈMES, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OR OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL DASSAULT SYSTÈMES, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR HP BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION) ARISING FROM USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF HP-MPI, EVEN IF DASSAULT SYSTÈMES, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR HP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
