U.S. Government

The Software is “commercial computer

to FAR 12.212 and 27.405-3 and Depart- 
ment of Defense FAR Supplement 
(“DFARS”) 227.7202, the U.S. govern- 
ment acquires commercial computer 
software under the same terms by which 
the software is customarily provided to 
the public. Accordingly, Keysight pro- 
vides the Software to U.S. government 
customers under its standard commercial 
license, which is embodied in its End 
User License Agreement (EULA), a copy 
of which can be found at http://

cense set forth in the EULA represents 
the exclusive authority by which the U.S.

that Keysight: (1) Furnish technical infor- 
mation related to commercial computer

arily provided to the public; or (2) Relin- 
quish to, or otherwise provide, the  gov- 
ernment rights in excess of these rights 
customarily provided to the public to use, 
modify, reproduce, release, perform, dis- 
play, or disclose commercial computer 
software or commercial computer soft- 
ware documentation. No additional gov- 
ernment requirements beyond those set 
forth in the EULA shall apply, except to 
the extent that those terms, rights, or 
licenses are explicitly required from all 
providers of commercial computer soft- 
ware pursuant to the FAR and the DFARS 
and are set forth specifically in writing 
elsewhere in the EULA. Keysight shall be 
under no obligation to update, revise or 
otherwise modify the Software.  With
