Such records shall consist of, but not be limited to, date of download/transfer, identification of the authorised user and email address for each user.

Web-based Program
This program cannot be copied. It is accessed using the web via the ISI ResearchSoft Server or their chosen service provider. The WriteNote plug-ins may be downloaded and, for ease of deployment, copied and distributed to End Users of Licensee.

4.3
Personal Copies of Desktop Programs
A personal copy must be purchased for installation on any machine that is not owned or operated by a Licensed Site.
