This license is only applicable to PERMIS binary software distributions. OpenPERMIS is not covered by this license and a separate BSD license is embedded in all the OpenPERMIS source code modules.

Please note that the some PERMIS binary software has software from Stiftung SIC embedded within it.

PERMIS binary software that does not have Stiftung SIC components embedded in them are Simple PERMIS and SAWS. The following paragraph does not apply if you only use Simple PERMIS and/or SAWS, otherwise the conditions of the following paragraph do apply.

The IAIK toolkit is a separately licensed product from Stiftung SIC, and if you use their toolkit, you will need to obtain a separate license from SIC. (Educational, research and evaluation licenses are currently at no cost, but commercial licenses must be purchased from Stiftung SIC.) Under a special agreement between Stiftung SIC and the University of Kent, agreeing to the PERMIS licence covers you for use of the IAIK software embedded in PERMIS, for educational and research purposes only. Please keep in mind that you should contact both us and SIC if you would like to use our products in a commercial context. By accepting our license you also accept that we will forward your registered name, affiliation and email-address to Stiftung SIC. We would also like to inform you that after registration your user details will be stored at Stiftung SIC, and you may be contacted by the Stiftung SIC Sales Department.
