I tried to install jdk7 (Linux x64 rpm) on my Amazon EC2 instance. I used wget and curl -o to do this, but it was not downloaded successfully. Instead, an error HTML file has been downloaded in which it claims to accept the license agreement before downloading. I used this link www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u7-downloads-1836413.html to accept the agreement, after which I right-clicked on the package and copied the link and tried to download it from the command line, but it didn`t work. I downloaded it to my local computer and moved it to my local directory in EC2 using scp. But when I tried to run it, it generated these errors: The best way to get a user to accept the terms of your EULA is the clickwrap method. Note In Windows Vista and Windows 7, a User Account Control (UAC) dialog box may appear. You must click Next to open Registry Editor. Recently, publishers have started encrypting their software packages to prevent a user from installing the software without accepting the license agreement or violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and its foreign counterparts.

[Citation needed] Some end-user license agreements accompany shrink-wrapped software, which is sometimes presented to a user on paper or usually electronically during the installation process. The user has the choice to accept or refuse the contract. The installation of the software is subject to the condition that the user clicks on a button called “Accept”. See below. The term shrink film license refers colloquially to any software license agreement included with a software package and which is only accessible to the customer after purchase. Typically, the license agreement is printed on paper included in the box software. It can also be displayed to the user on the screen during installation, in which case the license is sometimes referred to as the click-wrap license. Customer`s inability to review the license agreement before purchasing the software has resulted in a conflict between these licenses and legal challenges in some cases.

The DMCA specifically provides for reverse engineering of software for interoperability purposes, so there has been some controversy over whether software license contractual clauses that restrict this are enforceable. Davidson & Associates v. The 8th Jung Circuit[12] concluded that such clauses are enforceable, according to the federal circuit`s decision in Baystate v. Bowers. [13] This section, method, or task contains steps to learn how to modify the registry. However, if you do not modify the registry correctly, serious problems may occur. Therefore, be sure to follow these steps carefully. For additional protection, back up the registry before you modify it. You can then restore the registry if something goes wrong. For more information about backing up and restoring the registry, see Backing up and restoring the registry in Windows.

Clickwrap has proven to be a highly enforceable method in court to obtain consent to be bound by legal agreements such as the terms and conditions and the EULA. End-user licensing agreements have also been criticized for containing conditions that impose burdensome obligations on consumers. For example, Clickwrapped, a service that evaluates consumer businesses based on their respect for users` rights, reports that they increasingly include a term that prevents a user from suing the company in court. [21] Each of these methods creates too much uncertainty as to whether the user was actually aware of the existence of the EULA and actually intended to accept its terms. In a recent article published by Kevin Litman-Navarro for the New York Times entitled We Read 150 Privacy Policies. They were an incomprehensible disaster,[22] The complexity of 150 terms of popular websites such as Facebook, Airbnb, etc. was analyzed and understood. As a result, for example, the majority of bachelor`s degrees require a university degree or higher: “To succeed in university, people must understand texts with a score of 1300. Professionals, such as doctors and lawyers, should be able to understand documents with a score of 1440, while ninth-graders should understand texts above 1050 to be on track for university or a career by the time they graduate. Many privacy policies go beyond these standards.

[22] The 7th and 8th circles subscribe to the “licensed and unsold” argument, unlike most other circuits. In addition, the applicability of contracts depends on whether the state has passed the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or the Anti-UCITA Bomb Shelter (UCITA). In anti-UCITA states, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) has been amended either to explicitly define software as good (making it fall under the UCC) or to prohibit contracts that stipulate that the terms of the contract are subject to the laws of a state that has adopted UCITA. The presentation of the EULA exclusively on the download page of the application is also not effective. A user may not notice the link to the agreement or recognize its importance as a basic legal agreement between them and the app, skip reading, or even notice it altogether. Waiting after installation or inserting a link to the EULA on the download page also does not get visible acceptance of THE EULA terms like the clickwrap method at the beginning of the installation. Feldman realizes that you should always use a checkbox or “I agree/I accept” button when you get consent to your EULA (or other legal agreements), as this clearly proves that your users intended to accept/accept your terms. The question of whether shrink film licences are legally binding differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, although a majority of jurisdictions consider such licences to be enforceable. The disagreement between two U.S.

courts in Klocek v. Gateway and Brower v. Gateway is particularly questionable. In both cases, it was a shrink film-wrapped licence document provided by the online provider of a computer system. The terms of the retractable licence were not provided at the time of purchase, but were attached to the product shipped as a printed document. The license required the customer to return the product within a limited time if the license was not approved. In the brower case, the New York State Court of Appeals ruled that the terms of the shrink film-wrapped license document were enforceable because the customer`s consent was that he had not returned the goods within the 30 days specified in the document. The U.S. District Court of Kansas in the Klocek case ruled that the purchase agreement was entered into at the time of the transaction and that the additional shipping terms contained in a document similar to Brower`s did not constitute a contract because the customer had never accepted them at the time of entering into the purchase agreement. If you ever need legal action against a user of your software, you must prove that the user has actually accepted the terms of your EULA and agreed to be bound by them, which will be difficult with anything other than a clickwrap in accepting the installation. The applicability of an EULA depends on several factors, one of which is the court in which the case is heard. Some courts that have considered the validity of shrink film licensing agreements have found some EULAs invalid and have characterized them as liability agreements, unscrupulous contracts, and/or unacceptable under the .C.C States.

– see, for example, Step-Saver Data Systems, Inc.c. Wyse Technology[6], Vault Corp.c. Quaid Software Ltd. [7] Other courts have determined that the Shrinkwrap license agreement is valid and enforceable: see ProCD, Inc.c. Zeidenberg[8], Microsoft v. Harmony Computers[9], Novell v. Network Trade Center[10] and Ariz. Cartridge Remanufacturers Ass`n v. Lexmark Int`l, Inc.[11] may also have some significance. No court has ruled on the validity of EULA in general; Decisions are limited to certain modalities. Even if it says, “1.

Download the file. Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. Is there a way to accept the license from the command line? OS X Yosemite informs users at the top of the EULA that “you must accept the terms of the software license in order to proceed with the installation of the software.” The license agreement text is included and a user must click Accept before the installation begins. .
