About NAS/SAN support

Generally, using a NAS/SAN device for the Storage Engine is not supported. UC Analytics might support specific NAS/SAN devices but Quest would require full testing with the devices, or device simulators, to support them. Since each NAS/SAN device, depending on manufacturer, is unique, Quest will work with NAS/SAN vendors to certify or qualify a device but the NAS/SAN vendor must be willing to assist. To engage a NAS/SAN vendor and initiate the qualification process, you would send an email to your NAS/SAN vendor and contact Quest Support.

Software requirements

To install and run UC Analytics, the following software requirements must be met on the computers that host these specific UC Analytic services:

SharpZipLib License

The library is released under the GPL with the following exception:

Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

Note The exception is changed to reflect the latest GNU Classpath exception. Older versions of #ziplib did have another exception, but the new one is clearer and it doesn't break compatibility with the old one.

Bottom line In plain English this means you can use this library in commercial closed-source applications.
