## Hardware and Software Requirements

## Licensing Information

DMF is released independently of operating system releases and is distributed by order only to licensed sites. Software keys are used to enforce licensing. DMF licenses apply to a single specific system. DMF license fees vary depending on the type of hardware.

DMF contains an embedded proprietary software package known as RDM Embedded from Birdstep Technology, Inc. RDM Embedded is not available from SGI; if you want to obtain it, contact Birdstep Technology, Inc. SGI reserves the right to make changes to the embedded package, which will cause it to be different from that which you obtain from Birdstop Technology, Inc.
