Does that mean that I can share the downloaded demo file with others (a group of students for example) or this action could be considered illegal and everyone must register and download the same file individually? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from Upgrade to full version.

This is done because when you register with SIOS, Germany checks each user individually to evaluate their origin. That said, you could share the program with other people because when you download it, you can do with it whatever you want and you are always responsible for the use that other people make of it. The only thing, as you know, with the demo you will not be able to load the LOGOS! you will only be able to play with it. Best regards!
	If this Information really helps, you could use the Rate function Thank you.

There are terms and conditions when you download the software. There are terms and conditions when you install the software. Those terms and conditions are legally binding. That should guide you to what you should do. Contact Siemens and motivate your position, if you aim to act ethically to distribute to a small group of people. Siemens owns the software and may do as they want. Siemens are known to be lenient to academics.

In the end, when you download the software from the SIOS page, you must have a registered account that has been approved by Siemens. The demo is ultimately just a demonstration software but it does not have all the functionalities that the full software has. I doubt the legality of selling this software and distributing it. But it can be downloaded from SIOS by anyone who registers and has an account with Siemens.

Does this mean that I can give the program to everyone or may be even sell (distribute)? As Aivars showed you can copy/distribute the LOGO!Soft Comfort demo. But you have to ensure you fulfil the export laws. Only one who is registered at Siemens can download the demo because the software is export restricted.

If they later work with Siemens products, need help or information they should know how to find it. Hope this helps.
