(2) We also offer products under a SaaS or on-demand model, where hosted software is provided on demand to customers,
generally through a web browser. The use of these products is generally governed by terms of use associated with these
products.
Policing unauthorized use of computer software is difficult and software piracy is a persistent problem for the software
industry. This problem is particularly acute in international markets. We conduct anti-piracy programs directly and through certain
external software associations. In addition, we have activation technology in certain products to guard against illegal use and will
continue to do so in certain future products.
EMPLOYEES
As of November 30, 2012, we employed 11,144 people. We have not experienced work stoppages and believe our employee
relations are good.
