Necessary copying includes the installation of the software from the original data carrier to the hard disc of the hardware used and the loading of the software into the internal memory.

In case of a replacement delivery the licensor shall bear the expenses necessarily incurred for this purpose, in particular the cost of transmission of the software. Should the licensor deliver non-defective software for the purposes of subsequent fulfillment, the defective software shall then be entirely deleted from all the licensee’s data carriers and may not be transferred to Third Parties.
     
  2. Should the licensor not be prepared or not be able to provide subsequent fulfillment or should this be delayed beyond a reasonable period for reasons for which the licensor is responsible, or should the subsequent fulfillment fail for any other reason, the licensee shall be entitled within the context of the statutory provisions to enforce his remedies of rescission, diminution of the purchase price, or in damages.

For simple negligence the liability of the licensor is limited to damage foreseeable for contracts of this type.
