License/Eula for GlobalProtect Portal client v3.x

[ramfree17]

We have a client that requires GlobalProtect for connecting to their network. Their site provides the installers which is version 3.1.1.27. We have an internal team that insists on receiving a license description or EULA for using the client binaries. They cannot believe that there is such a thing as a software client that doesnt show or store a EULA for the user to agree. I dont have access to the server software although I have already logged a request for the GlobalProtect system administrators to confirm that using the Portal client does not require a licence.

The closest I can see are the following:

• https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/60/globalprotect/global_protect_6-0/globalprotect-ove... - which states a perpetual license requirement for the firewall, and not the client.
• https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Configuration-Articles/GlobalProtect-Portal-and-Gateway-License... - which also talks about the firewall/server content.

Are there any literature that officially discuses the license restrictions (or lack of) on the  Portal client? Thanks.

@ramfree17,

The agent really isn't anything that Palo Alto is worried about, and I don't believe there actually is any license to give for it. Essentially Palo Alto doesn't care about the agent, they care about the device you are connecting to and it's license compliance.

@VinceM: Not really. None of them talks about the client. The reviewers are not accepting the argumetn that the lack of reference is evidence of the lack of licensing terms. I wish it does since I spent more time trying to prove it doesnt exist than just creating a dummy BSD-type EULA. They wont know the difference anyway. 😞
