NVIDIA updated its Software License Agreement on May 23, 2026, making several administrative and structural changes. The company reorganized how product-specific terms are referenced, replacing references to 'the Agreement below' with 'this Agreement' and consolidating NVIDIA Omniverse product terms into the AI Products specific terms. NVIDIA also added explicit governance language for NVIDIA Networking Products, updated documentation references to include Product Specific Terms alongside documentation, and changed the language describing pre-release software discontinuation from 'may stop' to 'may discontinue use at any time.' Privacy policy and Trustworthy AI terms URLs were reformatted to use relative paths instead of full HTTPS URLs.

What this means for you

This change is primarily administrative and structural. NVIDIA reorganized how product-specific terms are referenced within the master Software License Agreement and consolidated governance language across multiple product categories. The updated terms now explicitly govern NVIDIA Networking Products and clarify that NVIDIA Omniverse terms are incorporated into the AI Products specific terms. Wording changes to pre-release software discontinuation language replace 'may stop at Customer's convenience' with 'may discontinue use at any time,' which states the same operational outcome in clearer terms. No new restrictions, fees, data collection authorizations, or consumer obligations were introduced by these changes.

Key Clauses Affected

Product governance consolidation

NVIDIA Omniverse product terms are now incorporated into NVIDIA AI Products specific terms rather than governed separately.

NVIDIA Networking Products are now explicitly governed by the master agreement and product-specific terms for Networking Products.

Pre-release software discontinuation
