<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/eula.png?570cd5" alt="clarify terms and conditions" /></p>
<p>EULAlyzer is a freeware desktop application for Windows computers. The app’s setup file is sized at under 2 MB and installs in a jiffy. When the app opens up you can either paste license agreements into it or click on an icon to indicate which window the agreement is open in.</p>
