Can I use Sibelius Instrument sounds in a DAW?

Hi Everyone. I really like the grand piano sound in Sibelius and was wondering if it is copyright free and if I can use it in my song? Additionally, I would like to use the sound file in a DAW to its easier for me to adjust the volume and render (without Rewire). Last time i rendered it with Rewire it was completely out of sync and didn't sound good. Is it possible to use the Sibelius Instruments in a DAW without Rewire?

To elaborate slightly on Andy's answer, the Sibelius sounds are in a format that only works from within the sibelius player, which only works with Sibelius. Proprietary is as proprietary does!
