MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC
WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE
These license terms are an agreement between you and
· the device manufacturer that distributes the software with
the device, or
· the software installer that distributes the software with
the device.
Please read them. They apply to the software named above, which
includes the media on which you received it, if any. Printed paper
license terms, which may come with the software, take the place of any
on-screen license terms. The terms also apply to any Microsoft
· updates,
· supplements,
· Internet-based services, and
· support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so,
those terms apply. If you obtain updates or supplements directly from
Microsoft, Microsoft and not the manufacturer or installer, licenses
those to you.
By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept
them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or
installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit.
As described below, using the software also operates as your consent
to the transmission of certain computer information during activation,
validation and for Internet-based services.
If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for
each license you acquire.
1. OVERVIEW.
a. Software. The software includes desktop operating system
software. This software does not include Windows Live services.
Windows Live is a service available from Microsoft under a separate
agreement.
b. License Model. The software is licensed on a per copy per
device basis.
c. Edition Specific Rights. See the Additional License Terms
sections at the end of this agreement for license terms that apply to
specific editions of the software.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. The software license is permanently
assigned to the device with which you acquired the software. That
device is the "licensed device." A hardware partition is considered
to be a separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software
on the licensed device. You may use the software on up to two
processors on that device at one time. You may not use the software
on any other device.
b. Number of Users. Except as provided in the Device
Connections (all editions), Remote Access Technologies (Home Basic and
Home Premium editions) and Other Access Technologies (Ultimate
edition) sections below, only one user may use the software at a time.
c. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than
one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may use only one version
at one time. If manufacturer or installer provides you with a
one-time selection between language versions, you may use only the one
language version you select.
3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.
a. Multiplexing. Hardware or software you use to
· pool connections, or
· reduce the number of devices or users that
directly access or use the software
(sometimes referred to as "multiplexing" or "pooling"),
does not reduce the number of licenses you need.
b. Font Components. While the software is running, you may
use its fonts to display and print content. You may only
· embed fonts in content as permitted by the
embedding restrictions in the fonts; and
· temporarily download them to a printer or
other output device to print content.
c. Icons, images and sounds. While the software is running,
you may use but not share its icons, images, sounds, and media.
4. MANDATORY ACTIVATION.
Activation associates the use of the software with a specific
device. During activation, the software will send information about
the software and the device to Microsoft. This information includes
the version, language and product key of the software, the Internet
protocol address of the device, and information derived from the
hardware configuration of the device. For more information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69497. By using the software,
you consent to the transmission of this information. Before you
activate, you have the right to use the version of the software
installed during the installation process. Your right to use the
software after the time specified in the installation process is
limited unless it is activated. This is to prevent its unlicensed
use. You will not be able to continue using the software after that
time if you do not activate it. If the device is connected to the
Internet, the software may automatically connect to Microsoft for
activation. You can also activate the software manually by Internet
or telephone. If you do so, Internet and telephone service charges
may apply. Some changes to your computer components or the software
may require you to reactivate the software. If the manufacturer or
installer activated the software for you, you may not be asked to
activate the software when you first use it. The software will remind
you to activate it until you do.
5. VALIDATION.
a. The software will from time to time validate the software,
update or require download of the validation feature of the software.
Validation verifies that the software has been activated and is
properly licensed. Validation also permits you to use certain
features of the software or to obtain additional benefits. For more
information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=39157.
b. During a validation check, the software will send
information about the software and the device to Microsoft. This
information includes the version and product key of the software, and
the Internet protocol address of the device. Microsoft does not use
the information to identify or contact you. By using the software,
you consent to the transmission of this information. For more
information about validation and what is sent during a validation
check, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69500.
c. If, after a validation check, the software is found not to
be properly licensed, the functionality of the software may be
affected. For example, you may
· need to reactivate the software, or
· receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the
software,
or you may not be able to
· use or continue to use some of the features of the software, or
· obtain certain updates or upgrades from Microsoft.
d. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software
from Microsoft or authorized sources. For more information on
obtaining updates from authorized sources see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69502.
6. POTENTIALLY UNWANTED SOFTWARE. If turned on, Windows Defender
will search your computer for "spyware," "adware" and other
potentially unwanted software. If it finds potentially unwanted
software, the software will ask you if you want to ignore, disable
(quarantine) or remove it. Any potentially unwanted software rated
"high" or "severe," which will automatically be removed after scanning
unless you change the default setting. Removing or disabling
potentially unwanted software may result in
· other software on your computer ceasing to work, or
· your breaching a license to use other software on your
computer.
By using this software, it is possible that you will also remove
or disable software that is not potentially unwanted software.
7. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. Microsoft provides Internet-based
services with the software. It may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features
described below and in the Windows Vista Privacy Statement connect to
Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the Internet. In
some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect.
You may switch off these features or not use them. For more
information about these features, see the Windows Vista Privacy
Statement at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=20615. By using
these features, you consent to the transmission of this information.
Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information. The following features use Internet
protocols, which send to the appropriate systems computer information,
such as your Internet protocol address, the type of operating system,
browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the
language code of the device where you installed the software.
Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based services
available to you.
· Windows Update Feature. You may connect new hardware to your
device. Your device may not have the drivers needed to communicate
with that hardware. If so, the update feature of the software can
obtain the correct driver from Microsoft and install it on your
device. You can switch off this update feature.
· Web Content Features. Features in the software can retrieve
related content from Microsoft and provide it to you. Examples of
these features are clip art, templates, online training, online
assistance and Appshelp. You may choose not to use these web content
features.
· Digital Certificates. The software uses digital certificates.
These digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users
sending X.509 standard encrypted information. They also can be used
to digitally sign files and macros, and to verify the integrity and
origin of the file contents. The software retrieves certificates and
updates certificate revocation lists over the Internet, when
available.
· Auto Root Update. The Auto Root Update feature updates the list
of trusted certificate authorities. You can switch off the Auto Root
Update feature.
· Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content owners use
Windows Media digital rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect
their intellectual property, including copyrights. This software and
third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRM-protected
content. If the software fails to protect the content, content owners
may ask Microsoft to revoke the software's ability to use WMDRM to
play or copy protected content. Revocation does not affect other
content. When you download licenses for protected content, you agree
that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses.
Content owners may require you to upgrade WMDRM to access their
content. Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask for your
consent prior to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade, you will not
be able to access content that requires the upgrade. You may switch
off WMDRM features that access the Internet. When these features are
off, you can still play content for which you have a valid license.
· Windows Media Player. When you use Windows Media Player, it
checks with Microsoft for
· compatible online music services in your region;
· new versions of the player; and
· codecs if your device does not have the correct ones for playing
content.
You can switch off this last feature. For more information, go to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=44073.
· Malicious Software Removal/Clean On Upgrade. Before
installation of the software, the software will check and remove
certain malicious software listed at
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830 ("Malware") from your
device. When the software checks your device for Malware, a report
will be sent to Microsoft about any Malware detected or errors that
occurred while the software was checking for Malware. No information
that can be used to identify you is included in the report. You may
disable the software's Malware reporting functionality by following
the instructions found at
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830.
· Network Connectivity Status Icon. This feature determines
whether a system is connected to a network by either passive
monitoring of network traffic or active DNS or HTTP queries. The
query only transfers standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing
purposes. You can switch off the active query feature through a
registry setting.
· Windows Time Service. This service synchronizes with
www.time.windows.com once a week to provide your computer with the
correct time. You can turn this feature off or choose your preferred
time source within the Date and Time Control Panel applet. The
connection uses standard NTP protocol.
· IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal service
(Teredo). This feature helps existing home Internet gateway devices
transition to IPv6. IPv6 is next generation Internet protocol. It
helps enable end-to-end connectivity often needed by peer-to-peer
applications. To do so, each time you start up the software the
Teredo client service will attempt to locate a public Teredo Internet
service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This query
only transfers standard Domain Name Service information to determine
if your computer is connected to the Internet and can locate a public
Teredo service. If you
· use an application (e.g. Windows Meeting Space) that needs IPv6
connectivity or
· configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard Internet Protocol information will be sent to the
Teredo service at Microsoft at regular intervals. No other
information is sent to Microsoft. You can change this default to use
non-Microsoft servers. You can also switch off this feature using a
command line utility named "netsh".
b. Use of Information. Microsoft may use the computer
information, error reports, and Malware reports to improve our
software and services. We may also share it with others, such as
hardware and software vendors. They may use the information to
improve how their products run with Microsoft software.
c. Misuse of Internet-based Services. You may not use these
services in any way that could harm them or impair anyone else's use
of them. You may not use the services to try to gain unauthorized
access to any service, data, account or network by any means.
8. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This
agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. The
manufacturer or installer and Microsoft reserve all other rights.
Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation,
you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this
agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical
limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain
ways. For more information, see the software documentation. You may
not
· work around any technical limitations in the software;
· reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software,
except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits,
despite this limitation;

· use the software for commercial software hosting services.
9. MICROSOFT .NET BENCHMARK TESTING. The software includes one or
more components of the .NET Framework 3.0 (".NET Components"). You
may conduct internal benchmark testing of those components. You may
disclose the results of any benchmark test of those components,
provided that you comply with the conditions set forth at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406. Notwithstanding any
other agreement you may have with Microsoft, if you disclose such
benchmark test results, Microsoft shall have the right to disclose the
results of benchmark tests it conducts of your products that compete
with the applicable .NET Component, provided it complies with the same
conditions set forth at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406.
10. BACKUP COPY. You may make one backup copy of the software media.
You may use it only to reinstall the software.
11. DOCUMENTATION. Any person that has valid access to your computer
or internal network may copy and use the documentation for your
internal, reference purposes.
12. NOT FOR RESALE SOFTWARE. You may not sell software marked as
"NFR" or "Not for Resale."
13. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed
for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this
agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you
upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software
you upgraded from, except as permitted in the Downgrade section below
(Ultimate edition).
14. Proof of License.
a. If you acquired the software on a device, or on a disc or
other media, a genuine Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity label
with a genuine copy of the software identifies licensed software. To
be valid, this label must be affixed to the device or appear on the
manufacturer's or installer's packaging. If you receive the label
separately, it is invalid. You should keep label on the device or the
packaging that has the label on it to prove that you are licensed to
use the software. If the device comes with more than one genuine
Certificate of Authenticity label, you may use each version of the
software identified on those labels.
b. To identify genuine Microsoft software, see
