Microsoft Licensing Product Use Rights

Worldwide English July 2005
Introduction

With the release of the July 2005 edition of Microsoft’s Product Use Rights, you will notice several improvements.

These product use rights:

  • Group all the Microsoft products into nine licensing models. Each model has a consistent set oflicenseterms.
  • Identify the products for each licensing model.
  • Standardize the terminology across the licensing models.
  • Introduce new design elements that make it easier to find products and their license terms.

We intend for these improvements to help you license and manage Microsoft products.

Generally, the new licensing model categories do not alter the license terms for existing products. Any changes are included in the summary of changes, together with new and removed products.

General License Terms. The General License Terms that follow the Table of Contents apply to all products.

Licensing Models. These product use rights include nine sections; one for each licensing model. They are:

  • Desktop Applications
  • Desktop Operating Systems
  • Developer Tools
  • Online Services
  • Servers – Operating Systems
  • Servers – Management Servers
  • Servers – Server/CAL
  • Servers – Per Processor
  • Servers – Specialty Servers

The Table of Contents and the introduction to each section list the products that fall into each licensing model. In each section, we provide the standard license terms for the licensing model, and then describe any product-specific license terms for products in that licensing model.

Software Assurance Benefits. Appendix 1 contains license terms that apply to Software Assurance benefits. The Product List describes these benefits.

Product Pools. Please note that the licensing models are not product pools. The Product List indicates which ofthe three pools (applications, systems, servers) each product falls into.

License Terms for a Product. To find the license terms for a product, you should identify the licensing model for that product (see the Table of Contents). The license terms that apply to your use of the product are:

  • the General License Terms;
  • the standard license terms for that licensing model; and
  • any product-specific license terms for that product (included at the end of the licensing modelsection).

Products no longer available worldwide. Products no longer available worldwide may not appear in these product use rights. You will need to review a previous version of these product use rights for those products’ license terms. To find the last Product Use Rights document that a product appeared in, you can review the list maintained at If you do not have the version you need, please contact your account manager or reseller.

Summary of Changes to Product Use Rights

We designed these product use rights to help you license and manage Microsoft products. For use of any existing product, you may refer to these or any prior update to the product use rights that applied to your use ofthe product or update.

This update includes the following changes:

  • Demonstration rights for SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. We extended installation and use rights related to demonstration of your programs.
  • Distributable code. We standardized the license terms for Distributable Code for consistency across Microsoft products. Please refer to the Distributable Code clause in the General License Terms.
  • Downgrade Rights for Developer Tools. The new license terms for Developer Tools permit the licensed user to run both the licensed version and a prior version of the software at the same time.
  • SQL Fail-over Server. The fail-over grant for SQL is no longer limited to clustered environments.
  • SQL Server with Management Server Software. If your edition of the management server software includes SQL Server 2000 technology, you may use it solely to support that management serversoftware.

This update includes the following additions (the licensing model is included as a reference):

  • Digital Image Suite 2006 (Desktop Applications)
  • Encarta Premium 2006 (Desktop Applications)
  • GroupBoard Workspace (Specialty Servers)
