MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
WINDOWS VISTA <http://forums.techguy.org/#> HOME BASIC
WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based
on where you live, one
of its affiliates <http://forums.techguy.org/#>) and you. Please read them.
They apply to the software named above, which includes
the media on which you received it, if any. 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.
By using the software <http://forums.techguy.org/#>, you accept these terms.
If you do not accept them, do not use the
software. Instead, return it to the retailer for a refund or
credit<http://forums.techguy.org/#>.
If you cannot obtain a refund
there, contact Microsoft or the Microsoft affiliate serving your country for
information about Microsoft's
refund policies. See www.microsoft.com/worldwide. In the United States and
Canada, call (800)
MICROSOFT or see www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm.
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. Before you use the software under a license,
you must
assign that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device is
the "licensed device."
A hardware partition or blade 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. Except
as provided in the
Storage and Network Use (Ultimate edition) sections below, 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.
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. 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," 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, 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 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. Microsoft reserves 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
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights. You may not

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.
14. PROOF OF LICENSE.
a. Genuine Proof of License. If you acquired the software on a disc or other
media, a genuine
