These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you.  Please read them.  They apply to the software named above including documentation, sample applications, utilities, service packs and other technical information and materials provided as part of this Virtual Hard Disk Image (all collectively referred to as the "software"), which includes the media on which you received it, if any.  The terms also apply to any Microsoft Internet-based services for this software.

BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.

AS DESCRIBED BELOW, USING SOME FEATURES ALSO OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF CERTAIN STANDARD COMPUTER INFORMATION FOR INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.

THE SOFTWARE IS TIME SENSITIVE AND YOUR RIGHT TO USE THE SOFTWARE IS LIMITED TO A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME.  PLEASE REFER TO SECTION 3 FOR DETAILS.

1.    INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.

·         Supersede Other Terms.  The terms of this license supersede the terms of any Microsoft software license term agreement that you may encounter in this software, even if installation of the software requires “acceptance” of a separate license term agreement.

·         Installation. You may install and use the software on your device of which you are running any virtualization software able to run Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) formats, including Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server.

·         Limited Use Rights. You may use the software in the virtual hard disk image only to internally evaluate it.  You may not use the software in a live operating environment, including without limitation staging on a server in a production environment, such as loading content prior to production use.

·         No Separation. The Microsoft software in the virtual hard disk image is licensed as a single piece of software.  You may not separate the Microsoft software component parts or any third party software component parts included in the software for use on more than one device or in more than one operating system environment.

·         Third Party Software.  The software may also contain third party (i.e. non-Microsoft) software programs (“Programs”).  These Programs are provided as a convenience solely for purposes of evaluating the software.  Your use of such Programs is subject to any additional conditions of any license agreement contained in them

2.    INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.  Microsoft may provide Internet-based services with the software. It may change or cancel them at any time.  If Internet-based services are included within the software they are typically simulated for demo purposes in the Virtual Hard Drive Image and no transmission over the Internet takes place.  However, should the Virtual Hard Drive Image be configured to transmit over the Internet the following terms apply:

a.    Consent for Internet-Based Services.  The software features described below 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, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=38670.  BY USING THESE FEATURES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION.  Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.

i.      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 the device where you installed the software.  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.  To provide the content, these features send to Microsoft the type of operating system, name and version of the software you are using, type of browser and language code of the device where you installed the software.  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 based on the x.509 standard.  These digital certificates confirm the identity of Internet users sending x.509 standard encrypted information.  The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation lists.  These security features operate only when you use the Internet.

·         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 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=51331.

·         Windows Media Digital Rights Management.  Content owners use Windows Media digital rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights.   The 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 Rights Management Services.  The software contains a feature that allows you to create content that cannot be printed, copied or sent to others without your permission. You must connect to Microsoft to use this feature for the first time.  Once a year, you must re-connect to Microsoft to update it. For more information, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52646. You may choose not to use this feature.

b.    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.

3.    TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE.  The software will stop running on May 24, 2009.  You will not receive any other notice.  You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.

4.    NO ACTIVATION.  To prevent its unlicensed use, the software contains activation enforcement technology.  Because this is an evaluation-only license, you are not licensed to activate the software for any purpose even if it prompts you to do so. 

5.    PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE.  The software contains pre-release versions of Microsoft software products identified above as “Community Technology Preview”. This software may not work the way a final version of the software will.  We may change it for the final, commercial version. We also may not release a commercial version.

6.    FEEDBACK.  If you give feedback about the software to Microsoft, you give to Microsoft, without charge, the right to use, share and commercialize your feedback in any way and for any purpose.  You also give to third parties, without charge, any patent rights needed for their products, technologies and services to use or interface with any specific parts of a Microsoft software or service that requires Microsoft to license its software or documentation to third parties because Microsoft includes your feedback in them.  These rights survive this agreement.

7.    .NET FRAMEWORK BENCHMARK TESTING. The .NET Framework 2.0 component of the Windows operating systems (“.NET Component”) is included with the software.  You may conduct internal benchmark testing of the .NET Component.  You may disclose the results of any benchmark test of the .NET Component, provided that you comply with the following terms:  (1) you must disclose all the information necessary for replication of the tests, including complete and accurate details of your benchmark testing methodology, the test scripts/cases, tuning parameters applied, hardware and software platforms tested, the name and version number of any third party testing tool used to conduct the testing, and complete source code for the benchmark suite/harness that is developed by or for you and used to test both the .NET Component and the competing implementation(s); (2) you must disclose the date(s) that you conducted the benchmark tests, along with specific version information for all Microsoft software products tested, including the .NET Component; (3) your benchmark testing was performed using all performance tuning and best practice guidance set forth in the product documentation and/or on Microsoft’s support web sites, and uses the latest updates, patches and fixes available for the .NET Component and the relevant Microsoft operating system; (4) it shall be sufficient if you make the disclosures provided for above at a publicly available location such as a website, so long as every public disclosure of the results of your benchmark test expressly identifies the public site containing all required disclosures; and (5) nothing in this provision shall be deemed to waive any other right that you may have to conduct benchmark testing.  The foregoing obligations shall not apply to your disclosure of the results of any customized benchmark test of the .NET Component, whereby such disclosure is made under confidentiality in conjunction with a bid request by a prospective customer, such customer’s application(s) are specifically tested and the results are only disclosed to such specific customer.  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 .NET Component, provided it complies with the same conditions above.

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.    You may not

·         disclose the results of any benchmark tests of the software to any third party without Microsoft’s prior written approval.  However, this does not apply to the Microsoft .NET Framework (see above);

·         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;

·         make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
