Validation may also check for certain malicious or unauthorized software related to such unauthorized changes. A validation check confirming that you are properly licensed permits you to continue to use the software, certain features of the software or to obtain additional benefits. You are not permitted to circumvent validation. This is to prevent unlicensed use of the software. For more information, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/faq.

The software will from time to time perform a validation check of the software. The check may be initiated by the software or Microsoft. To enable the activation function and validation checks, the software may from time to time require updates or additional downloads of the validation, licensing or activation functions of the software. The updates or downloads are required for the proper functioning of the software and may be downloaded and installed without further notice to you. During or after a validation check, the software may send information about the software, the computer and the results of the validation check to Microsoft. This information includes, for example, the version and product key of the software, any unauthorized changes made to the validation, licensing or activation functions of the software, any related malicious or unauthorized software found and the Internet protocol address of the computer. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you, except that Microsoft may use and share the information to prevent unlicensed use of the software. By using the software, you consent to the transmission of this information. For more information about validation and what is sent during or after a validation check, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/genuine/privacy-statement.

If, after a validation check, the software is found to be counterfeit, improperly licensed, a non-genuine Windows product, or include unauthorized changes, the functionality and experience of using the software will be affected, for example:

Microsoft may repair the software, remove, quarantine or disable any unauthorized changes that may interfere with the proper use of the software, including circumvention of the activation or validation functions of the software, or check and remove malicious or unauthorized software known to be related to such unauthorized changes, or provide notices that the software is improperly licensed or a non-genuine Windows product, and you may receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the software, or need to follow Microsoft's instructions to be licensed to use the software and reactivate, and you may not be able to obtain certain updates or upgrades from Microsoft.

Web Workloads (also referred to as “Internet Web Solutions”) are publicly accessible and consist solely of web pages, websites, web applications, web services, and/or POP3 mail serving. For clarity, access to content, information, and applications served by the software within an Internet Web Solution is not limited to your or your affiliates' employees.

Software in Internet Web Solutions is used to run:

  • web server software (for example, Microsoft Internet Information Services), and management or security agents (for example, the System Center Operations Manager agent).
  • database engine software (for example, Microsoft SQL Server) solely to support Internet Web Solutions.
  • the Domain Name System (DNS) service to provide resolution of Internet names to IP addresses as long as that is not the sole function of that instance of the software.

Your Use Rights

If you comply with your volume licensing agreement, you may use the software and online services as expressly permitted in these Product Use Rights.

Rights to use other versions

For any permitted copy or instance, you may create, store, install, run or access in place of the version licensed, a copy or instance of a prior version, different permitted language version, or different available platform version (for example, 32 bit or 64 bit). You may use different versions of components only as permitted under the Product-Specific License Terms.  The use of an earlier version under these downgrade rights does not extend the support lifecycle of the earlier version.

Third Party Software

The software may contain third party proprietary programs that are licensed under separate terms that are presented to you. The software may also contain third party open source programs that Microsoft, not the third party, licenses to you under Microsoft's license terms. Notices, if any, for the third party open source programs are included for your information only.

Pre-release Code

Pre-release code is subject to any specific terms that accompany it.

Updates and Supplements

We may update or supplement the software you license. If so, you may use that update or supplement with the software, subject to any additional terms that accompany the update or supplement.

No Commercial Hosting

You may not host the products for commercial hosting services.

Technical Limitations

You must comply with any technical limitations in the products that only allow you to use them in certain ways.  You may not work around them.  

Other Rights

Rights to access the software on any device do not give you any right to implement Microsoft patents or other Microsoft intellectual property in software or devices that access that device.

Documentation

Any person that has valid access to your computer or internal network may copy and use the documentation for your internal reference purposes.  Documentation does not include electronic books.

Outsourcing Software Management

You may install and use permitted copies of the software on Servers and other devices that are under the day-to-day management and control of third parties, provided all such Servers and other devices are and remain fully dedicated to your use. You are responsible for all of the obligations under your volume licensing agreement regardless of the physical location of the hardware upon which the software is used.

License Reassignment

Most, but not all, licenses may be reassigned from one device or user to another.  The general rules governing license reassignment are described below, along with some special rules for certain products and license types.

Limitations on License Reassignment

Except as permitted below, you may not reassign licenses on a short-term basis (within 90 days of the last assignment), nor may you reassign licenses for Rental Rights, or Software Assurance separately from the underlying license to which the Software Assurance is attached.

Condition on License Reassignment

When you reassign a license from one device or user to another, you must remove the software or block access from the former device or from the former user's device.

Special Considerations for Certain Products and License Types

  • CALs, Management Licenses and User/Device Subscription Licenses (SLs).  You may reassign a CAL, Management License or user or device SL on a short-term basis, to cover a user's absence or the unavailability of a device that is out of service.  Reassignment of these licenses for any other purpose or timeframe must be permanent.  This right does not apply to Enterprise Mobility Suite Add-on User SLs, Enterprise Mobility Suite User SLs, Windows desktop operating system User SLs, or Window Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses or User SLs.
  • Early Reassignment Due to Hardware Failure.  You may reassign sooner than within 90 days of the last assignment if you retire the Licensed Device or server due to permanent hardware failure.  This right applies to: all server licenses (other than CALs and Management Licenses), Enterprise Mobility Suite and Enterprise Mobility Suite Add-on User SLs, Windows Virtual Desktop Access subscription licenses, VDI suites, and Visual Studio Load Test Virtual User Pack 2010.
  • Reassignment of Software Assurance Related Rights.  Licenses that are granted or acquired in connection with Software Assurance coverage (e.g., Windows Thin PC, MDOP, User SLs for Software Assurance) generally must be reassigned as and when the qualifying license and Software Assurance are reassigned.
  • Subscription Licenses for the Windows desktop operating system.  You may reassign your Windows (VDA) subscription licenses and Software Assurance for the Windows desktop operating system User SLs, subject to the general limitation against short-term reassignment and assignment rules stated in the Product List.
  • Reassignment of Software Assurance for Windows per Device and Windows Industry operating systems.  You may reassign Software Assurance coverage and the underlying Windows Enterprise Upgrade license or Windows Industry Enterprise Upgrade license to a replacement device, but not on a short-term basis, and only if that replacement device is licensed for a qualifying operating system as required in the Product List; provided, however, you must remove any related desktop operating system upgrades from the former device.  Reassignment of a Windows Enterprise Upgrade license or Windows Industry Enterprise Upgrade license may only be done if the upgrade license is covered by active Software Assurance.
  • License Mobility within Server Farms and Server Re-partitioning.  You may reassign certain server licenses on a short-term basis under License Mobility within Server Farms rights and Server Repartitioning.

Product Activation

Some products and online services are protected by technological measures and require activation and a Volume License product key to install or access them.  Activation associates the use of the software with a specific device.  For information about when activation or a product key is required, see the Product Activation section on http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/activation.  You are responsible for both the use of product keys assigned to you and activation of products using your Key Management Service (KMS) machines. Volume License product keys are confidential and subject to the confidentiality provision in your volume licensing agreement with Microsoft. You may not disclose product keys to third parties at any time, even after your volume licensing agreement with Microsoft terminates or expires and notwithstanding any time limitation to the contrary.

KMS and Multiple Activation Key (MAK) Activation

During Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation, the software will send information about the software and the device to Microsoft.  During Key Management Service (KMS) host activation, the software will send information about the KMS host software and the host device to Microsoft.  KMS client devices activated using KMS do not send information to Microsoft. However, they require periodic reactivation with your KMS host.  The information sent to Microsoft during MAK or KMS host activation includes:

  • the version, language and product key of the software
  • the Internet protocol address of the device
  • information derived from the hardware configuration of the device.

For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/product-activation.aspx.  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 are not licensed 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.

Proper Use of KMS

You may not provide unsecured access to your KMS machines over an uncontrolled network such as the Internet.

Unauthorized Use of MAK or KMS Keys

Microsoft may take any of these actions related to unauthorized use or disclosure of MAK or KMS keys: prevent further activations, deactivate, or otherwise block the product key from activation or validation.

Key deactivation may require the customer to acquire a new product key from Microsoft.

Additional Functionality/Optional Service

We may provide additional functionality for or an optional add-on service to the products. Other license terms or use rights, and fees may apply.

Using More than One Product or Functionality Together

You need a license for each product and separately licensed functionality used on a device or by a user.  For example, if you use Office on Windows, you need licenses for both Office and Windows.  Likewise, to access Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server you need both a Windows Server CAL and a Remote Desktop Services CAL.

Font Components

While you run the software or use an online service provided by Microsoft, you may use the fonts included with or installed by that software or online service, respectively, 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.

Windows Software Components

The software includes one or more of the following Windows Software Components: Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Data Access Components, Powershell software and certain .dlls related to Microsoft Build, Windows Identity Foundation, Windows Library for JAVAScript, Debghelp.dll, and Web Deploy technologies. All these are part of Windows software. Except as provided in Benchmark Testing below, the license terms for Microsoft Windows apply to your use of these components.

Benchmark Testing

Software

You must obtain Microsoft's prior written approval to disclose to a third party the results of any benchmark test of the server software or additional software that comes with it.  This applies to products in the Microsoft Servers or Microsoft Developer Tools Licensing Models (see Table of Contents).  This does not apply to the .NET Framework (see below) or to Windows Server.  It, however, does apply to SQL Technology, in any, licensed with these products.

Microsoft .NET Framework

The software may include one or more components of the .NET Framework (“.NET Components”).  If so, 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.

Products That Include SQL Server Technology

If your edition of the software includes a SQL Server database software product licensed under the Product-Specific license terms (“SQL Server Database”) you may run that SQL Server Database in one or more physical or virtual operating system environments on any of your servers to support the software.  You may also use the same instances of SQL Server Database to support other products that include any version of SQL Server Database.  You do not need SQL Server CALs for such use.

You may not share that instance to support any product that is not licensed with SQL Server Database.

Servers -- Self-Hosted Applications

The following additional licensing requirements and/or use rights apply to Self-Hosted Applications.

Self-Hosted Applications means those products for which the Product-Specific License Terms that indicate “Self-Hosted Applications: Yes”.

Despite any terms to the contrary in your volume licensing agreement including these Product Use Rights, you may run licensed copies of Self-Hosted Applications that interact directly or indirectly with your own software to create a unified solution (“Unified Solution”) and permit third parties to use it, subject to the terms below.

Requirements

You must have the required Microsoft licenses and maintain Software Assurance coverage for:

  • the Self-Hosted Applications run as part of the Unified Solution; and
  • all access licenses used to make the Unified Solution available to external users (See Universal License Terms, Definitions).

All Microsoft software used to create and deliver the Unified Solution must:

  • be licensed through a Volume Licensing program that is subject to these license terms (e.g., Enterprise Agreement, Select Plus Agreement, Open License Agreement) and not any other (e.g., Services Provider License Agreement, Independent Software Vendor Royalty License and Distribution Agreement); and
  • be marked as ‘Yes' for ‘Self Hosting of Applications Allowed' in these license terms.

Your software must:

  • add significant and primary functionality to the Self-Hosted Applications that are part of the Unified Solution (dashboards, HTML editors, utilities, and similar technologies alone are not a primary service and/or application of a Unified Solution);
  • be the principal service and/or application of the Unified Solution, and must not allow direct access to the Self-Hosted Applications by any end user of the Unified Solution;
  • be delivered to end users over the Internet, a telephone network, or a private network from servers physically dedicated to you and under the day to day control of you or a third party other than the end user of the Unified Solution (the Unified Solution may not be loaded onto the end user's device); and
  • be owned, not licensed, by you, except that your software may include non-substantive third party software that is embedded in, or operates in support of, your software.

All use of the Self-Hosted Applications remains governed by the license terms for those products. You may not transfer licenses acquired under your volume licensing agreement except as permitted in that agreement.

Changes to Use Rights

Despite the terms of your volume licensing agreement, we may modify or discontinue the above use rights at any time. However, if we do so, these use rights and the terms and conditions of your license agreement continue to apply to your use of the Self-Hosted Applications under licenses acquired before the effective date of that change until the end of your current term of Software Assurance coverage.

Servers -- TechNet Subscription Media

See Applicable Notices: Data Transfer

The Licensed User assigned a TechNet Subscription may install copies of the software on the user devices solely for evaluation.  You may not use the software in a live operating environment, in a staging environment, in an application development environment. Except as provided here, the General License terms of the Developer Tools section of the Product Use Rights applies to the use of the TechNet Subscription Media.  Please see the Product List for additional TechNet Software Assurance benefits.

Step-Up Licenses

A Step-Up License permits you to run a premium edition in place of the qualifying product. When your Step-Up License becomes perpetual, it permanently replaces your rights to the qualifying product.

Software Assurance Product Support Services

The way you use the software may not be supportable. It may also require you to buy more support services.   Each of us may use information acquired in connection with support services as long as that use does not disclose the other's confidential information.   The license terms for the underlying product apply to your use of any fixes.

SQL Server – Fail-over Servers

For any OSE in which you use Running Instances of the server software, you may use up to the same number of passive fail-over Running Instances in a separate OSE on any Server in anticipation of a fail-over event.

The following additional requirements apply if you have licensed the software by Physical Core or individual Virtual OSE under the Per Core licensing model:

  • If you license based on Physical Cores and the OSE in which you use the passive fail-over Running Instances is on a separate Server, the number of Physical Cores on the separate Server must not exceed the number of Physical Cores on the Licensed Server and the Core Factor for the Physical Processors in that Server must be the same or lower than the Core Factor for the Physical Processors in the Licensed Server.
  • If you license by individual Virtual OSE, the number of Hardware Threads used in that separate OSE must not exceed the number of Hardware Threads used in the OSE in which the active Running Instances are used.

In order to utilize this benefit, you must comply with the following terms:

  • Maintain Software Assurance coverage on the server licenses and core licenses under which you run your licensed software and for all CALs under which you access your licensed software.
  • Your right to run the passive fail-over instances ends when your Software Assurance coverage ends.

Fail-over server rights do not apply in the case of software moved to shared third party servers under License Mobility through Software Assurance.

SQL Server 2014 Enterprise and Biz Talk Server 2013 Enterprise -- Unlimited Virtualization

The license terms for SQL Server 2014 Enterprise and Biz Talk Server 2013 Enterprise in the Servers – Per Core section of the Product Use Rights, as supplemented below, provide your license terms for the software under core licenses with active Software Assurance coverage.  In the case of any conflict between the applicable terms in the Servers – Per Core section and the license terms below, the license terms below govern.

For each server to which you have assigned the required number of licenses as provided in the “Physical Cores of a Server” section, you may run on the licensed server any number of instances of the server software in any number of physical and/or virtual OSEs, provided you have active Software Assurance coverage for those licenses.

SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse – Feature Updates

We may make feature releases (e.g., appliance updates) available between major product releases.  Feature releases will be available only to customers with Software Assurance coverage for the product.  The Product Use Rights for the product, as supplemented in this Appendix 2: Software Assurance Benefits, govern your use of feature releases for which you are eligible.

See the Universal License Terms, Definitions for meanings of “virtual OSE” and “manage.” The license terms applicable to System Center Configuration Manager Client Management Licenses (“CMLs”) as set forth in the Management Server section of these Product Use Rights, and supplemented here, apply to your use of System Center Configuration Manager software under the following licenses with active Software Assurance coverage: System Center Configuration Manager CMLs, Core CALs, and Enterprise CALs (each, a “VDI qualifying license”). You may use the software to manage, at any one time, up to four virtual OSEs in which software used remotely from the device or by the user to which that VDI qualifying license has been assigned, is running. Those virtual OSEs may be on up to four different virtual desktop infrastructure hosts. Your right to use the software as permitted here expires when Software Assurance on your System Center Configuration Manager CMLs, Core CALs or Enterprise CALs expires.
