MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS FOR A VIRTUAL HARD DISK IMAGE OF AN EVALUATION COPY OF THE FOLLOWING MICROSOFT PRODUCT:
WINDOWS 7 
MICROSOFT WINDOWS INTERNET EXPLORER 8 

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 evaluation software named above which may include associated media, printed materials, “online” or electronic documentation, and Internet-based services provided as part of this Virtual Hard Disk Image (all collectively referred to as the “software”).  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, 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.
If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.
1.	INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.  
•	The terms of this license supersede the terms of any Microsoft end user license agreement that you may encounter in this software, even if installation of the software requires “acceptance” of a separate end user license agreement.
•	You may install and use one copy of 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.  
•	You may use the software only to evaluate it and provide feedback to Microsoft.
•	The virtual hard disk image is licensed as a single piece of software.  You may not separate its component parts for use on more than one device or in more than one operating system environment.
•	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.
•	Icons, images and sounds. While the software is running, you may use but not share its icons, images, sounds, and media.
2.	RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.  The software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and treaties.  Microsoft or its suppliers own the title, copyright, and other intellectual property rights in the software.  All rights not expressly granted to you in this license are reserved.  The software is licensed, not sold.
	3.	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.

	4. 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.

	5. 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 7 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 7 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.
6.	TIME-SENSITIVE SOFTWARE.  The software will stop running thirty (30) days after you first run the software.  You will not receive any other notice.  You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.
7.	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 we include your feedback in them.  These rights survive this agreement. 
8.	MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK BENCHMARK TESTING.  The software includes the .NET Framework component (“.NET Component”).  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.
9.	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
