Re: XP Embedded Licenseing

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, that is what we'll be doing. The equipment that we design will be sold
to a end customer. While we're not "selling" them the OS, it is included as
a line item on the BOM. We have the OS image on a boot DVD using SDI
manager and another CD with our application install.

I assume that what we are doing, would be ok, but legally my assumptions
won't work. I'd need some type of verbiage that says this is normal.

Hi Bill, I'm not sure i understand what your question is since the
scenario you describe appears that you're manufacturing an embedded device
with our OS and selling that device, which is normal. But the best bet for
you to get licensing questions answered properly is to ask your Windows
Embedded Distributor that you're purchasing the runtime licenses from and
the Tools from. The distributors are trained by Microsoft in all things
related to licensing wrt embedded devices running an OS from Microsoft.

If you ever have problems communicating with your distributor please let
us know, you can contact the team through our e-mail link on the side of
our blog listed below.

Hello

I'm rather new to Xp Embedded and I'm sure my question has been asked a
thousand times over, but I can't find any concrete information on this
topic - XP Embedded licensing.

The company I work for creates, uses and sells customer test equipment
and the O.S. we are looking to use is XP Embedded, which is fine, but
here is my question(s). The test equipment that we make has a computer
running XP Embedded and we will be selling our product to our outside the
company customer. Now we don't actually sell the O.S. it is just aline
item on the B.O.M.

What's the MS Embedded official stance on this? I'm worried that our
company could be in jeopardy of violating some licenses agreement and I
if the question is ever asked, I'd like to provide some written document
that states we can or can not do this.

Thanks
Bill
