Following standpoint from authorized distributor side:
For every XP-Embedded image on your HW platform, you need
a runtime license. This is "only" a COA (license sticker) you have to buy
from
a embedded authorized distributor.
You can find all of the here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/embedded/disti/distributors.mspx
Before buying such licenses, you have to sign an Embedded OEM agreement
to microsoft. (aka CLA). Don't worry, no quantities are defined in the
agreement...)
:-)
The price for a XP-Embedded license vary between 80 USD and 100 USD,
regarding
the quantity you will buy.

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
