to permit any Device to use, access, display or run other
executable software residing on the Workstation Computer,

the manner described during the setup sequence of the
Product. You can activate the Product through the use
of the Internet or telephone; toll charges may apply.
You may also need to reactivate the Product if you modify
your computer hardware or alter the Product. There are
technological measures in this Product that are designed
to prevent unlicensed or illegal use of the Product.
You agree that we may use those measures.
* Storage/Network? Use. You may also store or install a copy
of the Product on a storage device, such as a network

shared or used concurrently on different Workstation
Computers.
* Reservation of Rights. Microsoft reserves all rights not
expressly granted to you in this EULA.

unless we provide other terms along with the update,
supplement, add-on component, or Internet-based services
component. Microsoft reserves the right to discontinue any
Internet-based services provided to you or made available
to you through the use of the Product. This EULA does not
grant you any rights to use the Windows Media Format

Workstation Computer. After the transfer, you must
completely remove the Product from the former Workstation

Product may make a one-time transfer of the Product to
another end user. The transfer has to include all
component parts, media, printed materials, this EULA, and
if applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity. The
transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a
consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving
the transferred Product must agree to all the EULA terms.
No Rental. You may not rent, lease, lend or provide
commercial hosting services to third parties with the
Product.
5. LIMITATION ON REVERSE ENGINEERING,

7. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND
LIMITATIONS.

other applications installed on the Workstation Computer
to be used remotely between two or more computers, even
if the Product or application is installed on only one
Workstation Computer. You may use NetMeeting?, Remote
Assistance, and Remote Desktop with all Microsoft products;
provided however, use of these technologies with
certain Microsoft products may require an additional
license. For Microsoft and non-Microsoft products, you
should consult the license agreement accompanying the
applicable product or contact the applicable licensor

Assistance, or Remote Desktop is permitted without an
additional license.
* Consent to Use of Data. You agree that Microsoft and its

identifies you.
* Internet Gaming/Update? Features. If you choose to utilize
the Internet gaming or update features within the
Product, it is necessary to use certain computer system,
hardware, and software information to implement the
features. By using these features, you explicitly
authorize Microsoft or its designated agent to access
and utilize the necessary information for Internet gaming
and/or updating purposes. Microsoft may use this
information solely to improve our products or to provide
customized services or technologies to you. Microsoft
may disclose this information to others, but not in a
form that personally identifies you.

Microsoft may automatically check the version of the

and may provide upgrades or fixes to the Product that
will be automatically downloaded to your Workstation
Computer.
* Security Updates. Content providers are using the digital
rights management technology ("Microsoft DRM") contained
in this Product to protect the integrity of their content
("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property,
including copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Owners of
such Secure Content ("Secure Content Owners") may, from
time to time, request Microsoft to provide security
related updates to the Microsoft DRM components of the
Product ("Security Updates") that may affect your ability
to copy, display and/or play Secure Content through
Microsoft software or third party applications that
utilize Microsoft DRM. You therefore agree that, if
you elect to download a license from the Internet which
enables your use of Secure Content, Microsoft may, in
conjunction with such license, also download onto your
computer such Security Updates that a Secure Content
Owner has requested that Microsoft distribute. Microsoft
will not retrieve any personally identifiable
information, or any other information, from your computer
by downloading such Security Updates.

11. LIMITED WARRANTY FOR PRODUCT ACQUIRED IN
THE US AND CANADA.
Microsoft warrants that the Product will perform
substantially in accordance with the accompanying
materials for a period of ninety days from the date of
receipt.
If an implied warranty or condition is created by
your state/jurisdiction and federal or state/provincial law
prohibits disclaimer of it, you also have an implied
warranty or condition, BUT ONLY AS
TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE PERIOD
OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY (NINETY DAYS).
AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED AFTER THE
NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND.
Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so the above
limitation may not apply to you.
Any supplements or updates to the Product, including without
limitation, any (if any) service packs or hot fixes
provided to you after the expiration of the ninety day
Limited Warranty period are not covered by any warranty or
condition, express, implied or statutory.
LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; NO CONSEQUENTIAL
OR OTHER DAMAGES. Your exclusive remedy for any breach
of this Limited Warranty is as set forth below. Except
for any refund elected by Microsoft, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED
TO ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, if
the Product does not meet Microsoft's Limited Warranty,
and, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, even
if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. The terms
of Section 13 below ("Exclusion of Incidental,
Consequential and Certain Other Damages") are also
incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Some states/
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This
Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You
may have others which vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction. YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Microsoft's
and its suppliers' entire liability and your exclusive
remedy shall be, at Microsoft's option from time to time
exercised subject to applicable law, (a) return of the
price paid (if any) for the Product, or (b) repair or
replacement of the Product, that does not meet this
Limited Warranty and that is returned to Microsoft with
a copy of your receipt. You will receive the remedy
elected by Microsoft without charge, except that you are
responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g. cost of
shipping the Product to Microsoft). This Limited Warranty
is void if failure of the Product has resulted from
accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus.
Any replacement Product will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30)
days, whichever is longer. Outside the United States or
Canada, neither these remedies nor any product support
services offered by Microsoft are available without proof
of purchase from an authorized international source. To
exercise your remedy, contact: Microsoft, Attn. Microsoft
Sales Information Center/One? Microsoft Way/Redmond?, WA
