  In the context of the different volume licensing programs, the term "customer" means:
  • Open License Program: "Licensee" or "you"
  • Select and Select Plus Programs: "Enrolling Customer", "Lead Customer Affiliate", "you", "Enrolled Affiliate", or "Affiliates"

  Right to Migrate to BackOffice User CALs for Enterprise Agreement and Upgrade Advantage Customers
  The right to migrate to User CALs applies to customers with active Upgrade Advantage (or other upgrade protection coverage) for BackOffice CALs as of April 1, 2003. See the “Transitioning to User CALs” note below. Any such customer under and active Enterprise Enrollment as of April 1, 2003 may also migrate to User CALs from any BackOffice CALs acquired under the annual true-up process.
  
  Transitioning between User and Device CALs
  Customers with current Software Assurance for CALs can switch between User and Device upon renewal of their Software Assurance coverage. This transition does not change the CAL edition (i.e. Standard to Enterprise). Please refer to the Product Notes for the individual products
  
  Transitioning between User and OSE client MLs
  Customers with current Software Assurance for client MLs can switch between User and OSE upon renewal of their Software Assurance coverage. Please refer to the Product Notes for the individual products for details.
  
  At Renewal
  If both User and Device CALs are available, customers may renew Software Assurance for either type. The product use rights for the type of CAL for which Software Assurance is ordered determine how the CALs can be allocated and used. Enterprise enrollment customers choosing to order Software Assurance for User CALs may acquire CALs based on their user count. Please refer to the notes for the individual products for details.
  
  Surplus CALs
  Transitioning between User and Device CALs, as permitted above, could result in a surplus of CALs. Customers may reallocate surplus CALs as their numbers of users or devices grow. At renewal time, customers may choose to maintain Software Assurance on surplus CALs. Customers will not be able to later renew Software Assurance on any surplus CAL for which coverage has lapsed.
  
  Surplus MLs
  Transitioning between User and OSE client MLs, as permitted above, could result in a surplus of MLs. Customers may reallocate surplus MLs as their numbers of users or managed OSEs grow. At renewal time, customers may choose to maintain Software Assurance on surplus MLs. Customers will not be able to later renew Software Assurance on any surplus ML for which coverage has lapsed.
  
  Evidence of Licenses

• EI Controls Restrictions
  
  Export of certain Microsoft products from the United States is regulated under "EI Controls" of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR 730-744) of the U.S. Commerce Department, Bureau of Export Administration (BXA). For more information, please visit: www.microsoft.com/products/exporting/basics.htm
  
  
• Language Rights for Licenses Purchased under the Government Open License Program
  
  Products licensed with non-specific language SKUs offered under the Government Open License Program may be run in any one of the following language versions: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Croatian, English Hebrew, Indic, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Slovenian and Slovak.
  
  
• Maintenance Migration to Volume Licensing for CRM
  
  Customers who acquired Microsoft CRM licenses with Enhancement Program, Foundation Services or Unlimited Support through an authorized reseller outside the Volume Licensing programs have 90 days from expiration of those services to enroll in Software Assurance.
  
  
• Media
  
  Open License Media Purchase
  Definition
  "Media" means web-based download of Microsoft Volume Licensing Products from Microsoft's Volume Licensing Service Center portal or from Microsoft Volume Licensing CD/DVD Disk Kits.
  
  Customers under Open License may acquire for licensed products up to 30 days after expiration of their Open License Authorization Number. Customers may order media for the specific version of products licensed. Customers with Software Assurance may order media for the version of the covered product that is most current as of their Authorization Number expiration date. Customers with Software Assurance may order media for the corresponding non-English versions of covered products up to 30 days after those non-English versions are first available if the English version is available on or before the Authorization Number expiration date. A customer's right to run a particular language version of any product is determined by the license and/or Software Assurance ordered and related cross language rights, if any.
  
  
• Multilanguage Packs (MLPs) and Multilanguage User Interface (MUIs) Functionality
  
  MLPs and MUIs enable customers to run and switch between different language versions of licensed products. The right to use MLPs and MUIs varies by product, program and license type.
  • In the case of most server products (e.g., Windows Server), the MUI is included with the base product. Customers licensing those products may use the MUI subject to the use rights for those products.
  • In the case of Office System products (other than servers) and suites, as of October 1, 2008, the right to use the MLP is available to customers with active Software Assurance coverage on qualifying licenses (for details see Section 6). Under certain programs (e.g., Select), MLPs for Office System products and suites continue to be available separately outside Software Assurance.
  • In the case of Windows 7, the MUI is included with Windows 7 Enterprise, the edition of Windows 7 available through Software Assurance.
  The language versions with which customers are permitted to use MUIs and MLPs likewise varies by program, product and region.
  • As of October 1, 2008, customers acquiring the right to use MUIs and MLPs under an Enterprise Agreement or Open Value (Company-wide) agreement may use that functionality with licensed products in all language versions notwithstanding any limitations in those agreements against the use of certain languages.
  • Customers acquiring the right to use MUIs and MLP under agreements other than an Enterprise Agreement or Open Value (Company-wide) agreement (whether with the base product or through Software Assurance) remain subject to limitations (if any) in their agreement against the use of certain languages. For example, if a local language version of a product is licensed at a different price on the customer's pricelist, that customer's right to use other language versions in place of that version (with or without MUI or MLP functionality) may be limited. Customers should review their Licensing Agreement, or see their Microsoft Reseller or Account Manager for more information on their right to use other languages.
• Online Services Pricing and Payment Terms
  
  Online Services
  Online Services "(OLS)" is a subscription-based offering of software with services that are delivered online.
  
  Online Service Subscription Term
  The initial purchase of a new OLS subscription will determine the services subscription term length for the particular service the customer purchased. The customer can choose to select either a one-year subscription term or a subscription that ends on the same date as the customers' agreement term ("coterminous"). Select Plus does not offer the coterminous option, but does allow the customer to "Align to 2nd Affiliate Anniversary" which aligns the coverage to the second affiliate anniversary from the coverage start date.. The one-year subscription term might not align to and may not expire on the effective end date of the customer's agreement. If the one-year subscription terminates after the agreement term, the customer must have an active volume licensing agreement to order additional licenses or renew the service. If the customer makes additional purchases of a service, the subscription term of the additional purchase must align with the customer's existing subscription term for the same service. If pricing for additional orders of product or services is not addressed in the customer's existing agreement, the price we charge the billing party-of-record for additional quantities of products or services already acquired during that subscription term will be the same price we charged at the initial purchase of such products or services.
  
  Online Service Purchases and Auto-Renewal
  Customers must have an active Volume Licensing agreement to order or renew OLS subscriptions in Volume Licensing. An OLS subscription is automatically renewed the day after its subscription term expires, unless the customer chooses not to renew by (1) opting out of auto-renewal 30 days before the subscription expires, or (2) submitting a new order prior to the subscription expires. Upon the auto-renewal, Microsoft will invoice the billing party-of-record for the number of expiring licenses with the same subscription term option if the customer's initial agreement remains active. OLS subscriptions for government and academic customers will not be automatically renewed unless the customer chooses the auto-renewal option. Prices are reset at renewal.
  
  Managing Renewal and Auto-Renewal Status Customers will receive renewal notices prior to the end of their OLS subscription terms. Customers can cancel their renewal or change an auto-renewal order by acting at least 30 days before the end of the subscription term. Customers can also change their renewal order by placing an order with their reseller 30 days prior to the subscription expiration. Customers may cancel a subscription renewal by providing 30 day advance written notice to Microsoft on a form that is available from their Microsoft reseller or at http://microsoft.com/licensing/contracts. If the customer has chosen not to auto-renew their OLS subscription, and the customer does not place a new order within 60 days after the end of their subscription term, the OLS subscription expires and the service is de-provisioned. All renewals of services start a new subscription term that begins on the first day of the next calendar month after the prior subscription term expires.
  
  Customers may increase the OLS subscription commitment, but may not reduce the OLS subscription commitment during the term of their OLS Subscription, unless their agreements allow for such reduction. To ensure additional users are provisioned, the customer must place an order for every increase in subscription service.
  
  Online Services Cancellation

Customers choosing the coterminous subscription terms, or "align to 2nd Anniversary" in Select Plus, have the two following payment options: (1) Full payment at the time of the order covering the entire term of the subscription, or (2) Spread payments, first payment at the time of the order that covers the remainder of the current agreement year, with the remaining payment(s) due on each agreement anniversary (for Select Plus, affiliate anniversary is used in place of agreement anniversary). An additional, third option is available to Select Plus customers: order anniversary first payment at the time of the order that covers 12 months, with the remaining payment(s) due on each order anniversary (the last payment will cover the remainder between order anniversary and subscription coverage end date).
  
  Additionally, Open Value customers may also choose a monthly payment option. For the monthly payment option, a participating billing party-of-record is automatically invoiced each month during the term of the subscription for the quantity of subscriptions the customer has ordered.
  
  Pricing and payment terms for subscriptions acquired through resellers are determined by agreement between the customer and its reseller.

• Platform Independent Licenses
  
  Microsoft Office Standard, Professional Plus, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Office for Mac are “platform independent” licenses. A platform independent license allows for a product to be used on any computer platform (e.g., PC, Macintosh) that the software runs on, provided that the version used is the same or earlier than the original version that was licensed. For instance, a customer licensed for Office for Mac 2008 may choose to use that license to run Office Standard 2007, but could not use the license to run Office Standard 2010.
  
  Because the components of a product may vary by platform version, customers may only run the product with components corresponding to the components of the platform version they are licensed for. For example, customers licensed with Office for Mac 2008 can choose to run Office Standard 2007 since the components of Office Standard 2007 correspond to the components of Office for Mac 2008.
  
  Further, active Software Assurance coverage for a platform independent license permits a customer to use in place of the licensed product the most current version of either platform version of the product that becomes available during the term of the upgrade protection coverage (subject to the limitation on components addressed above). For example, a customer who has active Software Assurance for an Office for Mac license is eligible to use in place of Office for Mac the most current version of the corresponding edition of Office for Windows that is released during the term of their coverage.
  
  Microsoft SQL Server is a "platform independent" license. A platform independent license allows for a specific product to be used on any computer platform that the software runs on, provided that the version is the same or lower as the original version that was licensed.
  
  Further, a customer who enrolls a platform independent license in Software Assurance is eligible to use the most current version of that particular product which is available during the term of the upgrade protection coverage, regardless of platform (as long as only one version is installed/used at a time).
  
  
• Qualified Desktop for Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA)
  Despite anything in your Volume Licensing Agreement to the contrary, Qualified Desktops do not include any qualifying third party device from which your users solely access and use the software under Roaming Use Rights for the following:
  • Windows Software Assurance,
  • Windows Virtual Desktop Access,
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Suites,
  • MDOP for Software Assurance, and
  • Software Assurance for all editions of Office, Project and Visio to include Roaming Use Rights.
  A “qualifying third party device” is a device that is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by you or your affiliates (e.g., a third party’s public kiosk). For more information, please see the Product Use Rights.
  
• Qualified User Exemptions for Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA)
  A person who accesses server software or online services solely under the licenses identified in the following list is exempt from being counted as a Qualified User:
  • Business Productivity Online Deskless Worker Suite User Subscription License (USL)
  • SharePoint Online Deskless Worker USL
  • Exchange Online Deskless Worker USL
  • Licenses for server software products or online services that do not require individual licenses for users or devices accessing those products or online services (such as Client Access Licenses, Client Management Licenses, USLs and DSLs)
  • Any External Connector License
  These Qualified User exemptions apply to all EA and ESA customers, whether or not Qualified User exemptions are specifically contemplated in the terms and conditions of customers' agreements.
  
• Points and Order Minimums
  
  Select License, Select Plus, and Open License Volume have a "Point" count that indicates the point value assigned by Microsoft for each license. These point counts are used to calculate the volume pricing level applicable to a customer's agreement. When a given product has been assigned a "zero" point count, this means the product is offered in the program specified, but it has a point value of zero. For purposes of Select 4.0 agreements, "Point" is equivalent to "Unit".
  
  Select License requires a minimum order of 1,500 points per pool over the agreement term. Order minimum quantity requirements may be waived if a qualifying agreement is supplied.
  
  Select Plus requires a minimum order quantity of 500 points per pool during the first year. This order quantity requirement may be waived if a qualifying agreement is supplied.
  
  Open License requires a minimum order of 5 licenses, 5 SA, or any combination to establish an Authorization Number. For example, 2 License & Software Assurance and 1 Standard License would satisfy the 5 license minimum purchase required for entry into either program. Following is the assignment of unit counts to licenses:
  • Standard License: 1 license
  • Upgrade: 1 license
  • Software Assurance: 1 license
  • License & Software Assurance: 2 licenses
  • Upgrade & Software Assurance: 2 licenses
  • Work at Home License: 1 license
  • Step Up License: 1 license
  • License: 1 license
  • Subscription License: 1 license
  
  
  Open Value requires a minimum order of 5 U&SA, 5 L&SA, 5 SA, 5 Subscription Licenses, or any combination to enter into an agreement.
  
  Note: A single license for certain products in Open and Open Value satisfies the required 5-license minimum. See individual product notes to determine which products qualify for this exception.
  
  Campus and School License requires a minimum order of 300 units. The units are determined by multiplying the total number of application, system and CAL products selected by the total number of eligible PCs, or eligible FTE/Staff. Please note the minimum order requirement may vary by geographic region.
  
  Note: Campus and School customers are not eligible to choose application, system, Subscription License (user/device), and CAL products for only a portion of the PCs included in the subscription unless explicitly stated in the Product Condition Notes in the Product List.. For instance, if the subscription is for 100 total PCs, the application, system, Subscription License (user/device), and CAL products selected will be for all 100 PCs, even if only a portion of those PCs will run a particular product.
  
  
• Volume License Product Keys
  
  Product keys enable organizations to use the software and products they have licensed. All product keys are issued to a customer under a specific license agreement. To obtain your product keys, go to the Microsoft Volume License Services and/or eOpen web sites. You may also call the Activation Call Center. Please note that specific product keys cannot be obtained on the web portals and a list is available at the following web site.

  1. Commit to attaching Software Assurance on all of their platform products. This is most commonly available in the Enterprise Agreement and Open Value.
  2. Commit to attaching Software Assurance on all of their purchases under a particular product pool (Applications, Systems or Servers). This is referred to as Software Assurance Membership (SAM). This does not require a companywide commitment on Software Assurance. This is most commonly available in Select.

APPENDIX 1 - Software Assurance Benefits

These benefits require Software Assurance coverage, and in some cases Software Assurance Membership. Please see the Product List for details and a complete list of Software Assurance benefits. Except as noted below, these benefits expire when your Software Assurance coverage ends.

1. "Cold" Disaster Recovery Rights.
   For each instance of eligible server software you run in a physical or virtual operating system environment on a licensed server, you may temporarily run a backup instance in a physical or virtual operating system environment on a server dedicated to disaster recovery. The product use rights for the software and the following limitations apply to your use of software on a disaster recovery server.
   • The server must be turned off except for (i) limited software self-testing and patch management, or (ii) disaster recovery.
   • The server may not be in the same cluster as the production server.
   • You may run the backup and production instances at the same time only while recovering the production instance from a disaster.
   • Your right to run the backup instances ends when your Software Assurance coverage ends.
2. E-Learning.
   The Desktop Applications section of the product use rights provides your license terms for eLearning Training Kits. However, you may not have more users than you have E-Learning licenses.
3. TechNet Plus Subscription Media.
   The Developer Tools section of the product use rights provides your license terms for TechNet Plus Subscription Media. Please see the Product List for additional TechNet Software Assurance benefits.
4. 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.
5. MSDN. The Developer Tools section of the product use rights provides your license terms for MSDN. Your rights to use any software licensed through MSDN become perpetual when your right to use Visual Studio becomes perpetual.
6. 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.
7. Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs.
   The Desktop Operating System section of the product use rights provides your license terms for Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. However, you may use the software only to run the types of applications listed below.
   • security
   • management
   • terminal emulation
   • Remote Desktop and similar technologies
   • web browser
   • media player
   • instant messaging client
   • document viewers
   • NET Framework and Java Virtual Machine
   You may choose not to install the media player. If so, the sections of the Desktop Operating System section of the product use rights listed below do not apply to your use of the software.
   • Windows Media Digital Rights Management
   • Windows Media Player
   • Notice About the MPEG-4 Visual Standard
   You may use the software on a device other than the one on which it was first installed if you move the corresponding Software Assurance coverage to that other device.
8. Windows 7 Enterprise.
   The Desktop Operating System section of the product use rights, as supplemented in the “Virtualization Rights for Windows Licensed Devices with Active Software Assurance Coverage” below, provides your license terms for the software. Your right to use the software, other than as described in the Virtualization Rights section, becomes perpetual when your right to use Windows 7 Professional becomes perpetual.
9. Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) and Virtualization Rights for Windows Licensed Devices with Active Software Assurance Coverage
   The Desktop Operating System section of the product use rights, as supplemented below, provides your license terms for use of the software under Windows VDA licenses and Windows licenses with active Software Assurance coverage. In the case of any conflict between the terms in the Desktop Operating System section and this section, these license terms govern. “Instance” and other terminology in the Universal License Terms related to use of the software with virtualization technology apply. “Software,” as used here, refers to Windows 7 Enterprise.
   
   
   1. Assigning the License to the Device.
      
      
      • Windows VDA Devices Before you run any instance of the software under a Windows VDA license, you must assign that license to a device. A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device. Despite the limitation in the General License Terms, you may reassign your license, but not on a short-term basis (i.e., not within 90 days of the last assignment). You may reassign your license sooner if you retire the licensed device due to permanent hardware failure.
      • Windows Licensed Devices with Active Software Assurance Coverage.The device to which you assigned your Windows license and active Software Assurance coverage is the “licensed device.” If you move your Windows Software Assurance coverage to a replacement computer, that computer becomes the “licensed device.”
   2. Running Instances of the Software.
      
      
      • For each license you assign, at any one time, you may either:
        • remotely access one instance of the software running in one physical operating system environment on one of your servers (e.g., in your datacenter) from the licensed device, or
        • remotely access up to four instances of the software running in virtual operating system environments (only one instance per virtual operating system environment) on your servers (e.g., on up to four different servers in your datacenter) from the licensed device.
      • For Windows VDA licensed devices that are assigned a Windows 7 Professional license, at any one time, you may run one or more of the permitted instances of the software in virtual operating system environments (only one instance per virtual operating system environment) on the licensed device.
      • For Windows licensed devices with active Software Assurance coverage, at any one time, you may also run on the licensed device up to four instances of the software in virtual operating system environments (only one instance per virtual operating system environment) and one instance of the software in one physical operating system environment. If you run all five permitted instances at the same time, the instance running in the physical operating system environment must be used solely to run:
        • the hardware virtualization software, and
        • software to manage and service operating system environments on the licensed device
      • You have the following alternative for Windows licensed devices with active Software Assurance coverage. For each license, you may run on the licensed device at any one time two instances of the software in the physical operating system environment. If you choose this option, you may not run the software in any virtual operating system environments on the licensed device.
      • You may run an instance of Windows 7 Professional, or any earlier version of the software or of Windows 7 Professional, in place of any permitted instance.
      • You may not run the software in the physical operating system environment on the licensed device under a Windows VDA license.
      • Despite anything to the contrary in the Remote Desktop section of the Desktop Operating System product use rights, you may remotely access the instances running on your servers (e.g., in your datacenter) only from the licensed device, with the following exceptions.
        • You may remotely access the instances from any other device to which you have assigned either an active Windows VDA license, an active Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop or Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop for Software Assurance license or a Windows license with active Software Assurance coverage.
        • You may use Remote Assistance and other similar technologies to share an active session.
        • You do not need a license to access your instances of the software (locally or remotely) only to administer those instances.
   3. Creating and Storing Instances on Your Devices or Storage Media. You have the additional rights below for each license you acquire.
      • You may create any number of instances of the software.
      • You may store those instances on any of your devices or storage media.
      • You may create and store instances of the software solely to exercise your right to run instances of the software under any of your Windows VDA licenses or Windows Software Assurance as described above (e.g., you may not distribute instances to third parties).
   4. Roaming Use Rights.Except as provided below, the single primary user of the Windows VDA licensed device or Windows licensed device with active Software Assurance coverage (work device) may:
      • at any one time remotely access one or more of the permitted instances running on your servers (e.g., in your datacenter) from a qualifying third party device1, and
      • at any one time run one instance of the software in a virtual operating system environment on a qualifying third party device¹
      ¹A "qualifying third party device" is a device that is owned and/or controlled by an entity other than you or your affiliates.
      
      When the primary user is on your or your affiliates’ premises, Roaming Use Rights are not applicable.
      
      You may not run the software in the physical operating system environment on the qualifying third party device under the Roaming Use Rights. All use is subject to the limitation on the number of users in the General License Terms in the Desktop Operating Systems section and must be for work-related purposes. The primary user’s right to use the software under the Roaming Use Rights terminates when the corresponding rights on the work device expire, there is a change in the primary user status or when the primary user leaves your organization. At that time, you must ensure that that user is no longer using the software under Roaming Use Rights.
      
      
   5. Term of License.Despite anything to the contrary in your volume license agreement, your Windows Virtual Desktop license, these Virtualization Rights for Windows licensed devices with active Software Assurance coverage, and the corresponding Roaming Use Rights are non-perpetual. You may not access or use the software as permitted here after your subscription or coverage expires.
10. Roaming Use Rights for Devices Licensed for all editions of Office 2010, Project 2010 or Visio 2010 with Active Software Assurance Coverage:
    
    The Desktop Applications section of the product use rights, as supplemented below, provides your license terms for use of the software under all editions of Office 2010, Project 2010 and Visio 2010 licenses with active Software Assurance coverage. In the case of any conflict between the terms in the Desktop Applications section and this section, these license terms govern. These rights are granted subject to the limitation on the number of users in the General License Terms of the Desktop Applications section, and all use must be for work-related purposes.
    • Except as provided below, the single primary user of the licensed device may:
      • remotely access the software running on your servers (e.g., in your datacenter) from a qualifying third party device¹, and
      • run the software in a virtual operating system environment on a qualifying third party device¹
      ¹A “qualifying third party device” is a device that is owned and/or controlled by an entity other than you or your affiliates.
      
      When the primary user is on your or your affiliates’ premises, Roaming Use Rights are not applicable.
      
      
    • You may not run the software in the physical operating system environment on the qualifying third party device under the Roaming Use Rights.
    • Creating and Storing Instances on Your Servers or Storage Media. You have the additional rights below for each of your Office 2010, Project 2010 and Visio 2010 licenses with active Software Assurance coverage.
      • You may create any number of copies of the software.
      • You may store copies of the software on any of your servers or storage media.
      • You may create and store copies of the software solely to exercise your right to access and use the software under your licenses as described above (e.g., you may not distribute copies of the software to third parties).
    • The primary user’s right to use the software under these Roaming Use Rights terminates when either the corresponding rights on the licensed device expire, Software Assurance coverage expires or there is a change in the primary user status. At that time, you must ensure that that user is no longer using the software under the Roaming Use Rights.
    • Term of License. Despite anything to the contrary in your volume license agreement, these Roaming Use Rights are non-perpetual. You may not access or use the software under the license terms of this Roaming Use Rights section after your Software Assurance coverage expires.
11. Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (DOP) for Software Assurance.
    Active Windows Business or Professional Software Assurance coverage or an active Windows Virtual Desktop Access subscription license provides you with eligibility to acquire licenses for MDOP for Software Assurance. These licenses are an optional and separate purchase from Software Assurance. See the Product List for details. If you invoke this benefit, you have the rights below for each MDOP for Software Assurance license you acquire.
    1. Installation and use rights. The "licensed device" is the device to which you have assigned your corresponding qualifying license and Windows Business or Professional Software Assurance coverage.
       
       Licensed Device. You may install and use the software on the licensed device. Some functionality in the software is designed to manage software on the licensed device. You may use that functionality on other devices solely to manage software running on the licensed device. You may also use the following components to manage software on servers within your domain, so long as the desktops within that domain are licensed for MDOP:
       • Advanced Group Policy Management
       • Asset Inventory Service (AIS)
       • Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset
       Use of the AIS on your licensed desktops is subject to the Additional Terms section of the Online Services section of these product use rights. See the online service's privacy statement at https://sc.microsoft.com/Help/Privacy.htm for information about how we may collect and use your information.
       
    2. Additional Licensing Requirements and/or Use Rights.
       
       • Remote Access. You may access and use the MDOP for Software Assurance software running on the licensed device remotely from another device as described below.
         • Primary user. The single primary user of that device may access and use the software remotely from any other device. No other person may use the software under the same license at the same time, except to provide support services.
         • Non-primary users. Any user may access and use the software remotely from a separately licensed device.
         • Remote assistance. You may allow other devices to access the software to provide you with support services. You do not need additional licenses for this access.
       • Roaming Use Rights. Except as provided below, the single primary user of the licensed device may use the MDOP for Software Assurance software on a qualifying third party device1 to support permitted use or remote access of your licensed software on that qualifying third party device.
         
         ¹A “qualifying third party device” is a device that is owned and/or controlled by an entity other than you or your affiliates
         
         When the primary user is on your or your affiliates’ premises, Roaming Use Rights are not applicable.
         • These rights are granted subject to the limitation on the number of users in the “Primary User” section, and all use must be for work-related purposes.
         • The primary user’s right to use the MDOP for Software Assurance software under these Roaming Use Rights terminates when either the corresponding rights on the licensed device expire or there is a change in the primary user status. At that time, you must ensure that that user is no longer using the MDOP for Software Assurance software under the Roaming Use Rights.
    3. Term of License. You may not access or use the software after your corresponding Windows Software Assurance coverage expires.
12. Self-Hosted Applications.
    The following additional licensing requirements and/or use rights apply to Self-Hosted Applications. Self-Hosted Applications include the products marked with the “SH” next to their names in the lists of products in the licensing model sections of these product use rights.
    
    Despite any terms to the contrary in your volume license agreement including these product use rights, you may run licensed copies of Self-Hosted Applications with your own software to create a unified solution (“Unified Solution”) and permit third parties to use it, subject to the terms below. A Unified Solution also includes any Self-Hosted Applications that interact with your software that is part of the Unified Solution.
    
    Requirements:
    You must have the required Microsoft software 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.
    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 are not a primary service and/or application of a Unified Solution);
    • be the principal service and/or application, and sole point of access, to the Unified Solution;
    • be delivered over the Internet or a private network. The Self-Hosted Applications component may not be loaded onto the end user’s device; and
    • be owned, not licensed, by you, except that your software may include third party software that is embedded in, and 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 license agreement except as permitted in that agreement.
    
    Changes to use rights.
    Despite the terms of your volume license agreement, we may modify or discontinue the above use rights at any time. However, if we do so, these use rights continue to apply to your use of the Self-Hosted Applications under licenses acquired before the effective date of that change.

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 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".

SuperPreview	The software contains access to a pre-release online service that allows you to do the following: use certain browsers to preview existing web pages, to view your newly created webpages, and view webpages on your local intranet. When the SuperPreview client application starts it will always attempt to contact the SuperPreview online service through a process called “Discovery”. If the SuperPreview client is signed up with the online service, discovery will return both the list of available remote browsers with icons and a list of disabled browser versions that are known to not work with SuperPreview. Discovery will return results depending on the configuration of the SuperPreview client. Once discovery returns information to the SuperPreview client, the user-interface of the SuperPreview client may be updated if changes occurred. A modal dialog will appear, notifying you of the following: what changes took place, and whether a browser was added, removed, or updated. For web pages on your local machine, and for sites identified as being part of an intranet, the SuperPreview client creates a zip package of the web page you are attempting to preview. This includes all assets associated with that page (css, images, js, etc). The SuperPreview client then transmits this package to the online service. The online service then extracts the package to temporary space and previews the page with the remote browsers selected by the SuperPreview client. After previewing is complete the package is deleted from the temporary space. The online service will then return to the SuperPreview client an image render and positioning data as described above.
