Liebe Blogleser,
heute möchte ich meinen Beitrag dem Thema Produktbenutzungsrechte und Downgrade Rights widmen und wo alle wichtigen Informationen dazu zu finden sind.
- Die genaue Produktbenutzung von allen Microsoft Produkten als Volumenlizenz sind in den Product Use Rights geregelt.
- Die genaue Produktbenutzung von allen Microsoft Produkten als FPP (Full Package Product), System Builder (inkl. MLK=Medialess License Kit) und OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) sind in den End User License Terms dargestellt.
Diese beiden obengenannten links beantworten alle Fragen hinsichtlich Benutzungsbedingungen und Konditionen von Microsoft Lizenzen (Terms & Conditions).
- Komplexe Lizenzierungsszenarien sind in den Licensing Briefs dargestellt. Diese helfen beispielsweise bei der Fragestellung wie lizenziere ich Remote Desktop Services/Terminal Services richtig.
Im Speziellen möchte ich auch das Thema DOWNGRADE RIGHTS näher beleuchten, das sehr ausführlich mit FAQ´s in den Licensing Briefs dargestellt ist.
Die nachfolgende Übersicht stellt Volumenlizenz Downgrade Rechte gegenüber OEM und FPP Lizenzen:
| | | | |

| | Rights to OEM versions of applications software are granted in the OEM License Terms. The OEM License Terms for OEM versions of applications software do not grant downgrade rights. | Rights to OEM versions of systems software are granted in the OEM License Terms. The OEM License Terms for most OEM versions of systems software do not grant downgrade rights. The exception is the OEM License Terms for the Windows® XP Professional operating system and the Windows Vista® Business and Windows Vista Ultimate operating systems, which grant downgrade rights. See the full text of the OEM License Terms for the specific downgrade rights. | Rights to server software are granted in the OEM License Terms. The OEM License Terms for most OEM versions released with or after Windows Server® 2003 R2 allow for the end user to downgrade to an earlier version. New products that do not have earlier versions do not allow an end user to downgrade. See the full text of the applicable OEM License Terms for the specific downgrade rights. |

Ich hoffe, dass ich ein wenig Licht in das Thema Lizenzbenutzungsrechte bringen konnte und welche Informationsquellen die Richtigen und Wichtigen sind.
Liebe Grüße
