MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS

WINDOWS VISTA SERVICE PACK 1

Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) licenses this
supplement to you. If you are licensed to use Windows Vista (the “software”), you
may use this supplement. You may not use it if you do not have a license for the
software. You may use a copy of this supplement with each validly licensed copy of
the software.

The following license terms describe additional terms for the software. These terms
and the license terms for the software apply to your use of the supplement. If there is
a conflict, these supplemental license terms apply. The changes include:

• details about the number of service connections available

• additional information about the activation and validation functions of the

software, which determine whether the software is counterfeit, improperly
licensed or a non-genuine Windows product

• additional privacy disclosures about Internet-based services

• description of rights for academic and specific-geographic software

• availability of a digital proof of license

This list highlights some of the changes. The terms below govern your use of the
software.

By using this supplement, you accept these terms. If you do not accept
them, do not use this supplement.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.

1. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.

a. Windows Vista Ultimate, Business, and Home Premium. For these

three editions, you may allow up to 10 other devices to connect to the
software installed on the licensed device to use File Services, Print Services,
Internet Information Services and Internet Connection Sharing and Telephony
Services. However, you may not exceed a total of 10 connections at one time.

b. Windows Vista Home Basic. For this edition, you may allow up to 5 other
devices to connect to the software installed on the licensed device to use File
Services, Print Services, Internet Information Services and Internet Connection
Sharing and Telephony Services. However, you may not exceed a total of 5
connections at one time.

2. MANDATORY ACTIVATION.
 Activation associates the use of the software with a specific device. During
activation, the software will send information about the software and the device
to Microsoft. This information includes the version, language and product key of
the software, the Internet protocol address of the device, and information derived
from the hardware configuration of the device. For more information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=96549. By using the software, you consent
to the transmission of this information. If properly licensed, you have the right to
use the version of the software installed during the installation process up to the
time permitted for activation. Unless the software is activated, you have no
right to use the software after the time permitted for activation. This is
to prevent its unlicensed use. You are not permitted to bypass or
circumvent activation. If the device is connected to the Internet, the software
may automatically connect to Microsoft for activation. You can also activate the
software manually by Internet or telephone. If you do so, Internet and telephone
service charges may apply. Some changes to your computer components or the
software may require you to reactivate the software. The software will remind
you to activate it until you do.

3. VALIDATION.

a. Validation verifies that the software has been activated and is properly
licensed. It also verifies that no unauthorized changes have been made to the
validation, licensing, or activation functions of the software. Validation may
also check for certain malicious or unauthorized software related to such
unauthorized changes. A validation check confirming that you are properly
licensed permits you to continue to use the software, certain features of the
software or to obtain additional benefits. You are not permitted to
circumvent validation. This is to prevent unlicensed use of the software.
For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=96550.

b. The software will from time to time perform a validation check of the software.
The check may be initiated by the software or Microsoft. To enable the
activation function and validation checks, the software may from time to time
require updates or additional downloads of the validation, licensing or
activation functions of the software. The updates or downloads are required
for the proper functioning of the software and may be downloaded and
installed without further notice to you. These updates and downloads may be
delivered to you through the Windows Update service (if you use the service)
or through other means. During or after a validation check, the software may
send information about the software, the device and the results of the
validation check to Microsoft. This information includes, for example, the
version and product key of the software, any unauthorized changes made to
the validation, licensing or activation functions of the software, any related
malicious or unauthorized software found and the Internet protocol address of
the device. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.
By using the software, you consent to the transmission of this information.
For more information about validation and what is sent during or after a
validation check, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=96551.

c. If, after a validation check, the software is found to be counterfeit,

improperly licensed, a non-genuine Windows product, or include
unauthorized changes, the functionality and experience of using the
software will be affected, for example:

Microsoft may
 • repair the software, remove, quarantine or disable any unauthorized
changes that may interfere with the proper use of the software,
including circumvention of the activation or validation functions of the
software, or

• check and remove malicious or unauthorized software known to be

related to such unauthorized changes, or

• provide notices that the software is improperly licensed or a non-

genuine Windows product

and you may

• receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the software,

or

• need to follow Microsoft’s instructions to be licensed to use the

software and reactivate,

and you may not be able to

• use or continue to use the software or some of the features of the

software, or

• obtain certain updates or upgrades from Microsoft

d. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software from Microsoft or
authorized sources. For more information on obtaining updates from
authorized sources see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=96552.
4. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. Microsoft provides Internet-based services with
the software. It may change or cancel them at any time. The following are in
addition to the Windows Vista license terms.

a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features described

below and in the Windows Vista Privacy Statement connect to Microsoft or service
provider computer systems over the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive
a separate notice when they connect. You may switch off these features or not
use them. For more information about these features, see the Windows Vista
Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=96553. By using
these features, you consent to the transmission of this information.
Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.

Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols, which send
to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your Internet protocol
address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the
software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed
the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based services
available to you.

• Plug and Play. You may connect new hardware to your device. Your device
may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that hardware. If so,
the update feature of the software can obtain the correct driver from Microsoft
and install it on your device. An administrator can disable this update feature.
 • Windows Update. To enable the proper functioning of the Windows Update
service in the software (if you use it), updates or downloads to the Windows
Update service will be required from time to time and downloaded and
installed without further notice to you.
5. ACADEMIC EDITION SOFTWARE. You must be a “Qualified Educational User”
to use software marked as “Academic Edition” or “AE.” If you do not know
whether you are a Qualified Educational User, visit www.microsoft.com/education
or contact the Microsoft affiliate serving your country.

6. GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS. If the software is marked as requiring activation

in a specific geographic region, then you are only permitted to activate this
software in the geographic region indicated on the software packaging. You may
not be able to activate the software outside of that region. For further
information on geographic restrictions, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?
LinkId=99189.

7. PROOF OF LICENSE.

a. Genuine Proof of License. If you acquired the software on a disc or other

media, a genuine Microsoft proof of license label with a genuine copy of the
software identifies licensed software. To be valid, this label must appear on
Microsoft packaging. If you receive the label separately, it is invalid. You
should keep the packaging that has the label on it to prove that you are
licensed to use the software.

b. Windows Anytime Upgrade License. If you upgrade the software using

Windows Anytime Upgrade, your proof of license is identified by

• the genuine Microsoft proof of license label for the software you upgraded
from, and

• the genuine Microsoft proof of purchase label from the Windows Anytime
Upgrade Kit you used to upgrade

c. Online Purchase Digital License. If you purchased the software online from
a Microsoft approved digital license seller, your proof of license is identified by
a digital license stored in the digital locker at Windows Marketplace.

d. To identify genuine Microsoft software, see http://www.howtotell.com.
