Business Network and Beta

[darthpaul72]

I'd like to use this software for the user's PC's in our
Domain. However, it's a beta version..Will I run into
licensing issues later when it goes retail?
I'd like to keep the workstations free of licensing
warnings, users tend to dislike them.

The final version will be "free" to all "licensed" Windows users. Which
probably means the software will be offered under genuine advantage. I don't
think there is any support for this enterprise environments, I would expect
that in the Enterprise edition which will include support for Group Policy
and Central Management and come at a cost.

As was posted elsewhere, one shouldn't run this on a production machine. It
is neither designed nor intended at this time for an Enterprise deployment,
or for deployment in an Enterprise.
