I'd like to read the EULA that comes with Windows - specifically an generic
OEM copy of Windows XP that came with SP2.

Thanks.

"End User License Agreement"

I'm interested only in generic OEM WinXP (home or pro) that is more recent
i.e. one of the copies that already included Service Pack 2.

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE

This End End User License Agreement (EULA) is for informational purposes
only. There is no software accompanying the EULA.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL EDITION SERVICE PACK 2

IMPORTANT—READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a
legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity)
and Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates ("Microsoft") for the
Microsoft software that accompanies this EULA, which includes computer
software and may include associated media, printed materials, "online"
or electronic documentation, and Internet-based services ("Software").
An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the Software. YOU
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR
OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL, COPY,
OR USE THE SOFTWARE; YOU MAY RETURN IT TO YOUR PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A
FULL REFUND, IF APPLICABLE.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided
that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run
one copy of the Software on a single computer, such as a workstation,
terminal or other device ("Workstation Computer"). The Software may not
be used by more than two (2) processors at any one time on any single
Workstation Computer.

1.2 Mandatory Activation.The license rights granted under this EULA are
limited to the first thirty (30) days after you first install the
Software unless you supply information required to activate your
licensed copy in the manner described during the setup sequence of the
Software. You can activate the Software through the use of the Internet
or telephone; toll charges may apply. You may also need to reactivate
the Software if you modify your computer hardware or alter the Software.
There are technological measures in this Software that are designed to
prevent unlicensed use of the Software. Microsoft will use those
measures to confirm you have a legally licensed copy of the Software. If
you are not using a licensed copy of the Software, you are not allowed
to install the Software or future Software updates. Microsoft will not
collect any personally identifiable information from your Workstation
Computer during this process.

1.3 Device Connections. You may permit a maximum of ten (10) computers
or other electronic devices (each a "Device") to connect to the
Workstation Computer to utilize one or more of the following services of
the Software: File Services, Print Services, Internet Information
Services, Internet Connection Sharing and telephony services. The ten
connection maximum includes any indirect connections made through
"multiplexing" or other software or hardware which pools or aggregates
connections. This ten connection maximum does not apply to other uses of
the Software, such as synchronizing data between a Device and the
Workstation Computer, provided only one user uses, accesses, displays or
runs the Software at any one time. This Section 1.3 does not grant you
rights to access a Workstation Computer Session from any Device. A
"Session" means any use of the Software that enables functionality
similar to that available to an end user who is interacting with the
Workstation Computer through any combination of input, output and
display peripherals.

1.4 Remote Desktop/Remote Assistance/NetMeeting. The Software contains
Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, and NetMeeting technologies that
enable the Software or applications installed on the Workstation
Computer (sometimes referred to as a host device) to be accessed
remotely from other Devices. You may use the Software's Remote Desktop
feature (or other software which provides similar functionality for a
similar purpose) to access a Workstation Computer Session from any
Device provided you acquire a separate Software license for that Device.
As an exception to this rule, the person who is the single primary user
of the Workstation Computer may access a Workstation Computer Session
from any Device without acquiring an additional Software license for
that Device. When you are using Remote Assistance or NetMeeting (or
other software which provides similar functionality for a similar
purpose) you may share a Session with other users without any limit on
the number of Device connections and without acquiring additional
licenses for the Software. For Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications,
you should consult the license agreement accompanying the applicable
software or contact the applicable licensor to determine whether use of
the software with Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, or NetMeeting is
permitted without an additional license.

1.5 Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the
Software on a storage device, such as a network server, used only to
install or run the Software on your other Workstation Computers over an
internal network; however, you must acquire and dedicate an additional
license for each separate Workstation Computer on or from which the
Software is installed, used, accessed, displayed or run. Except as
otherwise permitted by the NetMeeting and Remote Assistance features
described above, a license for the Software may not be shared or used
concurrently on different Workstation Computers.

2. AUTOMATIC INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. The Software features described
below are enabled by default to connect via the Internet to Microsoft
computer systems automatically, without separate notice to you. You
consent to the operation of these features, unless you choose to switch
them off or not use them. Microsoft does not obtain personal information
through any of these features. For more information about these
features, please see your Software documentation, the Microsoft online
support site, or the privacy statement at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=25243.

2.1 Windows Update Features. If you connect hardware to your Workstation
Computer, it may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that
hardware. The Software's update feature can obtain the correct drivers
from Microsoft and install them on your device. You can switch this
update feature off.

2.2 Web Content Features. Under the Software's default configuration, if
you are connected to the Internet, several features of the Software are
enabled by default to retrieve content from Microsoft computer systems
and display it to you. When you activate such a feature, it uses
standard Internet protocols, which transmit the type of operating
system, browser and language code of your Workstation Computer to the
Microsoft computer system so that the content can be viewed properly
from your Workstation Computer. These features only operate when you
activate them, and you may choose to switch them off or not use them.
Examples of these features include Windows Catalog, Search Assistant,
and the Headlines and Search features of Help and Support Center.

2.3 Digital Certificates. The Software uses digital certificates based
on the x.509 standard. These digital certificates confirm the identity
of Internet users sending x.509 standard encrypted information. The
software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation
lists. These security features operate only when you use the Internet.

2.4 Auto Root Update. The Auto Root Update feature updates the list of
trusted certificate authorities. You can switch off the Auto Root Update
feature.

2.5 Windows Media Player. Some features of Windows Media Player
automatically contact Microsoft computer systems if you use Windows
Media Player or specific features of it: features that (A) check for new
codecs if your Workstation Computer does not have the correct ones for
content you attempt to play (this feature may be switched off), and (B)
check for new versions of Windows Media Player (this feature will
operate only when you are using Windows Media Player).

2.6 Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content providers are using
the digital rights management technology for Windows Media contained in
this Software ("WM-DRM") to protect the integrity of their content
("Secure Content") so that their intellectual property, including
copyright, in such content is not misappropriated. Portions of this
Software and third party applications such as media players use WM-DRM
to play Secure Content ("WM-DRM Software"). If the WM-DRM Software's
security has been compromised, owners of Secure Content ("Secure Content
Owners") may request that Microsoft revoke the WM-DRM Software's right
to copy, display and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does not alter
the WM-DRM Software's ability to play unprotected content. A list of
revoked WM-DRM Software is sent to your Workstation Computer whenever
you download a license for Secure Content from the Internet. Microsoft
may, in conjunction with such license, also download revocation lists
onto your Workstation Computer on behalf of Secure Content Owners.
Secure Content Owners may also require you to upgrade some of the WM-DRM
components in this Software ("WM-DRM Upgrades") before accessing their
content. When you attempt to play such content, WM-DRM Software built by
Microsoft will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is required and then ask
for your consent before the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM
Software built by third parties may do the same. If you decline the
upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the WM-DRM
Upgrade; however, you will still be able to access unprotected content
and Secure Content that does not require the upgrade. WM-DRM features
that access the Internet, such as acquiring new licenses and/or
performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade, can be switched off. When these
features are switched off, you will still be able to play Secure Content
if you have a valid license for such content already stored on your
Workstation Computer.

3. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP. Microsoft reserves all rights
not expressly granted to you in this EULA. The Software is protected by
copyright and other intellectual property laws and treaties. Microsoft
or its suppliers own the title, copyright, and other intellectual
property rights in the Software. The Software is licensed, not sold.

4. LIMITATIONS ON REVERSE ENGINEERING, DECOMPILATION, AND DISASSEMBLY.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software,
except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted
by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.

5. NO RENTAL/COMMERCIAL HOSTING. You may not rent, lease, lend or
provide commercial hosting services with the Software.

6. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES. You may link to third party sites through
the use of the Software. The third party sites are not under the control
of Microsoft, and Microsoft is not responsible for the contents of any
third party sites, any links contained in third party sites, or any
changes or updates to third party sites. Microsoft is not responsible
for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any third
party sites. Microsoft is providing these links to third party sites to
you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply
an endorsement by Microsoft of the third party site.

7. ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE/SERVICES. This EULA applies to updates,
supplements, add-on components, product support services, or
Internet-based services components, of the Software that you may obtain
from Microsoft after the date you obtain your initial copy of the
Software, unless you accept updated terms or another agreement governs.
Microsoft reserves the right to discontinue any Internet-based services
provided to you or made available to you through the use of the Software.

8. UPGRADES. To use Software identified as an upgrade, you must first be
licensed for the software identified by Microsoft as eligible for the
upgrade. After upgrading, you may no longer use the software that formed
the basis for your upgrade eligibility.

"NFR," may not be sold or otherwise transferred for value, or used for
any purpose other than demonstration, test or evaluation.

10. ACADEMIC EDITION SOFTWARE. To use Software identified as "Academic

ONLY AS TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
(NINETY DAYS). AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED AFTER THE NINETY DAY PERIOD,

Any supplements or updates to the Software, 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.

its essential purpose. The terms of Section 19 ("Exclusion of
Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages") are also
incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Some states/jurisdictions do

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This
Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other
rights which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction. YOUR
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Microsoft's and its suppliers' entire liability and
your exclusive remedy for any breach of this Limited Warranty or for any

limitée suivante vous concerne :

GARANTIE LIMITÉE

Microsoft garantit que le Logiciel fonctionnera conformément aux
documents inclus pendant une période de 90 jours suivant la date de

DÉCOUVERTS APRÈS CETTE PÉRIODE DE QUATRE-VINGT-DIX JOURS. Certains États

notamment, les ensembles de services ou les réparations à chaud (le cas
échéant) qui vous sont fournis après l'expiration de la période de

«Exclusion des dommages accessoires, indirects et de certains autres

limitation ou l'exclusion ci­dessus peut ne pas s'appliquer à vous. La
présente garantie limitée vous donne des droits légaux spécifiques. Vous
pouvez avoir d'autres droits qui peuvent varier d'un territoire ou d'un
État à un autre. VOTRE RECOURS EXCLUSIF. L'obligation intégrale de

choisie par Microsoft, sans frais, sauf que vous êtes responsable des
dépenses que vous pourriez engager (p. ex., les frais d'envoi du
Logiciel à Microsoft). La présente garantie limitée est nulle si la
défectuosité du Logiciel est causée par un accident, un usage abusif,
une mauvaise application, un usage anormal ou un virus. Tout Logiciel de
remplacement sera garanti pour le reste de la période de garantie
initiale ou pendant trente (30) jours, selon la plus longue entre ces
deux périodes. À l'extérieur des États-Unis ou du Canada, ces recours ou

and Microsoft support engineers will use reasonable efforts, care and
skill to solve any problem issues. In the event that the Software fails
to comply with this guarantee, Microsoft will either (a) repair or
replace the Software or (b) return the price you paid. This guarantee is
void if failure of the Software results from accident, abuse or
misapplication. Any replacement Software will be guaranteed for the
remainder of the original guarantee period or 30 days, whichever period
is longer. You agree that the above guarantee is your sole guarantee in
relation to the Software and any support services.

Exclusion of All Other Terms - To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law and subject to the guarantee above, Microsoft disclaims
all warranties, conditions and other terms, either express or implied
(whether by statute, common law, collaterally or otherwise) including
but not limited to implied warranties of satisfactory quality and
fitness for particular purpose with respect to the Software and the
written materials that accompany the Software. Any implied warranties
that cannot be excluded are limited to 90 days or to the shortest period
permitted by applicable law, whichever is greater.

Limitation of Liability - To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law and except as provided in the Microsoft Guarantee, Microsoft and its
suppliers shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever (including
without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business
interruption, loss of business information or other pecuniary loss)
arising out of the use or inability to use the Software, even if
Microsoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any
case Microsoft's entire liability under any provision of this Agreement
shall be limited to the amount actually paid by you for the Software.
These limitations do not apply to any liabilities that cannot be
excluded or limited by applicable laws.

Consumer rights - Consumers in Australia, New Zealand or Malaysia may
have the benefit of certain rights and remedies by reason of the Trade
Practices Act and similar state and territory laws in Australia, the
Consumer Guarantees Act in New Zealand and the Consumer Protection Act
in Malaysia in respect of which liability cannot lawfully be modified or
excluded. If you acquired the Software in New Zealand for the purposes
of a business, you confirm that the Consumer Guarantees Act does not
apply. If you acquired the Software in Australia and if Microsoft
breaches a condition or warranty implied under any law which cannot
lawfully be modified or excluded by this agreement then, to the extent
permitted by law, Microsoft's liability is limited, at Microsoft's
option, to: (i) in the case of the Software: a) repairing or replacing
the Software; or b) the cost of such repair or replacement; and (ii) in
the case of support services: a) re-supply of the services; or b) the
cost of having the services supplied again.

But I don't see any mention of OEM, neither [although there's a "Not for
Sale" section]. I don't know if what you posted is the same license that
accompanies an installation of Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM or Windows XP Home SP2
OEM. You may have posted the "Full Retail" EULA.

Thanks though.

The OEM EULA is between the machine builder and Microsoft.

The EULA that you get when you buy a machine with an OEM copy of Windows on
it is between the purchaser and the machine builder. Microsoft offers no
support what so ever. That is the machine builders job.

What exactly is the problem to take this drastic step of punishing your
brain? There is no such thing as generic OEM. It is either OEM or
Retail - period. The term GENERIC has been invented by posters on this
website and therefore it has no legal force at court of law.

Have you contacted MS direct if they can help you?

hth
 
Hi Wesley
I cant see what else the poster needs either - if he gets the MS OEM disk
with his systems like I have it clearly says on the enclosed leaflet - quote
'This software is subject to the terms and conditions described in the
End-User Licence Agreement(EULA)located in either the product documentation
or online within the software product. By using the software product , you
indicate that you have read and accepted the terms of the EULA.'
So that covers the buying of an OEM disk of WIN XP SP2.
The full retail disks have the EULA and you have covered the SBL side of
things, where you may not get any type of disk from the builder.
Hope you don't mind me sticking my 'snout' in the trough.

False. There are two types of OEMs, branded and generic. Do you have a
problem with the English language?

The request is quite simple. I'd like someone to post the text of an OEM XP
EULA. A recent one from a version of XP that came with SP2 included. That's
all I've asked.

If you want the full version, go into Microsoft site and search for the
EULA - why expect someone to do that for you???????????
The EULA, from my understanding, covers the end user for all XP software.

If it were there - haven't found it yet .. besides, all it takes is for one
person who has such a copy to run winver and hit the link to End User
Licesnse Agreement - it pops right up and can be quickly pasted into a

about it?
 
Here's the EULA for the system I'm posting from:

END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT
SOFTWARE

MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003, STANDARD
EDITION WITH SERVICE PACK 1

MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003, ENTERPRISE
EDITION WITH SERVICE PACK 1

MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003, STANDARD x64
EDITION

MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003, ENTERPRISE
x64 EDITION

PLEASE READ THIS END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
('EULA') CAREFULLY. BY INSTALLING OR USING
THE SOFTWARE THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS EULA
('SOFTWARE'), YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS
EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE
SOFTWARE AND, IF APPLICABLE, RETURN IT TO THE
PLACE OF PURCHASE FOR A FULL REFUND.

1. GENERAL. This EULA is a legal agreement
between you (either an individual or a single
entity) and Microsoft Corporation
('Microsoft'). This EULA governs the Software,
which includes computer software (including
online and electronic documentation) and any
associated media and printed materials. This
EULA applies to updates, supplements, add-on
components, and Internet-based services
components of the Software that Microsoft may
provide or make available to you unless
Microsoft provides other terms 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
Software. This EULA also governs any product
support services relating to the Software
except as may be included in another
agreement between you and Microsoft. An
amendment or addendum to this EULA may
accompany the Software. The Software may
contain the following:

· 'Server Software' provides services or
functionality on your server (your computers
capable of running the Server Software are
'Servers'); and

· 'Device Software' allows a single personal
computer, workstation, terminal, handheld
computer, pager, telephone, personal digital
assistant, or other electronic device
('Device') to access or use the Server
Software.

2. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you
the following rights, conditioned on your
compliance with all the terms and conditions
of this EULA:

a. Installation, Server Software. You may
install only one copy of Server Software on a
single Server, even if multiple copies of
Server Software (for example, 32-bit and 64-
bit versions) are included in the Software.
Features supported on 32-bit and 64-bit
versions, including some features mentioned
in this EULA, may not be identical or
available in both versions; please refer to
product documentation for a list of specific
features included with each version. Separate
component parts of the Server Software may
not be used on more than one Server. An
additional license is required if you install
another copy of the Server Software on the
same Server (whether in a separate partition,
by using server emulation software, or
otherwise) or to install or run a copy of the
Server Software on a different Server (for
example, a Server employed for backup or fail-
over support).

b. Installation, Device Software. You may
install and use the Device Software on any
Device solely to access or use the Server
Software.

c. Mandatory Activation. To reduce software
piracy, Microsoft requires the Server
Software to be activated. Activation of your
copy of the Software in the manner described
during its setup sequence is required;
otherwise, the license rights granted under
this EULA are limited to the first thirty
(30) days after you first install the
Software. You may activate the Software
through the use of the Internet or telephone;
toll charges may apply. You may also need to
reactivate the Software if you modify your
computer hardware or alter the Software. If
you choose Internet activation, the Software
will contact Microsoft computer systems over
the Internet to conduct an authentication
process to confirm that you have a licensed
copy of the Software. During the
authentication process, the Software will
send information including standard Internet
protocol information (which is not stored by
Microsoft), product ID and an installation ID
based on a hardware hash generated from your
Server. This information will not be used to
identify or contact you. You agree to allow
the Software to conduct this authentication
process. If you have an unlicensed copy of
the Software, you are not allowed to install
the Software or future Software updates.
Additional information about activation is
available online at the Microsoft support
site.

3. CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES ('CALs'). The
Software licensing model consists of an
operating system license and incremental CALs,
so that the total cost for the Software
scales with usage. Several CAL types and
licensing modes are available to suit your
individual needs.

a. Windows Server 2003 Client Access License
('Windows CAL') Requirements. In addition to
the license for the Server Software, you must
acquire a Windows CAL for each individual
person ('User') or Device that accesses or
uses the Server Software, whether directly or
through a Multiplexing Service (defined
below). For example, a Windows CAL is
required for each User or Device that uses
any of the following services of the Server
Software:

· authentication services (when user or
application credentials are exchanged between
the Server Software and a User or Device),

· file services (accessing or managing files
or disk storage),

· printing services (printing to a printer
managed by the Server Software), or

· remote access service (accessing the
Server from a remote location through a
communications link, including a virtual
private network).

However, you do not need to acquire a
Windows CAL for any User or Device that
accesses the Server Software solely through
the Internet and is not authenticated or
otherwise individually distinguished by the
Server Software or a Multiplexing Service
(for example, by browsing a public website
anonymously). A 'Multiplexing Service' is a
software application or service accessing or
using the Server Software at the request of
or on behalf of a User or Device.

Further, you do not need to acquire a
Windows CAL for any User or Device that has a
valid Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 CAL,
is accessing Server Software that is not
operating as a domain controller, and is
within the same Small Business Server domain.

b. Types of Windows CALs. Two different
types of Windows CALs are available to you:
'Device' and 'User.' Each Windows Device CAL
permits one Device (used by any User) to
access or use the Server Software. Each
Windows User CAL permits one User (using any
Device) to access or use the Server Software.
You may use a mix of Windows Device CALs and
Windows User CALs simultaneously with the
Server Software.

c. Windows CAL Licensing Modes. At your
option, you may use Windows CALs with the
Server Software in either 'Per Device or Per
User' or 'Per Server' mode.

(i) In Per Device or Per User mode, a
separate Windows CAL is required for each
Device or User that accesses or uses Server
Software on any of your Servers. If you
choose Per Device or Per User mode, the
choice is permanent. In this mode, you may
reassign a Windows CAL from one Device to
another Device, or from one User to another
User, provided the reassignment is made
either (A) permanently away from the one
Device or User or (B) temporarily to
accommodate the use of the Windows CAL by a
loaner Device while a permanent Device is out
of service, or the use of the Window CAL by a
temporary worker while a regular employee is
absent.

(ii) In Per Server mode, the maximum number
of Devices and Users that may simultaneously
access or use Server Software installed on a
particular Server equals the number of
Windows CALs (of either type) that you
acquire and designate for use exclusively
with that Server. You have the one-time right
to change your use of the Server Software
from Per Server mode to Per Device or Per
User mode. If you do so, you may apply the
same number of Windows CALs you acquired for
use in Per Server mode in Per Device or Per
User mode instead.

d. Terminal Services Client Access License
('TS CAL') Requirements. In addition to a
Windows CAL, if you wish to conduct a Windows
Session, you must acquire a TS CAL for each
User or Device. A 'Windows Session' means a
session during which Server Software hosts a
graphical user interface on a Device (whether
via the Terminal Services component of the
Server Software or via other technology).

e. Types of TS CALs; TS CAL Licensing Modes.
Similar to Windows CALs, two different TS
CALs are available to you: 'Device' and 'User.'
Each TS Device CAL permits one Device (used
by any User) to conduct Windows Sessions on
any of your Servers. Each TS User CAL permits
one User (using any Device) to conduct
Windows Sessions on any of your Servers. You
may use a mix of TS Device CALs and TS User
CALs simultaneously with the Server Software.

(i) In Per Device or Per User mode, a
separate TS CAL is required for each Device
or User that accesses or uses Server Software
on any of your Servers. You may reassign a TS
CAL from one Device to another Device, or
from one User to another User, provided the
reassignment is made either (A) permanently
away from the one Device or User or (B)
temporarily to accommodate the use of the TS
CAL by a loaner Device while a permanent
Device is out of service, or the use of the
TS CAL by a temporary worker while a regular
employee is absent.

(ii) Windows Sessions are not allowed in Per
Server mode.

f. Premium Windows Server Services.
Microsoft may subsequently create new
software functionality ('Premium Services')
that you may wish to use with this version of
the Software. To make these Premium Services
available to you for use with this version of
the Software, Microsoft may provide them
under additional license terms and may charge
additional access license fees for you to
install and use them, if you choose.

g. Additional CAL Requirements.

(i) Single Licensee. Windows CALs, TS CALs,
and any future Premium Services CALs that you
acquire may not be used in conjunction with
Server Software licensed to anyone other than
you.

(ii) Version Matching. Each required CAL
must be version Windows Server 2003 or a
later version.

(iii) Administration. Up to two Users or
Devices may simultaneously access or use the
Server Software solely for administration of
the Server Software, without acquiring any
CALs. You do not need a TS CAL when attaching
to or mirroring the single Console Session.
The 'Console Session' is the Windows Session
that is conducted through the designated
primary keyboard and display device (or
similar peripherals).

4. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND
LIMITATIONS

a. Other Licenses. Your use of software
applications installed on the Server,
accessed through the Server, or providing
application-sharing functionality may require
additional licenses. Please consult the
license agreement accompanying such software.


b. Component Data Storage. The 32-bit
version of the Software contains components
that use the data storage technology known as
Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine for
Windows ('WMSDE'). All copies and instances
of WMSDE contained in or installed by those
Software components may be used only by those
Software components. Any such copy or
instance of WMSDE may not be accessed or used
for any other purpose. For example,
applications may not be created or run on the
Software if they access or use the services
or functionality of any copy or instance of
WMSDE contained in or installed by those
Software components. In addition, any WMSDE
network library files that are disabled at
the time you first install the Software may
not be re-enabled.

c. Automatic Internet-Based Services. The
Software features described below are enabled
by default to connect via the Internet to
Microsoft computer systems automatically,
without separate notice to you. These
features use standard Internet protocols,
which transmit information such as the type
of operating system, browser, IP address and
language code of your Server to the Microsoft
computer system. This information will not be
used to identify or contact you. You consent
to the operation of these features, unless
you choose to switch them off or not use them.
For more information about Internet-enabled
features, please see
<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=33575>,
your Software documentation or the Microsoft online
support site. Microsoft may occasionally update the
information at <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=33575>.
When we do so, the first Web page will indicate when the
material was last updated.

(i) Windows Update Features. Under the
Software's default configuration, if you
connect a device to your Server and the
correct device driver is not available on
your Server, then Windows Update features on
your Server (including Device Manager and the
Plug & Play CDM Module) automatically attempt
to check Microsoft computer systems via the
Internet for the correct device driver.
Having this happen automatically makes Plug-
and-Play installation of new hardware a
better experience for customers. You may
switch off Windows Update's automatic driver
checking feature.

(ii) Web Content Features. Under the
Software's default configuration, if you are
connected to the Internet, several features
of the Software are enabled by default to
retrieve content from Microsoft computer
systems and display it to you. When you
activate such a feature, it uses standard
Internet protocols, which transmit the type
of operating system, browser and language
code of your Server to the Microsoft computer
system so that the content can be viewed
properly from your Server. These features
only operate when you activate them, and you
may choose to switch them off or not use them.
Examples of these features include Windows
Catalog, Search Assistant, and the Headlines
and Search features of Help and Support
Center.

(iii) Digital Certificates. Use of
certificates based on the X.509 standard is
an important security feature of the Software.
Certain functions of the X.509 implementation
(for example, certificate revocation checking
and certificate path building) connect via
the Internet to computer systems belonging to
Microsoft and other digital certificate
authorities to check the validity of digital
certificates that you receive from third
parties during certain Internet-based
operations (for example, communications
secured with SSL or IPsec, mail secured with
S/MIME, and smartcard authentication). In
accordance with the X.509 standard, the
Software automatically retrieves user
certificates and certificate revocation lists
when you attempt to access certificate
protected content. Additionally, the
Software's Auto Root Update feature will
occasionally update the list of trusted
certificate authorities. Auto Root Update is
an optional feature; you can uninstall it if
you do not desire it to function. The other
security operations based on the X.509
standard can be prevented from operating by
blocking Server Internet access.

(iv) Windows Media Digital Rights Management.
Content providers are using the digital
rights management technology for Windows
Media contained in this Software ('WM-DRM')
to protect the integrity of their content
('Secure Content') so that their intellectual
property, including copyright, in such
content is not misappropriated. Portions of
this Software and third party applications
such as media players use WM-DRM to play
Secure Content ('WM-DRM Software'). If the WM-
DRM Software's security has been compromised,
owners of Secure Content ('Secure Content
Owners') may request that Microsoft revoke
the WM-DRM Software's right to copy, display
and/or play Secure Content. Revocation does
not alter the WM-DRM Software's ability to
play unprotected content. A list of revoked
WM-DRM Software is sent to your computer
whenever you download a license for Secure
Content from the Internet. Microsoft may, in
conjunction with such license, also download
revocation lists onto your computer on behalf
of Secure Content Owners. Secure Content
Owners may also require you to upgrade some
of the WM-DRM components in this Software
('WM-DRM Upgrades') before accessing their
content. When you attempt to play such
content, WM-DRM Software built by Microsoft
will notify you that a WM-DRM Upgrade is
required and then ask for your consent before
the WM-DRM Upgrade is downloaded. WM-DRM
Software built by third parties may do the
same. If you decline the upgrade, you will
not be able to access content that requires
the WM-DRM Upgrade; however, you will still
be able to access unprotected content and
Secure Content that does not require the
upgrade. WM-DRM features that access the
Internet, such as acquiring new licenses
and/or performing a required WM-DRM Upgrade,
can be switched off. When these features are
switched off, you will still be able to play
Secure Content if you have a valid license
for such content already stored on your
computer.

(v) Windows Media Player. Some features of
Windows Media Player automatically contact
Microsoft computer systems if you use Windows
Media Player or specific features of it:
features that (A) check for new codecs if
your Server does not have the correct ones
for content you attempt to play (this feature
may be switched off), and (B) check for new
versions of Windows Media Player (this
feature will operate only when you are using
Windows Media Player).

d. Benchmark Testing. The 32-bit version of
the Software contain the Microsoft .NET
Framework. Disclosure of the results of any
benchmark test of the .NET Framework
component of the Software to any third party
without Microsoft's prior written approval is
prohibited.

e. Reservation of Rights; Other Restrictions.
The Software is protected by copyright and
other intellectual property laws and treaties.
Microsoft or its suppliers own the title,
copyright, and other intellectual property
rights in the Software. The Software is
licensed, not sold. Microsoft reserves all
rights not expressly granted to you in this
EULA. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this EULA, neither this EULA nor any CAL
grants a license, under any Microsoft
intellectual property, to implement any
functionality contained in the Software
(including without limitation communication
protocols used by the Software) in any
software installed on a Device accessing or
utilizing the Server Software. Reverse
engineering, decompiling, or disassembling
the Software is prohibited, except and only
to the extent that such activity is expressly
permitted by applicable law notwithstanding
this limitation. Renting, leasing, or lending
the Software (including providing commercial
hosting services) is also prohibited.

5. PRODUCT SUPPORT SERVICES

a. Rights and Obligations. Microsoft may
provide you with product support services
related to the Software. Use of any such
support services is governed by the Microsoft
policies and programs described in the user
manual, in online documentation, on
Microsoft's support webpage, or in other
Microsoft-provided materials. Any software
Microsoft may provide you as part of support
services are governed by this EULA, unless
separate terms are provided. This EULA does
not obligate Microsoft to provide any support
services or to support any software provided
as part of those services.

b. Consent to Use of Data. You agree that
Microsoft and its affiliates may collect and
use technical information gathered as part of
the support services provided to you, if any,
related to the Software. Microsoft may use
this information solely to improve our
products or to provide customized services or
technologies to you and will not disclose
this information in a form that personally
identifies you.

6. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY INTERNET SITES. You
may link to third party Internet sites
through the use of the Software. Microsoft
does not control the third party sites, and
Microsoft is not responsible for the contents
of any third party sites, any links contained
in third party sites, or any changes or
updates to third party sites. Microsoft is
not responsible for web-casting or any other
form of transmission received from any third
party sites. Microsoft is providing you these
links to third party sites to you only as a
convenience, and the inclusion of any link
does not imply an endorsement by Microsoft of
the third party site.

7. UPGRADES/DOWNGRADES

a. Software upgrades generally. To use
Software identified as an upgrade by
Microsoft, it is required that you be
licensed for the software identified by
Microsoft as eligible for the upgrade. After
upgrading, the software that formed the basis
for your upgrade eligibility may no longer be
used. The resulting upgraded Software may be
used only in accordance with the terms of
this EULA.

b. Software upgrades for a component of
Microsoft BackOffice Server ('BackOffice
Server'). To use any Software as an upgrade
to a component of BackOffice Server, then the
requirements of this paragraph apply in
addition to those in the paragraph above. If
you upgrade to the Software from BackOffice
Server, the remaining components may only be
used in accordance with the terms of the
Microsoft End User License Agreement that
accompanied BackOffice Server. After an
upgrade of BackOffice Server, all Software
must run on the same Server on which
BackOffice Server is installed, unless the
upgrade is an Enterprise Edition, in which
case you may use the Software as stand-alone
software in accordance with the terms of this
EULA.

c. Software downgrades. Instead of
installing and using the Server Software, you
may install and use one copy of an earlier
version of the Server Software on a single
Server as follows: you may downgrade Windows
Server 2003, Standard Edition with Service
Pack 1 to Windows 2000 Server, or to Windows

to Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition.
You must completely remove any such earlier
version and install the Server Software
within a reasonable time. Your use of such
earlier version shall be governed by this
EULA, where applicable, and your rights to
use such earlier version shall terminate when
you install the current version of Server
Software.

d. CAL downgrades. You may use Windows
Device CALs and Windows User CALs with an
earlier version of the Software in accordance
with the terms of this EULA. You may use TS
Device CALs, but due to technical
incompatibilities not TS User CALs, with
earlier versions of the Software in
accordance with the terms of this EULA.

8. Not for Resale Software. Software
identified as 'Not for Resale' or 'NFR,' may
not be sold or otherwise transferred for
value or used for any purpose other than
demonstration, test or evaluation.

9. Academic Edition Software. To use

this EULA and Software to another end user,
provided the initial user retains no copies
of the Software. The transfer must include
all of the Software (including all component
parts, the media and printed materials, any
upgrades, 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 Software must agree to all
the EULA terms.

12. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any
other rights, Microsoft may terminate this
EULA if you are not in compliance with all

The following Limited Warranty applies if
you acquired this Product in the US or
Canada:

14. LIMITED WARRANTY FOR Software ACQUIRED
IN THE US AND CANADA.
Microsoft warrants that the Software will
perform substantially in accordance with the
accompanying materials for a period of ninety
(90) 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-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 Software,
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 Software 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 16
('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 other rights which
vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Microsoft's and its
suppliers' entire liability and your
exclusive remedy for any breach of this
Limited Warranty or for any other breach of
this EULA or for any other liability relating
to the Software shall be, at Microsoft's
option from time to time exercised subject to
applicable law, (a) return of the amount paid
(if any) for the Software, or (b) repair or
replacement of the Software, 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 Software to
Microsoft). This Limited Warranty is void if
failure of the Software has resulted from
accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use
or a virus. Any replacement Software will be
warranted for the remainder of the original
warranty period or thirty (30) days,
whichever is longer, and Microsoft will use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide
your remedy within a commercially reasonable
time of your compliance with Microsoft's
warranty remedy procedures. 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 98052-6399, or the Microsoft subsidiary
serving your country.

Warranty that appears above is the only
express warranty made to you and is provided
in lieu of any other express warranties or

Si vous avez acquis votre produit Microsoft
au CANADA, la garantie limitée suivante
s'applique :

GARANTIE LIMITÉE

Microsoft garantit que le Logiciel
fonctionnera conformément aux documents
inclus pendant une période de 90 jours
suivant la date de réception.

Si une garantie ou condition implicite est
créée par votre État ou votre territoire et
qu'une loi fédérale ou provinciale ou d'un
État en interdit le déni, vous jouissez
également d'une garantie ou condition
implicite, MAIS UNIQUEMENT POUR LES DÉFAUTS
DÉCOUVERTS DURANT LA PÉRIODE DE LA PRÉSENTE
GARANTIE LIMITÉE (QUATRE-VINGT-DIX JOURS). IL
N'Y A AUCUNE GARANTIE OU CONDITION DE QUELQUE
NATURE QUE CE SOIT QUANT AUX DÉFAUTS
DÉCOUVERTS APRES CETTE PÉRIODE DE QUATRE-
VINGT-DIX JOURS. Certains États ou
territoires ne permettent pas de limiter la
durée d'une garantie ou condition implicite
de sorte que la limitation ci-dessus peut ne
pas s'appliquer à vous.

Tous les suppléments ou toutes les mises à
jour relatifs au Logiciel, notamment, les
ensembles de services ou les réparations à
chaud (le cas échéant) qui vous sont fournis
après l'expiration de la période de quatre-
vingt-dix jours de la garantie limitée ne
sont pas couverts par quelque garantie ou
condition que ce soit, expresse, implicite ou
en vertu de la loi.

LIMITATION DES RECOURS; ABSENCE DE DOMMAGES
INDIRECTS OU AUTRES. Votre recours exclusif
pour toute violation de la présente garantie
limitée est décrit ci-après. Sauf pour tout
remboursement au choix de Microsoft, si le

de Microsoft et, dans la mesure maximale
permise par les lois applicables, même si
tout recours n'atteint pas son but essentiel,
VOUS N'AVEZ DROIT A AUCUNS DOMMAGES,
NOTAMMENT DES DOMMAGES INDIRECTS. Les termes
de la clause "Exclusion des dommages
accessoires, indirects et de certains autres
dommages " sont également intégrées à la
présente garantie limitée. Certains États ou
territoires ne permettent pas l'exclusion ou
la limitation des dommages indirects ou
accessoires de sorte que la limitation ou
l'exclusion ci-dessus peut ne pas s'appliquer
à vous. La présente garantie limitée vous
donne des droits légaux spécifiques. Vous
pouvez avoir d'autres droits qui peuvent
varier d'un territoire ou d'un État à un
autre.

VOTRE RECOURS EXCLUSIF. La seule
responsabilité obligation de Microsoft et de
ses fournisseurs et votre recours exclusif

autre sous réserve de toute loi applicable,
a) le remboursement du prix payé, le cas
échéant, pour le Logiciel ou b) la réparation
ou le remplacement du Logiciel qui ne
respecte pas la présente garantie limitée et
qui est retourné à Microsoft avec une copie
de votre reçu. Vous recevrez la compensation
choisie par Microsoft, sans frais, sauf que
vous êtes responsable des dépenses que vous
pourriez engager (p. ex., les frais d'envoi
du Logiciel à Microsoft). La présente
garantie limitée est nulle si la défectuosité
du Logiciel est causée par un accident, un
usage abusif, une mauvaise application, un
usage anormal ou un virus. Tout Logiciel de
remplacement sera garanti pour le reste de la
période initiale de la garantie ou pendant
trente (30) jours, selon la plus longue entre
ces deux périodes. A l'extérieur des États-
Unis ou du Canada, ces recours ou l'un
quelconque des services de soutien technique
offerts par Microsoft ne sont pas disponibles
sans preuve d'achat d'une source
internationale autorisée. Pour exercer votre
recours, vous devez communiquer avec
Microsoft et vous adresser au Microsoft Sales
Information Center/One Microsoft Way/Redmond,
WA 98052-6399, ou à la filiale de Microsoft
de votre pays.

DÉNI DE GARANTIES. La garantie limitée qui
apparaît ci-dessus constitue la seule
garantie expresse qui vous est donnée et
remplace toutes autres garanties expresses
(s'il en est) crées par une publicité, un
document, un emballage ou une autre
communication. Sauf en ce qui a trait à la
garantie limitée et dans la mesure maximale
permise par les lois applicables, le Logiciel
et les services de soutien technique (le cas
échéant) sont fournis TELS QUELS ET AVEC TOUS
LES DÉFAUTS par Microsoft et ses fournisseurs,

de soutien technique ou à l'égard de la
fourniture ou de l'omission de la fourniture
de tous autres services, renseignements,
logiciels, et contenu qui s'y rapporte grâce
au Logiciel ou provenant autrement de
l'utilisation du Logiciel. PAR AILLEURS, IL

POSSESSION PAISIBLE, A LA CONCORDANCE A UNE
DESCRIPTION NI QUANT A UNE ABSENCE DE
CONTREFAÇON CONCERNANT LE LOGICIEL.

The following MICROSOFT GUARANTEE applies to
you if you acquired this Software in any
other country:

Statutory rights not affected - The
following guarantee is not restricted to any
territory and does not affect any statutory
rights that you may have from your reseller
or from Microsoft if you acquired the
Software directly from Microsoft. If you
acquired the Software or any support services
in Australia, New Zealand or Malaysia, please
see the 'Consumer rights' section below.

The guarantee - The Software is designed and
offered as a general-purpose software, not
for any user's particular purpose. You accept
that no Software is error free and you are
strongly advised to back-up your files
regularly. Provided that you have a valid
license, Microsoft guarantees that (a) for a
period of 90 days from the date of receipt of
your license to use the Software or the
shortest period permitted by applicable law
it will perform substantially in accordance
with the written materials that accompany the
Software; and (b) any support services
provided by Microsoft shall be substantially
as described in applicable written materials
provided to you by Microsoft and Microsoft

care and skill to solve any problem issues.
In the event that the Software fails to
comply with this guarantee, Microsoft will
either (a) repair or replace the Software or
(b) return the price you paid. This guarantee
is void if failure of the Software results
from accident, abuse or misapplication. Any
replacement Software will be guaranteed for
the remainder of the original guarantee
period or 30 days, whichever period is longer.
You agree that the above guarantee is your
sole guarantee in relation to the Software
and any support services.

Exclusion of All Other Terms - To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law
and subject to the guarantee above, Microsoft
disclaims all warranties, conditions and
other terms, either express or implied
(whether by statute, common law, collaterally
or otherwise) including but not limited to
implied warranties of satisfactory quality
and fitness for particular purpose with
respect to the Software and the written
materials that accompany the Software. Any
implied warranties that cannot be excluded
are limited to 90 days or to the shortest
period permitted by applicable law, whichever

Limitation of Liability - To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law and except
as provided in the Microsoft Guarantee,
Microsoft and its suppliers shall not be
liable for any damages whatsoever (including
without limitation, damages for loss of
business profits, business interruption, loss
of business information or other pecuniary
loss) arising out of the use or inability to
use the Software, even if Microsoft has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.
In any case Microsoft's entire liability
under any provision of this Agreement shall
be limited to the amount actually paid by you
for the Software. These limitations do not
apply to any liabilities that cannot be
excluded or limited by applicable laws.

Consumer rights - Consumers in Australia,
New Zealand or Malaysia may have the benefit
of certain rights and remedies by reason of
the Trade Practices Act and similar state and
territory laws in Australia, the Consumer
Guarantees Act in New Zealand and the
Consumer Protection Act in Malaysia in
respect of which liability cannot lawfully be
modified or excluded. If you acquired the
Software in New Zealand for the purposes of a
business, you confirm that the Consumer
Guarantees Act does not apply. If you
acquired the Software in Australia and if
Microsoft breaches a condition or warranty
implied under any law which cannot lawfully
be modified or excluded by this agreement
then, to the extent permitted by law,
Microsoft's liability is limited, at
Microsoft's option, to: (i) in the case of
the Software: (a) repairing or replacing the
Software; or (b) the cost of such repair or
replacement; and (ii) in the case of support

False. There are two types of OEMs, branded and generic. Do you have a
problem with the English language?

Hi Alias
I am sure I read something done by Michael Stevens regarding a
generic OEM - or was it a dream?
Antioch
P.S
Was it you who posted the whole EULA in this thread?
Why is the OP still asking for it -
Quote,
'The request is quite simple. I'd like someone to post the text of an OEM XP
EULA. A recent one from a version of XP that came with SP2 included. That's
all I've asked. '

I suggested they search Microsoft for it :-) :-)
I have already told him what comes with an OEM disk.
I'm finished here - its doing my brain untold damage.
 
With current OEM product the end user is the system builder and has to agree
to the SBL. Current OEM XP one packs come in a bubble envelope with the SBL
on the outside. This has been the case for almost a year now. Distributors
and OEMs can only sell full unopened packs of OEM software (one pack, three
pack, thirty pack, etc.). Once an OEM pack has been opened it cannot be
returned and it must be installed on a computer before it can be resold.
Anyone who says they are building a computer can be considered a system
builder. If they only want one copy you have to sell them an unopened one
pack which has the SBL on it. Anyone breaking down larger packs and selling
them individually is breaking the SBL agreement with Microsoft. No one
should be currently getting OEM software without the SBL on it. I'm not
saying I agree with the terms of the SBL just that anyone currently buying
OEM XP should be aware of the SBL. It was on the package.

Well, thanks you everyone for your efforts, anyway. I'll just sit tight for
now.

If you have an SP2 CD (not XP SP2, but just SP2 CD), it may be on there.
I have one but I'm going to bed now ...

Alias
 
Don't bother .. I don't want the SP2 EULA .. I want the EULA of Windows -
specifically a recent version of OEM Windows XP - by recent I mean one that
came out AFTER SP2 was integrated into Windows. But thanks anyway.
