Hi One for the lawyers...
I read a lot about this restriction of using some editions of Vista with virtual systems, but is it absolutely clear this use is restricted? The following is the sentence from the EULA that I have seen quoted in many places:
“USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system.”
I've never seen this placed in the wider context of the entire license, but I wonder what the phrase "licensed device" refers to. Is the device in this case the disk that contains Vista? If so, then it seems clear you can't use it on a virtual system (legal challenges notwithstanding). But the wording sounds to me more like an OEM license, where "licensed device" is the computer you bought which already had Vista installed. In that case, I don't think it's so different from existing OEM licensing of Windows.
Can anyone clear this up? Cheers Dave_______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
