  Important Windows Vista Licensing Changes
Time: 01:53 EST/06:53 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Robert McLaw from Windows Now writes: Ed Bott tells us about changes to the Windows Vista EULA. But that's not the whole story. Starting on Page 11, here is a synopsis of what I believe are the most far-reaching changes, as I have interpreted them:

Home Basic

  • Can't copy ISO to your hard drive
  • Can't install to a network server
  • You may share files, printers, etc with a maximum of 5 network devices
  • You MAY NOT use Remote Desktop, only Remote Assistance
  • You MAY NOT use in Virtual PC | Virtual Server |VMWare

Home Premium

  • Still can't copy ISO to your hard drive
  • Still can't install to a network server
  • Sharing for 10 network devices
  • Still no Remote Desktop
  • Still no virtual hardware
  • 5 simultaneous Media Center Extender sessions (up from 3 in MCE 2005)

Ultimate

  • Can copy ISO to your hard drive
  • Can install to a network server (I'm assuming for Terminal Server scenarios)
  • Sharing for 10 network devices
  • Can use Remote Desktop
  • Can use in a virtualized environment, BUT
  • Can't use DRM-protected content if Vista Ultimate is the "guest" OS
  • Can't use BitLocker if Vista Ultimate is the "guest" OS
  • 5 Media Center Extender sessions
