server software and additional software that may only be used with the server software directly, or indirectly through other additional software.
IF YOU COMPLY WITH THESE LICENSE TERMS, YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS BELOW FOR
EACH SOFTWARE LICENSE YOU ACQUIRE.
1.
OVERVIEW.
1.1 Software.
The software includes
·
server software, and
·
additional software that may only be used with
the server software directly, or indirectly through other additional software.
1.2 License
Model. The software is licensed based on
·
the number of operating system environments
(OSEs) in which the server software is run, and
·
the number of devices and users that access
instances of server software.
1.3 Licensing
Terminology.
·
Instance. You create an “instance” of the software by executing the software’s
setup or install procedure. You also create an instance of the software by
duplicating an existing instance. References to the “software” in this
agreement include “instances” of the software.
·
Run an Instance. You “run an instance” of the software by loading it into memory and
executing one or more of its instructions. Once running, an instance is
considered to be running (whether or not its instructions continue to execute)
until it is removed from memory.
·
Operating System Environment
(“OSE”). An “operating system environment” or “OSE” is
(i)
all or part of an operating system instance, or
all or part of a virtual (or otherwise emulated) operating system instance
which enables separate machine identity (primary computer name or similar
unique identifier) or separate administrative rights; and
(ii)
instances of applications, if any, configured
to run on the operating system instance or part identified above.
A physical hardware system can have either
or both of the following:
·
one physical operating system environment;
·
one or more virtual operating system
environments.
A physical operating system environment is configured to run directly
on a physical hardware system. The operating system instance used to run
hardware virtualization software or to provide hardware virtualization services
(e.g., Microsoft virtualization technology or similar technologies) is
considered part of the physical operating system environment.
A virtual operating system environment is
configured to run on a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system.
·
Server.
A server is a physical hardware system capable of running server
software. A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate physical
hardware system.
·
Physical Core. A physical core is a
core in a physical processor. A physical
processor consists of one or more physical cores.
·
Hardware Thread. A hardware thread is either a physical core
or a hyper-thread in a physical processor.
·
Virtual Core. A virtual core is the unit of processing power in a virtual (or
otherwise emulated) hardware system. A
virtual core is the virtual representation of one or more hardware
threads. Virtual OSEs use one or more
virtual cores.
·
Assigning a License. To assign a license means simply to designate that license to one
server, device or user.
2.
USE RIGHTS.
2.1
Assigning the License to the Server.
a) Before you run
any instance of the server software under a software license, you must assign
that license to one of your servers. That server is the licensed server for
that particular license. You may assign other software licenses to the same
server, but you may not assign the same license to more than one server.
b) You may reassign a software license, but not within 90 days of the last
assignment. You may reassign a software license sooner if you retire the
licensed server due to permanent hardware failure. If you reassign a license,
the server to which you reassign the license becomes the new licensed server
for that license.
2.2 Running
Instances of the Server Software. Once you have assigned the
license to the server, you
may run any number of instances of the server software in up to four OSEs
(physical and/or virtual) on the licensed server at a time, provided that:
(a) if you are running the software in a
physical OSE, the OSE may access up to 20 physical cores at any time, and
(b) if
you are running the software in one or more virtual OSEs, that group of OSEs
may access up to 20 hardware threads at any time.
2.3 Assigning
Additional Licenses. You may assign more than one license to a server. For each
additional license you assign, you may run any number of instances of the
server software in up to four additional virtual OSEs on the licensed server at
any time. That group of up to four OSEs may access up to 20 additional
hardware threads at any time.
2.4 Alternative
Versions and Editions. In place of any permitted instance, you may create,
store and use an instance of any earlier version, lower edition or an earlier
version of a lower edition.
This agreement
applies to your use of these other versions or editions in this manner. If the earlier version or edition includes
components not covered in this agreement, the terms that are associated with
those components in the earlier version or edition apply to your use of them.
Microsoft is not obligated to supply any prior or different versions or
editions of the software to you.
The software may include more than one version, such
as 32-bit and 64-bit. For each instance
of the software that you are permitted to create, store and run, you may use
either version.
2.5 Running
Instances of the Additional Software. You may run or otherwise use any number of instances of
additional software listed below in physical or virtual operating system
environments on any number of devices. You may use additional software only
with the server software directly, or indirectly through other additional
software.

2.6 Creating
and Storing Instances on Your Servers or Storage Media. You have the additional rights listed below for each
software license you acquire.
(a) You may
create any number of instances of the server software and additional software.
(b) You may
store instances of the server software and additional software on any of your
servers or storage media.
(c) You may
create and store instances of the server software and additional software
solely to exercise your right to run instances of the server software under any
of your software licenses as described (e.g., you may not distribute instances
to third parties).
2.7 Included
Microsoft Programs. The software includes other
Microsoft programs listed at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=298186. Microsoft
is making these programs available to you as a convenience only and these
programs are licensed and supported under their own separate terms and
policies. You may only use these programs in conjunction with the software
licensed here. If you do not agree to the license terms for these
programs, you may not use them.
