MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER CODE NAME "CENTRO"
Channel: _default-ServerEssentialManagement - Language: Simplified Chinese. These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you.  Please read them.  They apply to the pre-release software named above, which includes the media on which you received it, if any.  The terms also apply to any Microsoft
•	updates,
•	supplements,
•	Internet-based services, and 
•	support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items.  If so, those terms apply.
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, USING SOME FEATURES ALSO OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF CERTAIN STANDARD COMPUTER INFORMATION FOR INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.
If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.
1.	INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.  
•	You may install and use any number of copies of the software on your premises to design, develop and test your programs for use with the software.  You may use as many copies of the software as the product key permits.
•	You may not test the software in a live operating environment unless Microsoft permits you to do so under another agreement.
2.	INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.  Microsoft provides Internet-based services with the software.  It may change or cancel them at any time.
a.	Updates in Setup.  During the setup of the software, updates will be automatically downloaded from Microsoft as a part of the setup process.  
b.	Consent for Internet-Based Services.  The software features described below connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the Internet.  In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect.  You may switch off these features or not use them.  For more information about these features, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=38670.  BY USING THESE FEATURES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION.  Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you.
i.	Computer Information.  The following features use Internet protocols, which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed the software.  Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based services available to you.
•	Windows Update Feature.  You may connect new hardware to the device where you installed the software.  Your device may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that hardware.  If so, the update feature of the software can obtain the correct driver from Microsoft and install it on your device.  You can switch off this update feature.
•	Web Content Features.  Features in the software can retrieve related content from Microsoft and provide it to you.  To provide the content, these features send to Microsoft the type of operating system, name and version of the software you are using, type of browser and language code of the device where you installed the software.  Examples of these features are clip art, templates, online training, online assistance and Appshelp.  You may choose not to use these web content features.
•	Digital Certificates.  The software uses digital certificates.  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.
•	Windows Media Digital Rights Management.  Content owners use Windows Media digital rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights.   This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRM-protected content.  If the software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the software’s ability to use WMDRM to play or copy protected content.  Revocation does not affect other content.  When you download licenses for protected content, you agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses.  Content owners may require you to upgrade WMDRM to access their content.  Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask for your consent prior to the upgrade.  If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade.  You may switch off WMDRM features that access the Internet.  When these features are off, you can still play content for which you have a valid license.
•	Windows Media Player.  When you use Windows Media Player, it checks with Microsoft for
•	compatible online music services in your region;
•	new versions of the player; and
•	codecs if your device does not have the correct ones for playing content.
You can switch off this last feature.  For more information, go to www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/privacy.aspx.
•	Windows Rights Management Services.  The software contains a feature that allows you to create content that cannot be printed, copied or sent to others without your permission. You must connect to Microsoft to use this feature for the first time.  Once a year, you must re-connect to Microsoft to update it. For more information, go to www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS/RM/PRIVACY.  You may choose not to use this feature.
•	Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and Error Reports.  This software uses CEIP, which automatically sends to Microsoft anonymous information about your hardware and how you use this software.  For more information about CEIP, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=19422.  This software also automatically sends error reports to Microsoft that describe which software components had errors.  Reports might unintentionally contain personal information.  For example, a report that contains a snapshot of computer memory might include your name, part of a document you were working on, or data that you recently submitted to a website    Microsoft does not use the information in error reports to identify you or contact you.  For more information about error reports, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=31490.
ii.	Use of Information.  We may use the computer information, error reports, and CEIP information, to improve our software and services.  We may also share it with others, such as hardware and software vendors.  They may use the information to improve how their products run with Microsoft software.
c.	Misuse of Internet-based Services.  You may not use these services in any way that could harm them or impair anyone else’s use of them.  You may not use the services to try to gain unauthorized access to any service, data, account or network by any means.

Some changes to your computer components or the software may require you to reactivate the software.  THE SOFTWARE WILL REMIND YOU TO ACTIVATE UNTIL YOU DO.
5.	PRODUCT KEYS.  The software requires a key to install or access it.  You are responsible for the use of keys assigned to you.  You should not share the keys with third parties.

7.	FEEDBACK.  Because this is pre-release software, you agree to give feedback about the software to Microsoft.  You give to Microsoft, without charge, the right to use, share and commercialize your feedback in any way and for any purpose.  You also give to third parties, without charge, any patent rights needed for their products, technologies and services to use or interface with any specific parts of a Microsoft software or service that includes the feedback.

These rights survive this agreement.

You may conduct internal benchmark testing of the .NET (“.NET Component”).  You may disclose the results of any benchmark test of the .NET Component, provided that you comply with the following terms:  (1) you must disclose all the information necessary for replication of the tests, including complete and accurate details of your benchmark testing methodology, the test scripts/cases, tuning parameters applied, hardware and software platforms tested, the name and version number of any third party testing tool used to conduct the testing, and complete source code for the benchmark suite/harness that is developed by or for you and used to test both the .NET Component and the competing implementation(s); (2) you must disclose the date(s) that you conducted the benchmark tests, along with specific version information for all Microsoft software products tested, including the .NET Component; (3) your benchmark testing was performed using all performance tuning and best practice guidance set forth in the product documentation and/or on Microsoft’s support web sites, and uses the latest updates, patches and fixes available for the .NET Component and the relevant Microsoft operating system; (4) it shall be sufficient if you make the disclosures provided for above at a publicly available location such as a website, so long as every public disclosure of the results of your benchmark test expressly identifies the public site containing all required disclosures; and (5) nothing in this provision shall be deemed to waive any other right that you may have to conduct benchmark testing.  The foregoing obligations shall not apply to your disclosure of the results of any customized benchmark test of the .NET Component, whereby such disclosure is made under confidentiality in conjunction with a bid request by a prospective customer, such customer’s application(s) are specifically tested and the results are only disclosed to such specific customer.  Notwithstanding any other agreement you may have with Microsoft, if you disclose such benchmark test results, Microsoft shall have the right to disclose the results of benchmark tests it conducts of your products that compete with the .NET Component, provided it complies with the same conditions above.
