END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
Microsoft SERVER APPLIANCE KIT Version 3.0 
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 (“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 PRODUCT”).  An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.  YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL, COPY, OR USE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT. 
										
Software product LICENSE

NOTICE: The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is a tool kit designed to work with the standard and enterprise editions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003.  This EULA grants you the right to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT only in conjunction with a validly licensed copy of such Microsoft Windows Server 2003 software products.  This EULA does not give you any rights to install, use or distribute Microsoft Windows 2003 Server software.  You must acquire separate licenses to obtain such rights. 

1.	CAPITALIZED TERMS. The following capitalized terms used in this EULA are defined as follows:
•	“Windows 2003” means Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition and/or Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition. 
•	“Windows-based Server Appliance” means an industry or task-specific device running Windows 2003 (as opposed to a "General Purpose Device," described below) where the device's base functionality, and the extent to which that base functionality can be enhanced after manufacture, is limited and fixed at the time of manufacture. Such limitations on after-manufacture enhancements include both hardware and software enhancements. The limitations on the device as manufactured must not allow the product's base functionality to be significantly modified.  An example of such a device is a storage server device for storing data.  For task-specific devices, a manufacturer may provide after-manufacture enhancements to the software to fix defects, improve performance, or enhance the base functionality. An example of an enhancement to the base functionality for a storage server appliance is a module to interpret a new file sharing protocol.  A manufacturer may not provide after-manufacture enhancements that turn the task-specific device into a General Purpose Device.  A “General Purpose Device” is a device that provides, in place of or in addition to, task-specific functionality, general purpose server functionality that can be easily modified by the end customer to add hardware, applications, or enable services that add complete new functionalities to, or in place of, the task-specific functionality that was implemented at time of manufacture. 

•	“Windows-based Server Appliance Software” means the components of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT installed by running SaSetup30.msi under the folders named %systemroot%\system32\serverappliance and %systemroot%\system32\serverappliance\shares.  

2.	GRANT OF LICENSE.  This EULA grants you the following rights:

a.	SOFTWARE PRODUCT.  Microsoft grants you a personal, nonexclusive, non-transferable, limited license to reproduce, install and use a reasonable number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on computers residing on your premises for the sole purposes of developing and testing (i) Windows-based Server Appliance(s) and (ii) your software applications and device drivers for a Windows-based Server Appliance (“Application”).  
b.	Sample Code. Microsoft grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to copy and modify those portions of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that are identified as “samples” and located in the “\SDK” directories (“Sample Code”) solely for the development and testing purposes described in Section 2(a) above.  Microsoft also grants you the non-exclusive and limited right to reproduce and distribute the Sample Code, along with any modifications made thereto (collectively “Redistributable Code”), in source and object code form, provided that you comply with the Redistribution Requirements set forth in Section 2(c) below and otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA, including without limitation Section 2(d) below.   
c.	Redistribution Requirements.  If you redistribute any of the Redistributable Code you agree to: (i) distribute the Redistributable Code only for use with and as a part of your Application or validly licensed Windows-based Server Appliance that adds significant and primary functionality to the Redistributable Code; (ii) not use Microsoft’s name, logo, or trademarks to advertise, market or promote your Windows-based Server Appliance or Application, except as may be otherwise required or permitted pursuant to a separate written agreement; (iii) include a valid copyright notice on your Windows-based Server Appliance or Application; (iv) maintain the size, placement, and presentation order of any Microsoft Windows Powered logos which appear in the Windows-based Server Appliance Software; (v) indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Microsoft from and against any claims or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of your Windows-based Server Appliance or Application; and (vi) not permit further distribution of the Redistributable Code outside of  the distribution of your Windows-based Server Appliance or Application. Note, as provided in Section 3(c), this EULA does not grant to you any rights to distribute Windows-based Server Appliance Software or Windows 2003.
d.	Excluded License. If you use the Sample Code, then in addition to your compliance with the applicable distribution requirements described for the Redistributable Code, the following also applies: Your license rights to the Sample Code is conditioned upon your not (i) creating derivative works of the Sample Code in any manner that would cause the Sample Code, or derivative works thereof, in whole or in part, to become subject to any of the terms of an Excluded License; or (ii) distributing the Redistributable Code or derivative works thereof in any manner that would cause the Redistributable Code or derivative works thereof to become subject to any of the terms of an Excluded License.  An “Excluded License” is any license that requires as a condition of use, modification and/or distribution of software subject to the Excluded License, that such software or other software combined and/or distributed with such software be (x) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (y) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (z) redistributable at no charge.
e.	Windows-based Server Appliance Software.  This EULA does not grant to you any rights to distribute the Windows-based Server Appliance Software.

Additional features may be required for specific device types as described in the applicable distribution agreement (see Section 3(c) below); (iv) you may not modify any files installed by SaSetup30.msi under the %systemroot%\system32\serverappliance folder; (v) you may not modify any registry values installed by SaSetup30.msi under \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Server Appliance registry key; (vi) if  you develop additional features for the Web UI, these features must be developed according the requirements defined in the  “Software Development Kit” section of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT documentation, and you may only make such additions that are consistent with the graphical appearance of the Web UI; (vii) your Windows-based Server Appliance must interoperate with the features installed using SaSetup30.msi and it must also maintain the size, placement and presentation order of any Microsoft Windows Powered logos which appear when you install SaSetup30.msi; and (viii) your Windows-based Server Appliance must not obscure or delete, in any way, the Web UI screens created by running SaSetup30.msi, except where allowed in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT documentation as noted above.
