Commercial use in licenses for personal license for Windows 8

Dear community,

After talking with some people I ask this question which is much broader than my previous:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/Windows-8-personal-use-license-what-exactly-is/88ef8edf-AA1C-413c-9b3a-1503fcad0529

The license agreement end user for personal use license seems to allow a kind of commercial use: "If you use the software as an operating system for commercial use, you may not license more than five copies of the software for such commercial use altogether.

For example, the execution as an additional operating system on a virtual machine or a separate partition seems that it cannot be restricted in 'personal use '.

Please can someone explain what commercial uses are allowed?

Microsoft licenses/litigation has been very helpful.

Thank you
Matej

Matej salvation,

Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. Appropriate in the TechNet forums.

See these articles more about this license:

  • Pair several devices on the same COM Port that use the stack for windows by toshiba bluetooth?

    I have several instances of the same device...

    I wish that they all use the same COM Port when connecting to my Toughbook.
    The application that will receive data from these devices will only monitor a single COM Port assigned to.

    I have only one active connection both for couples... That's why Ifeel, this should be possible.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please contact the Microsoft Community Forums. I understand you want to pair multiple devices on the same COM Port using Bluetooth.

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to pair multiple devices on the same COM Port using Bluetooth as it is by design.

    With the help of Windows-related issues feel free to post on the Forums of community of Microsoft, we will be happy to help you.

  • Virtual MACHINE created on VMWare Workstation for Windows - move to VMWare Workstation for Linux?

    I have a bunch of VMs that I built using VMWare Workstation for Windows running on a Win2003 Server 7.1.3. The virtual machine is running Windows XP sp3. Can I move these Ubuntu VM to run under VMWare for Linux, if I buy a license for the current version or any version?

    Thank you

    Yes, but with some reservations.  Of course, Windows and Linux use different ways to represent the paths and devices so a few changes to the virtual machine may be necessary.  All that is hard coded in the configuration file .vmx depicting the paths of type Windows and device names must be changed by the GUI settings or manually edit the .vmx config file.  In addition any virtual machine containing snapshots where the parentFileNameHint in the DescriptorFile of disc, so drowned in a monolithicSparse or the first measure not binary snapshot virtual hard drive, which uses a QPF (fully qualified path name), it will have to be changed.  If you are unsure how to do this then I suggest a delete all snapshots before moving on to another system.

    A Windows VM that fall under the WPA will in all likelihood have to be reactivated if the host CPU are not in the same class.

    If you copy a Windows VM for the delivery of a copy on the source system, that you must have and or get the appropriate number of licenses and or product keys for the copy number you keep.
