Universal License Terms (Volume Licensing)

Universal License TermsThese license terms apply universally to your use of Microsoft software and online services licensed under your volume licensing agreement.

Definitions
Terms used in these Product Use Rights but not defined will have the definition provided in your volume licensing agreement. The following definitions also apply:

Additive CAL means a CAL that must be used on conjunction with a base CAL.

Additive External Connector License means an External Connector License that must be used in conjunction with a base External Connector License.

CAL means client access license. There are two kinds of CALs:  user and device.  A user CAL allows access to the server software from any device by one user.  A device CAL allows access to the server software from one device by any user.

Client OSE means an OSE running a client operating system.

Clustered HPC Application means high performance computing applications that solve complex computational problems, or a set of closely related computational problems in parallel. Clustered HPC applications divide a computationally complex problem into a set of jobs and tasks which are coordinated by a job scheduler, such as provided by Microsoft HPC Pack, or similar HPC middleware, which distributes these in parallel across one or more computers operating within an HPC cluster.

Cluster Node means a device that is dedicated to running Clustered HPC Applications or providing job scheduling services for Clustered HPC Applications.

Core Factor means a numerical value associated with a specific physical processor for purposes of determining the number of licenses required to license all of the physical cores on a server.

Core Infrastructure Server (CIS) software means the set of individual Microsoft products for which you are granted use, access or management rights under a particular edition of the CIS Suite license. CIS software includes the latest versions of those products made available during the term of your Software Assurance coverage (and any prior version).

Customer Data means all data, including all text, sound, or image files and software that are provided to us by, or on behalf of, you through your use of the online service.

Cycle Harvesting Node means a device that is not dedicated to running Clustered HPC Applications or job scheduling services for Clustered HPC Applications.

External Connector License means a license attached to a Server that permits access to the server software by External Users.

External Users means users that are not either your or your affiliates’ employees, or your or your affiliates’ onsite contractors or onsite agents.

Fleet Applications means software that uses MapPoint, and data from sensors used specifically with multiple vehicles to provide location information (such as GPS systems and triangulation devices).

Hardware Thread means either a Physical Core or a hyper-thread in a Physical Processor.

High Performance Computing (“HPC”) Workload means a workload where the server software is used to run a Cluster Node and is used in conjunction with other software as necessary to permit security, storage, performance enhancement and systems management on a Cluster Node for the purpose of supporting the Clustered HPC Applications.

Instance means an image of software that is created by executing the software’s setup or install procedure or by duplicating an existing Instance.

Licensed Device means the single physical hardware system to which a license is assigned.  For purposes of this definition, a hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.

Licensed Server means the single Server to which a license is assigned. For purposes of this definition, a hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate Server.

Licensed User means the single person to whom a license is assigned.

Location Lookup Transactions means transactions that identify the street address or intersection of streets.  They include the raster or vector image depicting such location on a map, based on the user’s search.

Management License means a license that permits management of one or more OSEs.  There are two categories of Management Licenses: Server Management License and Client Management License. There are three types of Client Management Licenses: User, OSE and device.  A User Management License permits management of any OSE accessed by one user; a OSE Management License permits management of one OSE accessed by any user; a device Management License (Core CAL or ECAL) permits management of any OSE on one device.

Managing an OSE means to solicit or receive data about, configure, or give instructions to the hardware or software that is directly or indirectly associated with the OSE.  It does not include discovering the presence of a device or OSE.

Map Transactions means transactions that involve a single raster or vector image depicting one of the following:

• a sensor-generated location to identify the location and scale of the raster or vector map, or

• a map for a pre-determined specified geographical area for use to display the vector image.

Non-Microsoft Product means any software, data, service, website or other product licensed, sold or otherwise provided to you by an entity other than us, whether you obtained it via our online services or elsewhere.

Operating System Environment (OSE) means 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 instances of applications, if any, configured to run on the operating system Instance or parts identified above. There are two types of OSEs, physical and virtual.  A physical hardware system can have one Physical OSE and/or one or more Virtual OSEs.

Physical Core means a core in a Physical Processor.

Physical OSE means an OSE that is configured to run directly on a physical hardware system.  The operating system Instance used to run hardware virtualization software (e.g. Microsoft Hyper-V Server or similar technologies) or to provide hardware virtualization services (e.g. Microsoft virtualization technology or similar technologies) is considered part of the Physical OSE.

Physical Processor means a processor in a physical hardware system.

Qualifying Third Party Device means a device that is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by you or your affiliates (e.g., a third party’s public kiosk).

Route Transactions means one or more of the following:

• text or voice driving directions from a single origin to a single destination, but not real time text or voice driving directions,

• the travel time and/or distance for all or any portion of such route, and/or

• a single raster or vector image or series of either depicting a map.

Running Instance means an Instance of software that is loaded into memory and for which one or more instructions have been executed.  (You “Run an Instance” of 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.

SL means subscription license.

Server means a physical hardware system capable of running server software.

Server Farm means a single data center or two data centers each physically located:

• in a time zone that is within four hours of the local time zone of the other (Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and not DST), and/or

• within the European Union (EU) and/or European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

VDI Licensed Device means a device to which you assign a VDI suite license and from which you access and remotely use virtual Client OSEs.

VDI Host means a device on which you host virtual Client OSEs running software you access and remotely use from VDI Licensed Devices.

VDI Software means the Microsoft software for which you are granted use, access or management rights under the VDI Suite license.

Virtual Core means the unit of processing power in a virtual hardware system. A Virtual Core is the virtual representation of one or more hardware threads.

Virtual OSE means an OSE that is configured to run on a virtual hardware system.

Virtual Processor means a processor in a virtual hardware system.  Solely for licensing purposes under the Server: Per Processor licensing model, a virtual processor is considered to have the same number of threads and cores as each physical processor on the underlying physical hardware system.

Web Workloads (also referred to as “Internet Web Solutions”) are publicly accessible and consist solely of web pages, websites, web applications, web services, and/or POP3 mail serving. For clarity, access to content, information, and applications served by the software within an Internet Web Solution is not limited to your or your affiliates’ employees.

You may use the software in Internet Web Solutions to run:

• web server software (for example, Microsoft Internet Information Services), and management or security agents (for example, the System Center Operations Manager agent).

• database engine software (for example, Microsoft SQL Server) solely to support Internet Web Solutions.

• the Domain Name System (DNS) service to provide resolution of Internet names to IP addresses as long as that is not the sole function of that instance of the software.
