Embedded Server Defined
“Embedded Systems” means
COMPANY’S computing system or
device with an Image that (i) is
designed for and distributed with an
Embedded Application, and (ii) is not
marketed or usable as a general
purpose personal computing device
(such as a personal computer) or a
multi-function server or a
commercially viable substitute for
one of these systems.
Embedded Application Defined
“Embedded Application” means
industry- or task-specific software
programs and/or functionality with
the following attributes:
(a) It provides the primary
functionality of the Embedded
System
(b) It is designed to meet the
functionality requirements of the
specific industry into which the
Embedded System is marketed
(c) It offers significant functionality
in addition to the Licensed Product
Software
Embedded Systems + Embedded Applications = Specialized Servers
Full software products, not stripped down versions, the difference is in
the licensing provisions.
Embedded licensing provisions tailored to embedded system OEM/SI
business models
15 year product lifecycles provide longer availability and consistency of
solutions required for long term OEM/SI customer contracts
OEM/SI are permitted to ship system image recovery media
OEM Activation (OA) available for qualifying partners eliminating the
need for OS activation in manufacturing
Lower cost due to dedicated functionality
Third Party Installer Agreement allows OEM/SI to use integration
services for complete system build
