Key Definitions
Embedded Systems + Embedded Applications = Specialized Servers
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
Key BenefitsFull software products, not stripped down versions, the difference is in the licensing provisions.Embedded licensing provisions tailored to embedded system OEM/SI business models15 year product lifecycles provide longer availability and consistency of solutions required for long term OEM/SI customer contractsOEM/SI are permitted to ship system image recovery mediaOEM Activation (OA) available for qualifying partners eliminating the need for OS activation in manufacturingLower cost due to dedicated functionalityThird Party Installer Agreement allows OEM/SI to use integration services for complete system build
