Windows 10 vm license preview upgrade#
Since inplace-upgrades technically only work from Win7 or newer I'm pretty sure that Win7 is considered to be an eligible license for the upgrade - but the MPN team needs to confirm. Windows 2000 Pro is really eligible for certain EA customers, for CSP it is only the Pro editions of Win7, Win8 and Win10. So if there is no one from MPN team giving guidance here, I would advice to raise a ticket via Partner Center - they might need to escalate this internally since it was removed from website a year ago. However, for the specific questions which licenses exactly qualify this is no help - in Product Terms it is mentioned that this is different depending on licensing channel, and Partner IUR is not documented in there. Unfortunately the MPN site at does no longer include the more detailed documents that were available up to ~2017 which adressed some scenarios better.ĭuring a recent conversation with MPN team I learned, that otherwise it is stated in IUR guidance, license rules follow those of VL licenses - so the Product Terms. Some information on usage is still available in the usage guide - e.g., if moving the installation to another hardware or even reinstalling the SW counts as consumed license: (sometimes it does)
received Windows 7 with MAPS in 2010, those licenses were only valid until MAPs was renewed in e.g. Do those qualify? There is absolutely no information about this anywhere.Īfaik MPN internal use right-licenses ("IUR" - regardless if from Action pack or from competency partners on Silver/Gold) were never full licenses, always upgrade licenses which requires a base OS license, similar to how it is being done with volume licenses.Īlso MPN IUR licenses never granted downgrade rights nor did they include perpetual use rights - Meaning that if you e.g. I still have my 3 Windows 2000 CD's with their unique license codes. and to be honest, the License table doesn's say what can be updated to Windows 10.
Windows 10 vm license preview update#
So how can we continue using previously received Windows 7 or 8 licenses with the current Windows 10 update licenses?. or a Windows 10 COA sticker in which case it did not neet to be covered by any MPN or update deal. Having no license stickers will make ALL Windows 10 computers unlicensed - unless they came with a Windows 7 or 8 COA sticker in which case they are not neeed to be covered by Action Pack. So let's assume that you get into a SAM or some other license audit. And when Windows 10 came out the update was "free" both legally and in the sense that it required no new license key. The other problem is that Action Pack subscribers must update when a new Windows version comes out. Immediately after the update it becomes impossible to prove that it was an update (or reinstall on a previously licensed machine) because MPN is a digial subscription and no license stickers had been distributed.
Confusingly they still provide the license codes but we can only use them to update previous Windows (unspecified) versions. I have recently been pointed out that the MPN programs - the Action Pack in particular no longer receive Windows licenses.
