A. We have learned that many people are confused about what is covered under the Volume Licensing agreement and that there is a misperception that Volume Licensing agreements cover the full Windows desktop operating system. Because Volume Licensing Welcome and Comprehensive Kits have included software bits for the full Windows operating system, customers could inadvertently install the full Windows operating system software bits on an unlicensed PC. As a result, customers become noncompliant under their Volume Licensing agreement.
