Windows 11 – Windows 10 – Windows 8 – Windows 7 – VISTA

Windows 7 E édition Familiale pourrait être proposée aussi en version « une licence pour 3 PCs« . Rumeur ?

Kristian Kenney a découvert dans l’une des clauses des conditions de licence dans une Build de Windows 7 Home Premium (y compris dans la Build Windows 7 E correspondante), une indication sur une licence pour 3 utilisateurs, le Pack family

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. One Copy per Computer. Except as allowed in Section 2 (b) below, you may install one copy of the software on one computer. That computer is the “licensed computer.”

b. Family Pack. If you are a “Qualified Family Pack User”, you may install one copy of the software marked as “Family Pack” on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there. Those computers are the “licensed computers” and are subject to these license terms. If you do not know whether you are a Qualified Family Pack User, visit go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=141399 or contact the Microsoft affiliate serving your country.

c. Licensed Computer. You may use the software on up to two processors on the licensed computer at one time. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, you may not use the software on any other computer.

d. Number of Users. Unless otherwise provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.

e. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at one time.

Cette indication « Family Pack » n’a pas été retrouvé dans les clauses des conditions de licence pour les éditions Professionnal et Ultimate.

Microsoft ne fait aucun commentaire sur cette information pour le moment, mais Ed Bott de ZDNet a réussi à soutirer d’un porte-parole de Microsoft:

“We will continue to work with our partners and expect to have other great offers in the future as we lead up to and beyond general availability. We have nothing to announce at this time.”
