Summary

Enterprises turn to Windows Embedded to power industry devices that delight their customers by providing unique

and differentiated user experiences and help them gain competitive advantage by monitoring, assessing, reporting,

predicting, and uncovering intelligence throughout their businesses.

Windows Embedded 8 offerings are available through Microsoft Volume Licensing. This brief explains the options for

licensing Windows Embedded 8 editions and key enterprise features.

What’s New in This Brief

This brief, published April 2014, replaces the previous version published October 2013. Changes include the following:

 Updates to reflect changes to the Windows Embedded licensing options effective April 1, 2014, including:

 Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise edition is available as an upgrade license through Volume

Licensing; it is no longer a Software Assurance benefit. This aligns to the changes made to Windows desktop

effective March 2014.

 Only Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise edition is eligible for Software Assurance. Therefore,

customers who want Software Assurance can purchase the Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise

Upgrade with Software Assurance.

Note: Customers will continue to be allowed to attach Software Assurance to new devices purchased before July 1, 2014.
