Embedded Systems + Embedded Applications = Specialized Servers

Embedded Server Defined“Embedded Systems” meansCOMPANY’S computing system ordevice with an Image that (i) isdesigned for and distributed with anEmbedded Application, and (ii) is notmarketed or usable as a generalpurpose personal computing device(such as a personal computer) or amulti-function server or acommercially viable substitute forone of these systems.

Embedded Application Defined“Embedded Application” meansindustry- or task-specific softwareprograms and/or functionality withthe following attributes:

(a) It provides the primaryfunctionality of the EmbeddedSystem

(b) It is designed to meet thefunctionality requirements of thespecific industry into which theEmbedded System is marketed

(c) It offers significant functionality

in addition to the Licensed ProductSoftware



Full software products, not stripped down versions, the difference is in

the licensing provisions.Embedded licensing provisions tailored to embedded system OEM/SIbusiness models

15 year product lifecycles provide longer availability and consistency ofsolutions required for long term OEM/SI customer contracts

OEM/SI are permitted to ship system image recovery mediaOEM Activation (OA) available for qualifying partners eliminating theneed for OS activation in manufacturing

Lower cost due to dedicated functionality

Third Party Installer Agreement allows OEM/SI to use integration

services for complete system build
