BSQUARE now offers Windows® Embedded Server licenses for qualified OEMs building dedicated-purpose server solutions. These attractively priced Windows Server licenses can help you:

  • Reduce software licensing costs, because these licenses cost less than those for non-embedded servers
  • Extend your product support lifecycles, because Microsoft typically supports its embedded operating systems over a much longer period than it does its non-embedded operating systems
  • Reduce downtime by creating a single recovery image, complete with the full OS used in the device, plus any embedded applications and third-party drivers

To qualify, you must sign a Microsoft OEM Customer License Agreement (CLA) and comply with the Additional Licensing Provisions (ALP) specific to the Windows Server product you plan to use. BSQUARE’s licensing specialists can help you determine if you qualify for a Windows Embedded Server license.
