6. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.
Microsoft provides Internet-based services with the software.
Microsoft may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services.
The device may contain one or more of the software
features described below. These features connect to Microsoft or service provider computer
systems over the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect.
For more information about these features, visit
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104604.
By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information.
Microsoft does
not use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols, which send to the appropriate
systems computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the type of operating system
and browser, the name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the
device where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based
services available to you. NBGI has elected to turn on the following features on the device.
• Plug and Play and Plug and Play Extensions. You may connect new hardware to your device.
Your device may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that hardware. If so, the
update feature of the software can obtain the correct driver from Microsoft and install it on your
device.
• Web Content Features.
Features in the software can retrieve related content from Microsoft
and provide it to you. Examples of these features are clip art, templates, online training, online
assistance and Appshelp. You may choose to switch them off or not use them.
• Digital Certificates. The software uses x.509 version 3 digital certificates. These digital
certificates confirm the identity of user sending information to each other and allow you to
encrypt the information. The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation lists
over the Internet.
•
Auto Root Update.
The Auto Root Update feature updates the list of trusted certificate
authorities. You can switch off this feature.
• Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content owners use Windows Media digital rights
management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights.
This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRM-protected
content. If the software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke
the software’s ability to use WMDRM to play or copy protected content. Revocation does
not affect other content. When you download licenses for protected content, you agree that
Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses. Content owners may require you to
upgrade WMDRM to access their content. Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask
for your consent prior to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access
content that requires the upgrade. You may switch off WMDRM features that access the Internet.
When these features are off, you can still play content for which you have a valid license.
• Windows Media Player. When you use Windows Media Player, it checks with Microsoft for
• compatible online music services in your region;
• new versions of the player; and
• codecs if your device does not have the correct ones for playing content.
You can switch off this feature. For more information, go to:
