activation. This is to prevent its unlicensed use. You are not permitted to bypass or
circumvent activation. If the computer is connected to the Internet, the software may
automatically connect to Microsoft for activation. You can also activate the software
manually by Internet or telephone. If you do so, Internet and telephone service charges
may apply. Some changes to your computer components or the software may require
you to reactivate the software. The software will remind you to activate it until you do.

VALIDATION.
a. Validation verifies that the software has been activated and is properly licensed.
It also verifies that no unauthorized changes have been made to the validation,
licensing, or activation functions of the software. Validation may also check for
certain malicious or unauthorized software related to such unauthorized
changes. A validation check confirming that you are properly licensed permits
you to continue to use the software, certain features of the software or to obtain
additional benefits. You are not permitted to circumvent validation. This is to
prevent unlicensed use of the software. For more information, see
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ ?Linkid=104610.
b. The software will from time to time perform a validation check of the software.
The check may be initiated by the software or Microsoft. To enable the
activation function and validation checks, the software may from time to time
require updates or additional downloads of the validation, licensing or activation
functions of the software. The updates or downloads are required for the proper
functioning of the software and may be downloaded and installed without
further notice to you. During or after a validation check, the software may send
information about the software, the computer and the results of the validation
check to Microsoft. This information includes, for example, the version and
product key of the software, any unauthorized changes made to the validation,
licensing or activation functions of the software, any related malicious or
unauthorized software found and the Internet protocol address of the computer.
Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you. By using the
software, you consent to the transmission of this information. For more
information about validation and what is sent during or after a validation check,
see go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=104611.
c. If, after a validation check, the software is found to be counterfeit, improperly
licensed, a non-genuine Windows product, or include unauthorized changes, the
functionality and experience of using the software will be affected, for example:
Microsoft may

repair the software, remove, quarantine or disable any unauthorized
changes that may interfere with the proper use of the software, including
circumvention of the activation or validation functions of the software, or

check and remove malicious or unauthorized software known to be
related to such unauthorized changes, or
