Windows to Go MICROSOFT LICENSING QUICK REFERENCE FOR WINDOWS TO GO Windows To Go allows you to run a PC on a StickTM, creating a fully bootable secure USB with your corporate Windows image. KEY POINTS • Windows To Go is a feature of Software Assurance — this requires you to have a Volume License Agreement (VLA) with Most Microsoft customers have a Volume Software Assurance (SA) License Agreement and are able to create Windows To Go. EA, SA and VDA (Virtual • Good news: Most companies have a VLA and SA — Desktop Access) all have this benefit. If your and it is easy to check! company does not have a VLA, Microsoft has options that requrie as few as five seats. • Enterprise Agreements (EA) all include SA — there are many flavors but all EAs have SAs (see SA Rights/WTG Ready table on page 3) Is Your Company Licensed for Windows To Go? 1. Does your company have a Volume License Agreement today? If YES, then do you have Software Assurance? If YES – you are good to go! Remember all Enterprise Agreements (EA) have Software Assurance so if you have an EA you are ready to use IronKey Windows To Go. 2. If you are not sure about your Microsoft licenses... If you aren’t sure, then it is easy to figure out. Many individual customers do not know how software licenses are purchased or what is owned. Internally you can ask your software purchasing person, or you can call your local Reseller and request a copy of your MLA (Microsoft Licensing Agreement). A MLA will list what your company has licensed. In speaking with a Microsoft Licensing Specialist, 9 times out of 10 companies will have some form of Microsoft License Agreement in place! You may have access to the right license already. 3. If your company does not have a Volume License Agreement... Microsoft makes it easy to acquire a license... though the amount of options can be confusing. The first question Microsoft Licensing will ask about is if there is a ‘qualifying OS’ in use: • A qualifying OS is a Windows 10/8/7 Professional or Ultimate. • If you have one of these OS’es then there are a variety of programs that grant rights to future OS licenses (like to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 or 10), offer an Upgrade License and/or to attach Software Assurance. Most companies with more than a handful of end users who like to stay current on their operating system for security reasons or update patching access will opt for purchasing a volume license with Software Assurance. Most companies who purchase their PCs from Dell, HP or other sources probably received a pre-installed Pro or Ultimate License. These customers are eligible for programs such as Open Business or Open Value and other licensing programs. Customers who purchased consumer PCs at retail may have an OS that needs to be upgraded first. 4. If your organization does not want to commit to Volume Licensing, there are other potential licensing options available for their organization... Open Business • This program allows you to purchase as few as 5 licenses and to attach Software Assurance. You get OS upgrade license rights, which allows you to move Windows XP to Windows 8/8.1 or Does anything change Windows 8/8.1 to 10, and all the value of Software Assurance with Windows 10? for two years for under $300 (less than $150/year MSRP) – the For IronKey Windows To Go, good part is renewal of Open Business is $109 MSRP – very cheap the answer is no! going forward! Open Value All information today shows • Similar to Open Business but with a 3-year time frame, inclusion that Windows To Go remains of SA, and a single-step away from Enterprise Agreements. a key benefit of Software This is like a mini Enterprise Agreement. Assurance and VDI licenses. Enterprise Agreements • For organizations with >250 seats • Or Offce + Windows hybrid EAs like Enterprise Cloud Suite • All EAs may have a SA component SA Rights / WTG Ready? Microsoft Product Can use WTG? Notes or Program Name Windows 10 Enterprise The OSes on the left are only included Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise PROBABLY in Volume Licensing. Most VL programs Windows 7 Enterprise include SA but you need to ask a few Windows Vista Enterprise more questions. Windows 10 Pro Customers may have received this OS via Windows 8 Pro any EA or Select or Open with SA. This OS Windows 7 Professional is a clue that they may have a VL with SA Windows 7 Ultimate POSSIBLE already. Windows Vista Business Windows Vista Ultimate Need to ask more questions. Windows XP Professional Windows XP Tablet Edition Windows XP Pro N Windows 10 Home Will need to purchase an Enterprise Windows 8/Windows 8.1* Upgrade as part of a Volume License plan that includes SA.1 Windows 7 Home Premium NO Windows 7 Home Basic How do we know this? The OSes on the Windows 8 Starter Edition left are retail OSes, not something you would load if you have a VL agreement. VL: Enterprise Agreement VL: Enterprise Desktop Platform YES Enterprise Agreements all include SA2 VL: Enterprise Cloud Suite VL: Open License POSSIBLE SA is an option to add to Open License3 Includes SA4 You may utilize Windows To Go rights on any device with active Software VL: Open Value YES Assurance coverage for Windows desktop VL: Open Value Subscription operating systems. Users licensed for Windows Software Assurance per User or Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) may utilize Windows To Go on any supported device. VL: Open Business POSSIBLE Needs to add SA VL: Microsoft Products and Service POSSIBLE Needs to add SA5 Agreement (MPSA) VDA does allow for Windows To Go, but it is complicated by the potential need VL: VDA YES for a Per User rights (versus Per Device).

  • No More Excuses: Windows 7 Makes It Easy to Manage Computer Power
    • Products that earn the ENERGY STAR® prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. www.energy star.gov NO MORE EXCUSES: WINDOWS 7 MAKES IT EASY TO MANAGE COMPUTER POWER CONSUMPTION ORGANIZATION-WIDE Here’s how you can take advantage of Windows 7’s new power management features The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh is no stranger to the idea of sustainability. In 2003 it became the first university in the state to join the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership. Its green initiatives also earned the university high marks from the Sierra Club, which ranked the university nationally in its Cool Schools survey. Given this commitment to green, it’s no surprise that the university first deployed computer power management back in 2005, and that it was one of the first Energy Star power management success stories. At that time, the University’s computers ran the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems, neither of which included native tools for the central administration of power management features. To implement power management settings on these machines, the University used third-party software from ENERGY STAR called EZ GPO. For detailed information and resources concerning Now that Windows 7 has CPM client management features built in, it’s much the power management of easier to administer power management. This case study will show you how the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh took full advantage of computer power PCs running Windows XP, management features on Windows Vista and Windows 7 clients managed by please see the ENERGY STAR Windows Server 2008.

  • Windows 10: Considered Harmful
    Windows 10: Considered Harmful 26 August, 2016 Last Updated: 25 September 2016 Previously I made a series of articles against Windows 10, consisting of basic explanation, open letters, and even a long-winded chance.org petition. However, I have come to realize that these various things could be better as one page rather than fragments across my website. On this page I hope to explain why the Windows 10 system is evil and also include why Windows as a whole is Considered Harmful . Sources to unreferenced items in this article can be found in the various resource links on the bottom of the page. Information can also be found in the photographs shown and with a simple web search. The primary reason against the Windows 10 system is an obvious one. The system is designed to be a system that data-mines the user. This is proven time and time again. Using a tool such as wireshark, one can clearly see that it makes encrypted connections to a variety of Microsoft servers. This uses a very weak RSA encryption that can be broken in under a minute. When a user successfully decrypted the encrypted data, he simply converted the decrypted ``.bin'' extension to ``.png'' and opened them. The image files were screen- shots of him installing the RSA decryptor tool. This was in a VM and was a fresh install. In addition to this, another user in Australia also monitored the odd connection but did not decrypt it. He noticed this when he opened a photograph in the Windows Photo App.
