    The latest rumors include it as well.  See note 2734 in the Windows95
    conference.  Nothing official there, just continued word that it is
    close.  (This is taking longer than the release of Windows95 - maybe
    it'll be settled just as NT 5.0 is released).

|  | We've gotten memos that indicate that this is more than rumour, that
"Licensing has been handled at a corporate level" and that "we may deploy 
selected Microsoft products" including ...
MS-Windows v. 3.1
MS-Windows v. 3.11 for Workgroups
MS-Windows 95 (and all further releases/upgrades to this product)
MS-Windows NT for Workstation/PC v. 3.51
MS-Windows NT for Workstation/PC v. 4.0 (and all further releases/upgrades)
Client Access for Windows NT Servers (all versions)
MS-Office (Standard) [all versions up to and including Office 97 and all further 
  releases/upgrades]
MS-Office Professional [all versions up to and including Office Pro 97 and all   
  further releases/upgrades]
Note that this does not include FrontPage or NT Server
You need to purchase media (through stream?) or contact a "site coordinator"
to find a network copy.

|  | So does this mean I can use someone else's copy of office97 and be legal?
Or should I get my own media anyway?

        According to Note 859.3 in the BOOKIE::WINWORD conference,
        Digital's license for the Office suite is a maintenance
        agreement, not a corporate license per se.  As a result
        upgrades do not require an upgrade license, but new
        installations do need to have licenses purchased.
        It sure would help to have an authoritative clearinghouse for
        corporate license issues.

|  | What is the part number for the Alpha NT Server 4.0?
Stream could not tell me...
Thanks,

|  |     The same as Intel.
    
    It's always been on the same disk, since the first released version of
    Windows NT.  You'll need the license and the media (seperate part
    numbers).

|  |     And ignore the part number for "Workstation" license.  If it's for
    internal use, we already have a corporate license.  (NOT SERVER, only
    Workstation.)

|  | re: .19
	I think you mean back before 3.1, because since 3.1 on it has been on
	the same CD.  I've been installing from the same CD since then.  Your
	statement 'because it didn't exist yet' isn't very clear as to what 
	the antecedent of 'it' is.

|  |     In order to stop a long string argument on the "3.1 issue": The "first
    pressing" of NT V3.1 was at the end of July, 1993.  This was build 511,
    and did NOT contain the Alpha version.  V3.1 was re-released in
    mid-September 1993, build 528, and did contain the Alpha support.
    
    The 6 weeks (and 17 builds) in between was the time required to do the
    final check-ins of the Alpha support to the source tree, do the final
    testing, and back-fit and some of the non-Alpha-specific bugs found into
    the other architectures.

| 5124.22 | Does NT V4.0 really have a corp. license? | STSDEV::GRAY | Bruce Gray, Test Equipment Design | Thu Apr 03 1997 13:51 | 9 | 
|  |     In Re: .18 by Ron van Zuylen:
    
    Excuse me, but where have you gotten the information that Windows NT
    V4.0 has a corporate license?  I see from ELF that you are part of the
    CCS organization, but your org's own web pages say that only V3.51 has
    a license agreement (look at http://www-ccs.wro.dec.com/NT/Kits/WinNT/).

|  |     Please follow through with your business group management if you have
    any questions.  We have techically had a corporate license for 4.0
    Workstation, in addition to some other new products, since ~January 1.
