How does this licensing policy affect products such as Microsoft Windows XP Professional?
A. Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Home are not affected by this policy as they are licensed per installation and not per processor. Windows XP Professional can support up to two processors regardless of the number of cores on the processor. Microsoft Windows XP Home supports one processor. Q. With the advent of multicore processors, customers may plan to acquire fewer and/or smaller systems. Due to this fact they may have acquired more server software licenses than they think they will need. Will Microsoft issue refunds? A. No. Many factors influence the number of licenses customers need. The licenses are still valuable and customers may make use of them as their software needs change.
