Run-time License Options Windows CE 5.0: Run-time License Options Windows CE 5.0


Licensing End of Life (EOL) Policy: Licensing End of Life (EOL) Policy END OF LIFE POLICY: Toolkits: EOL when “mainstream” support ends Run-times: EOL when “extended” support ends IMPORTANT INFORMATION: * Windows CE 2.11, 2.12, and 3.0 are grandfathered out of the support policy; therefore run-times sales for those products will end on the dates listed above in conjunction with their support expiration dates * We are still determining the details of the one-time buyout we will offer direct and channel partners. This will be solidified and communicated by the end of Q1 FY05.
