Microsoft afinal não oferece licenças Windows 10
No primeiro anúncio, a Microsoft indicava que todos os que participaram no programa Insider (instalando a próxima build), teriam acesso a uma licença gratuita do Windows 10. Desta forma, dava a entender que quem tinha Windows XP, Vista, e até quem não tinha Windows licenciado, poderia obter a licença gratuita.
A Microsoft decidiu então alterar a publicação, indicando que seria necessário o utilizador ser portador de Windows 7 ou 8 genuínos e manter os mesmos activados
Novamente, a Microsoft volta a alterar as regras, acabando com as dúvidas dos utilizadores. Segundo a nova publicação, não será oferecida nenhuma licença do Windows 10 e só poderá usar o mesmo, quem se mantiver no programa Insider.
“I want to continue as a Windows Insider!” If you want to continue as a Windows Insider past 7/29 there is nothing you need to do. You’re already opted in and receiving builds in the Fast or Slow ring depending upon your selection. This is prerelease software and is activated with a prerelease key. Each individual build will expire after a time, but you’ll continue to receive new builds so by the time an older prerelease build expires you’ll have received a new one. Since we’re continuing the Windows Insider Program you’ll be able to continue receiving builds and those builds will continue to be activated under the terms of the Windows Insider Program. We provide ISOs for these builds for recovery from any significant problems, but they are still pre-release software. As part of the program we’ll upgrade Insiders to what is for all intents and purposes the same build as what other customers will get on 7/29, but that will be just another build for Insiders, and those who stay in the program will simply get the next build after as well.
“I want to opt out of the Windows Insider Program on 7/29.” If you decide to opt-out of the program and upgrade to the 7/29 build you will be subject to exactly the same terms and conditions that govern the offer* that was extended to all Genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 customers. This is not a path to attain a license for Windows XP or Windows Vista systems. If your system upgraded from a Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 license it will remain activated, but if not, you will be required to roll back to your previous OS version or acquire a new Windows 10 license. If you do not roll back or acquire a new license the build will eventually expire.
