The licensing process for Windows CE involves two steps: 1. Purchasing the Windows CE toolkit to begin building your device image, and 2. Purchasing a runtime license for each device that you will distribute which contains the image. The main licensing items to be familiar with are: • OEM Customer Licensing Agreement (CLA) • Certificate of Authenticity (COA) stickers to affix to finished devices • Third Party Installer Agreement if you are using a third party to install the OS onto your devices • There is also a click-to-accept EULA agreement associated with the tool kits.
