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.
