Microsoft product screen shot licensing

Microsoft product screen shots are protected by copyright and are used with permission from Microsoft. Microsoft Corporation has allowed screen shots of its commercially-released computer software products to be used in advertising, documentations, educational materials, videos and web sites as long as they are not obscene or pornographic, are not disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, and are not digitally-altered (except for being resized).

Requirements for Allowed Uses

For permission to be granted by Microsoft for any uses allowed by these guidelines, you must comply with the following requirements:

  1. If your use includes references to a Microsoft product, you must use the full name of the product. When referencing any Microsoft trademarks, follow the General Microsoft Trademark Guidelines.
  2. You must include the following statement: "Used with permission from Microsoft."
  3. Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and you may not be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, any of its products, or any other person or entity.

Screenshots

If you wish to benefit from Microsoft's automatic permission grant, you may not use screen shots of Microsoft product boot-up screens, opening screens, "splash screens" or screens from beta release products or other products that have not been commercially released. You may use other screen shots in advertising, in documentation (including educational brochures), in tutorial books, in videotapes, or on Web sites, provided that, in addition to the requirements above, you:

  1. Do not alter the screen shot except to resize it.
  2. Do not use portions of screen shots.
  3. Do not include screen shots in your product user interface.
  4. Do not use screen shots that contain third-party content.
  5. Do not use screen shots that contain an image of an identifiable individual.

Microsoft product screen shots, including boot-up screens, opening screens, "splash screens" may have been used here without permission from Microsoft where fair-use allows it, for commentary, criticism, research and education, specifically for identifying the product, visual illustration, or to discuss the startup process in educational context. These images should be of sufficient resolution for illustration, but considerably lower resolution than the original. If you are a representative of Microsoft Corporation and have a complaint regarding Microsoft's intellectual property, please contact the administrator.
