___________________________________________________
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based
on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply
to the software named above, which includes the media on which you received
it, if any. The terms also apply to any Microsoft
• updates,
• supplements,
• Internet-based services, and 
• support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms
apply.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO
NOT USE THE SOFTWARE.
If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.

1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. 
• You may use any number of copies of the software to design, develop and
test your programs that run on a Microsoft Windows operating system.
• This agreement gives you rights to the software only. Any rights to a Microsoft
Windows operating system (such as testing pre-release versions of Windows in
a live operating environment) are provided separately by the license terms for
Windows.

2. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.
i. Distributable Code. You may modify, copy, and distribute the software, in
source or compiled form, to run on a Microsoft Windows operating system.

ii. Distribution Requirements. If you distribute the software, you must
• require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that protect
it at least as much as this agreement;
• if you modify the software and distribute such modified files, include prominent
notices in such modified files so that recipients know that they are not receiving
the original software;
• display your valid copyright notice on your programs; and
• indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Microsoft from any claims, including
attorneys’ fees, related to the distribution or use of your programs or to
your modifications to the software.

iii. Distribution Restrictions. You may not
• alter any copyright, trademark or patent notice in the software; 
• use Microsoft’s trademarks in your programs’ names or in a way that
suggests your programs come from or are endorsed by Microsoft;
• include the software in malicious, deceptive or unlawful programs; or
• modify or distribute the source code of the software so that any part of
it becomes subject to an Excluded License. An Excluded License is one that requires,
as a condition of use, modification or distribution, that
• the code be disclosed or distributed in source code form; or 
• others have the right to modify it.

3. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only
gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights.
Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may
use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement.

4. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. The software is subject to United States export laws
and regulations. You must comply with all domestic and international export
laws and regulations that apply to the software. These laws include restrictions
on destinations, end users and end use. For additional information, see .

5. SUPPORT SERVICES. Because this software is “as is,” we may not provide
support services for it.

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This agreement, and the terms for supplements, updates,
Internet-based services and support services that you use, are the entire agreement
for the software and support services.

7. APPLICABLE LAW.
a. United States. If you acquired the software in the United States, Washington
state law governs the interpretation of this agreement and applies to claims
for breach of it, regardless of conflict of laws principles. The laws of the
state where you live govern all other claims, including claims under state consumer
protection laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort.
b. Outside the United States. If you acquired the software in any other country,
the laws of that country apply.

8. LEGAL EFFECT. This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have
other rights under the laws of your country. You may also have rights with respect
to the party from whom you acquired the software. This agreement does not change
your rights under the laws of your country if the laws of your country do not
permit it to do so.

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS-IS.” YOU BEAR THE
RISK OF USING IT. MICROSOFT GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS.
YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL CONSUMER RIGHTS UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS WHICH THIS AGREEMENT
CANNOT CHANGE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES. YOU CAN RECOVER FROM
MICROSOFT AND ITS SUPPLIERS ONLY DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO U.S. $5.00. YOU CANNOT
RECOVER ANY OTHER DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, INDIRECT
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

This limitation applies to
• anything related to the software, services, content (including code) on
third party Internet sites, or third party programs; and
• claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition,
strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable
law.

It also applies even if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility
of the damages. The above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you because
your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential
or other damages.

EXONÉRATION DE GARANTIE. Le logiciel visé par une licence est offert « tel
quel ». Toute utilisation de ce logiciel est à votre seule risque et péril.

de droits additionnels en vertu du droit local sur la protection des consommateurs,

les garanties implicites de qualité marchande, d’adéquation à un usage
particulier et d’absence de contrefaçon sont exclues.
LIMITATION DES DOMMAGES-INTÉRÊTS ET EXCLUSION DE RESPONSABILITÉ POUR LES
DOMMAGES. Vous pouvez obtenir de Microsoft et de ses fournisseurs une indemnisation
en cas de dommages directs uniquement à hauteur de 5,00 $ US. Vous ne pouvez
prétendre à aucune indemnisation pour les autres dommages, y compris les dommages
spéciaux, indirects ou accessoires et pertes de bénéfices.

la limite autorisée par la loi en vigueur.
Elle s’applique également, même si Microsoft connaissait ou devrait connaître
l’éventualité d’un tel dommage. Si votre pays n’autorise pas l’exclusion
ou la limitation de responsabilité pour les dommages indirects, accessoires
ou de quelque nature que ce soit, il se peut que la limitation ou l’exclusion
ci-dessus ne s’appliquera pas à votre égard.
EFFET JURIDIQUE. Le présent contrat décrit certains droits juridiques. Vous
pourriez avoir d’autres droits prévus par les lois de votre pays. Le présent
