Darn. I guess that article makes it pretty clear it is a violation of the EULA to use it on public machines. Which is unfortunate since it would mean some free advertising for the product.<div><br></div><div>Guess we will have to look at TechSoup's offerings again.</div>

Issues of course is that there is no central management of the product<br>
which in a small library is probably ok but I see a problem with multi<br>
branch libraries.<br>

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Security Essentials Question<br>
<br>
Are there any libraries using Microsoft Security Essentials on their<br>
staff and public computers?<br>
<br>
If so, how did you get around the licensing limiting its use to your<br>
household or home based small business?<br>
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/eula.aspx#mainNav" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/eula.aspx#mainNav</a><br>
<br>
If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for<br>
each license you acquire.<br>
<br>
1. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.<br>
* Use. You may install and use any number of copies of the<br>
software on your devices in your household for use by<br>
people who reside there or for use in your home-based<br>
small business.<br>
* Separation of Components. The components of the software<br>
are licensed as a single unit. You may not separate the<br>
components and install them on different devices.<br>
* Included Microsoft Programs. The software may contain<br>
other Microsoft programs. The license terms with those<br>
programs apply to your use of them.<br>
<br>
Does microsoft have a different license available for security<br>
essentials for libraries ?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance !<br>
