COMPONENT DATA STORAGE. The SOFTWARE
may contain components that use the data
storage technology known as Microsoft
SQL Server Desktop Engine (“MSDE”). All
copies and instances of MSDE contained in
or installed by those SOFTWARE components
may be used only by those SOFTWARE
components. Any such copy or instance of
MSDE may not be accessed or used for any
other purpose. For example, applications may
not be created or run on the SOFTWARE if they
access or use the services or functionality of
any copy or instance of MSDE contained in or
installed by those SOFTWARE components. In
addition, any MSDE network library files that
are disabled at the time you first install the
SOFTWARE may not be re-enabled.
INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. The SOFTWARE
may contain components that enable and
facilitate the use of certain Internet-based
services. You acknowledge and agree that
MS, Microsoft Corporation or their affiliates
may automatically check the version of the
SOFTWARE and/or its components that you
are utilizing and may provide upgrades or
supplements to the SOFTWARE that may be
automatically downloaded to the Server. MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their affiliates will
not obtain personally identifiable information
through any of these services.
DIGITAL CERTIFICATES. Use of certificates
based on the X.509 standard is an important
security feature that may be included in the
SOFTWARE. Certain functions of the X.509
implementation (for example, certificate
revocation checking and certificate path
building) connect via the Internet to computer
systems belonging to Microsoft Corporation
and other digital certificate authorities to
check the validity of digital certificates that
you receive from third parties during certain
Internet-based operations (for example,
communications secured with SSL or IPsec,
mail secured with S/MIME, and smartcard
authentication). In accordance with the
X.509 standard, the SOFTWARE automatically
retrieves user certificates and certificate
revocation lists when you attempt to access
certificate protected content. Additionally,
the SOFTWARE’s Auto Root Update feature
will occasionally update the list of trusted
certificate authorities. Auto Root Update is
an optional feature; you can uninstall it if you
do not desire it to function. The other security
operations based on the X.509 standard can
be prevented from operating by blocking the
Server’s Internet access.
SECURITY UPDATES. Content providers
are using the digital rights management
technology (“Microsoft DRM”) contained in
this SOFTWARE to protect the integrity of
their content (“Secure Content”) so that their
intellectual property, including copyright, in
such content is not misappropriated. Owners
of such Secure Content (“Secure Content
Owners”) may, from time to time, request
MS, Microsoft Corporation or their affiliates
to provide security related updates to the
Microsoft DRM components of the SOFTWARE
