  • ready-made OS images with free testing up to 6 months;
  • license stickers and multiple activation keys;

Who is the IoT/Embedded-dustributor
Windows Embedded and Windows 10 IoT are sold through a special Microsoft distribution channel and are not available from "classic" Microsoft distributors
Quarta IoT LLC — official Microsoft IoT distributor with over 20 years of experience with Microsoft technologies.
What is an IoT/Embedded – device
According to Microsoft policy, the Windows Embedded and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC line of operating systems can be used only on computer devices with a specific purpose. Unfortunately, we will not be able to supply these operating systems for universal office and home PCs. If you are in doubt whether an IoT/Embedded license is right for you, describe the device and usage scenario, and we will help you.
What is CLA Agreement
The same way as in OEM supply channel, you need to sign an agreement with Microsoft - the Customer License Agreement (CLA). The agreement is signed electronic and is valid for five years. The agreement describes all general rights of manufacturer to Microsoft Windows Embedded and Windows IoT software. When fill the contact details in the questionnaire received from our employee, you will receive a link to an electronic document that you will check and sign by clicking the "Sign" button. It should be done once, at the beginning of work, after 5 years it will be possible to update the CLA by clicking on the appropriate link.
Activation keys
There are 2 types of key, which is selected depending on the needs of manufacturer. The dongle type is indicated in the product name, for example "Win 10 IoT Ent 2019 LTSC MultiLang ESD OEI High End EPKEA". Pay attention to this when ordering!
1. EPKEA: Multiple Activation Master Key. Obtained for an OS image by submitting a request form to Microsoft, after signing the CLA. Convenient for most manufacturers, since it does not require a key to be entered into each image, it is enough to add it once to the master image before pouring it onto the equipment.
2. PKEA: Separate key for each OS image. For special cases, for example, when the image is delivered separately from the device (Field Upgrade), not to transfer the multiple activation key to the customer.

Licensing
Due to the peculiarities in licensing for corporate clients (Enterprise customer) specified in the Customer License Agreement (CLA) (for information only) and Program Execution Guide (PEG), you can supply equipment and Windows IoT/Embedded to the customer in the 3 options:
  1. With a pre-installed application and Windows IoT/Embedded (for all variants);
  2. No pre-installed application, only with Windows IoT/Embedded (only for delivery to a corporate client);
  3. No pre-installed application and no pre-installed* Windows IoT/Embedded (for enterprise delivery only).

*When a device is delivered to an end customer without Windows IoT/Embedded pre-installed, COA labels anyway must be delivered with the device by placing it on the device or, if it is not possible or practicable, on accompanying media or documentation. Also, you need to provide an image of the operating system
