windows 7 Can I download and send a copy of Windows XP Mode to a customer?

[News Bot]

I work for a company which produces software and one of our products is old enough that it will not run on 64 bit Windows so requires Windows XP Mode.

 

 

We would normally ask our customers (who are businesses) to download Windows XP Mode then install our product, but we have a customer who does not have internet access on their office PC and cannot download from there. The office PC is Windows 7 Ultimate

64. They can download from their home PC which is a 32bit version of Windows 7 but this causes problems as if they select to download the 64bit XP Mode the Microsoft authentication check won't run (presumably because it's running the 64bit checker on a 32bit

PC).

 

 

So, my question is, are we legally allowed to download the XP Mode installer (plus Virtual PC installer) using our Windows 7 Pro 64 machine and post it to them on a DVD? Or will this cause complications in itself being a different version of Windows to

the target machine? (Ultimate 64)

 

 

Thanks in advance!
