Microsoft product screenshot, used with permission from Microsoft.

This image is a copyrighted screen shot of a commercially released computer software product of Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft Corporation has allowed screen shots of its commercially released computer software products to be used in advertising, documentations, educational materials, videos and web sites as long as they are not obscene or pornographic, are not disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, and are not digitally altered (except for being resized).

However, the use of this screenshot in Wikipedia must comply with Wikipedia Non-free content criteria policy. Images that do not comply may be nominated for deletion.

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example use rationales, see here.
Template:Non-free use rationale software screenshot may be helpful for stating the rationale.
If this is a screenshot of a Classic Mac OS or macOS application, please use |Screenshots of Mac software as the first parameter of this template, so that the image is categorized into the right category.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has a complete rationale, please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Use of Microsoft copyrighted content

Requirements for allowed uses

For permission to be granted by Microsoft for any uses allowed by these guidelines, you must comply with the following four requirements:

If your use includes references to a Microsoft product, you must use the full name of the product. When referencing any Microsoft trademarks, follow the General Microsoft Trademark Guidelines.
You must include the following statement: "Used with permission from Microsoft."
Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and you may not be disparaging, defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, any of its products, or any other person or entity.

Screenshots

If you wish to benefit from Microsoft's automatic permission grant, you may not use screenshots of Microsoft product boot-up screens, opening screens, "splash screens", or screens from beta release products or other products that have not been commercially released. You may use other screenshots in advertising, in documentation (including educational brochures), in tutorial books, in videotapes, or on Web sites, provided that, in addition to the requirements above, you:

Do not alter the screenshot except to resize it.
Do not use portions of screenshots.
Do not include screenshots in your product user interface.
Do not use screenshots that contain third-party content.
Do not use screenshots that contain an image of an identifiable individual.

Usage

Use this template to mark Microsoft screenshots and to alert the those who wish to download and use them of their legal rights and obligations. It replaces {{Non-free software screenshot}}. Note, however, that this template does not replace all instance of {{Non-free software screenshot}} for Microsoft product screenshots. Use of screenshots of boot-up screens, splash screens, opening screens, as well as screenshots of Beta products are not allowed by Microsoft Terms of License. Therefore their use on Wikipedia must be in compliance with fair use and Wikipedia policy, and this template must not be used for such screen shots.

Syntax

Full syntax: {{Non-free Microsoft screenshot [|Category name][|image has rationale = yes]}}

Notation

Character written in bold must be typed as shown
Words written in italic must be replaced with appropriate letters
Parameters enclosed in “[” and “]” are optional

Description of parameters

Parameter	Description
Category name	By default, images with this template will be sorted into Category:Screenshots of Windows software. Optionally, the first unnamed parameter can be a category name, so that a screenshot may be sorted into another category. For example: `{{Non-free Microsoft screenshot\|Screenshots of Mac software}}` will place the image into Category:Screenshots of Mac software. As of this writing (7 January 2010), no other suitable category exists. However, other categories might be created in the future.
image has rationale	If it is set to `yes`, the notice box in the middle of the template, which reminds the uploader to provide a fair-use rationale, is removed.
