Action pack licenses

"With the availability of Windows 8 Professional, Windows 7 Professional is now in grace period. The grace period for Windows 7 Professional will end on August 31, 2013. This 12 month grace period is intended to provide your organization time to upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7. During this grace period, the total combined number of Windows 7 and Windows 8 licenses in production may not exceed your total Windows 8 license entitlement granted through the program. If your organization requires Windows 7 licenses after August 2013, the licenses will need to be acquired through the appropriate channel."

Of interest - the SQL included in the Action Pack is

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence

 

And two licenses of Windows Server 2012 Standard.

And when I need an occasional WIN7, VISTA or XP VM fired up to support a client, I have to have a license I can no longer buy? As usual with MS of late, this doesn't make sense!!!
