[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
You must complete the following paperwork to obtain the Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo:
Important Your signature on this contract does not mean that you can start using the Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo. It means only that you've agreed to the license terms and are awaiting your product's passage of the tests and the signing of the license by Microsoft.
Confidentiality Option. On the VeriTest Testing Agreement, you are given the option to keep your testing and test results confidential from Microsoft. If you choose this option, upon passing you must sign a release allowing VeriTest to send the results to Microsoft. Only after you sign this release can Microsoft grant you license to use the Logo.
The more information you put in the Vendor Questionnaire, the better. This is where exceptions and requests for exemptions must be noted. Filling out the Vendor Questionnaire accurately and completely will ensure that your product is tested in the shortest amount of time possible.
After filling out the Questionnaire, click the Submit button, and you will receive a tracking number from VeriTest.
We recommend that you write this tracking number on your product disk or CD-ROM when you send it in for testing.
