◊Full compatibility with applications and devices for Windows 10

◊Not updated without user permission; does not receive automatic versioned updates.

◊Protected from unwanted actions by personnel or intruders

◊Price depends on the processor model in the device

◊Microsoft technical support until 2026-2028 (guaranteed 10 years after the release of the new version)

◊Ready distribution – save on employee training and build your own image

◊You can enable a telemetry zero level at which the OS does not send personal data.

Edition

LTSB (from version 2019 – LTSC)

The release of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise with long-term service (10 years of guaranteed support and availability), without the delivery of versioned updates. 10 years, the operating system will receive only security updates, so you will not have difficulties with software compatibility due to the new functionality. In this release, there are no UWP applications such as Edge, Weather, Promotions, etc. The most popular issue among manufacturers of equipment, with a guaranteed support of 10 years.

Currently available distributions are 1507, 1607, 1809.

CBB (from version 2019 – SAC) – Semi-Annual Channel

The release of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise with the “classic” automatic delivery scheme for versioned updates every six months and support for each update for 18-30 months. For hardware manufacturers who need regular updates of OS versions and UWP support. Distributions are available 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809. Support is provided for 18 months for the March releases (xx03) and 30 months for the September releases (xx09).

Features Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

For industry devices

Under the license agreement, the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system IoT Enterprise is available for purchase only to OEMs of industry solutions, such as: POS systems, kiosks, security systems, Digital Signage (digital signs), electronic queues, production automation systems, video servers, thin clients, SCADA and other similar devices.

OEMs can supply Windows Embedded and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise as part of a software and hardware complex, or separately from hardware, as an upgrade to a customer’s device.

Please note that in the Windows 10 IoT product line there are two completely different products: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and Windows 10 IoT Core. Windows 10 IoT Core is a product for devices based on ARM and x86 small form factors with UWP support. Regular (not UWP) applications written for Windows will not work on it. Recently, Microsoft announced the release of this OS in the version by subscription – Windows 10 IoT Core Services, which has additional advantages in device management and security.

Three months of free testing

Download the test version. Specify details in the Sales and Development Department “AXOFT Ukraine””.

Before installation, carefully read the description of the download, installation rules and activation. To extend the test period in some editions of the OS, you will need a trial product key that can be obtained through the managers of AXOFT Ukraine.

Reusable activation key

With a commercial license of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, you will receive a reusable product key. One such key activates thousands of devices, so you do not need to enter a new key for each copy of the OS.

Delayed activation without internet

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise has no time limit during which you need to activate the OS after the first boot. If you have never connected the operating system to the Internet after the first boot, it will work without rebooting and annoying warnings. When you connect to the Internet – automatically activated.

LTSB Long Term Service

The Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB (LTSC) edition with long-term service, which we recommend to all OEMs of industry-specific devices, is designed specifically for work on mission-critical devices. Here are three properties that distinguish it from the classic desktop Windows 10 Enterprise:

◊Guaranteed support for 10 years from the date of issue. This means that the current release of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 will be supported until 2026, and the version 2019 to 2028.

◊No unnecessary reboots and updates. Desktop Windows 10 is updated twice a year, and each update is a risk for any industrial and specialized device. There may be compatibility issues, stopping equipment at the time of the reboot, and in the worst case, device failure. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB (LTSC) regularly receives only service updates: security enhancements, bug fixes, and other critical updates.

◊In the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB edition, there are no UWP applications like Store, Edge, Weather, Promotions, etc.

Windows 10 IoT License Cost 

Three license options are available for purchase: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise: Entry, Value and High End. The cost depends only on the processor model that is installed on your device. If your processor is not in the table, purchase a High End license. Any CPU model from the list can be used with a more expensive license.

The release of Windows Embedded 8 Standard is available in a single edition, and Windows Embedded Standard 7 has three editions with different capabilities.

Windows Embedded Standard 7 P

The maximum equipment. You can work with all standard Windows applications, including those designed for the touch screen and multi-touch gestures. OS protects and encrypts your data.

Windows Embedded Standard 7 E

Suitable for corporate use in the organization. Includes all the features of the P edition, but does not contain standard Windows applications and does not know how to work with the touch screen.

Windows Embedded Standard 7 С

Repeats the capabilities of the editorial E and additionally knows how to organize a home network and streaming music and video. Due to this, it is mainly used in consumer multimedia devices. In addition to functional limitations, the WS7C has licensing restrictions.

Free development tool for Standard 8

The development tool for Windows Embedded Standard 8 is free – you only pay for the finished OS instances. The development tools for Standard 7 and Standard 2009 are paid.

Month of free testing

Download the test version. For a test version, please contact the Sales and Development Department “AXOFT Ukraine”.

Before installation, carefully read the download description, installation and activation rules. Do not use trial versions of the development tool to create a working OS image.

Reusable activation key

With the Windows Embedded Standard license, you will receive a reusable product key. One such key is activated by thousands of devices, so you do not need to enter a new key for each copy of the OS.

Installation and deployment – easier

The releases of Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Standard 2009 do not need to be activated after the installation. You save time and simplify the deployment process.
