Hi all,
I just complete reading WLK 1.6 release note. i have order Windows Server 2008 R2 ,and before it works i still have 2 questions on WLK1.6 ,Any help would be appreciated.
> Retired Programs : The following programs are retired for WLK 1.6:Device > Network > Modem
Q1 : Is that means I will never get category “Modem” , If i have a modem and complete the modem driver ,how can i get the .cat file or logo ?
>Retired OS :The following operating systems are retired for WLK 1.6:
Windows XP
Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003
Q2: What does it means ? i can not install the DTM client on WINXP 32/64 bit or i can pass the DTM but i can’t get the .Cat file or Logo ? What is the policy of Microsoft dealing with Win XP Logo in WLK 1.6?

You must now use the unclassified program to get a signature for the modem driver’s .cat file.

It means you can use the unclassified program to get a signature for your driver’s .cat file for XP. Microsoft are stopping issuing Certified for XP logos with WLK 1.5.
Hope this helps,
Tim.
Got it . I will never get the Logos ,but I still can get the .cat file with Unclassified category
Thanks !
And I have another question,
for one OS family just pay once ,so
if i submit Win2000 and WinXP together , submit Win Vista 32 and Vista 64 together ,submit Win7 32an d win7 64bit together .all of it , i should pay $250 *3 = $750 , am i right ? or there is anything exceptions ?

Sadly Windows 2000 and Windows XP are not the same family, so they are charged separately. XP 32bit and XP 64bit are a pair. Do you still have much demand for Win2000?

Yes , some vendor still have that demand .
and i get this message from Billpolicies document
Microsoft Windows 2000 Life Cycle Support Policy
? A device submission for Windows 2000 can be made, but another operating system must be included in the submission (for example, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista).
A single submission including Windows 2000 and Windows XP .and Is that means i should pay $500 or $250 ? from your words thta i should pay $500 . winqual help say that per submission is $250 !!!
Dear Podun,
For Windows 2000 submission, it’s free if you include a submission for Windows XP.
So just 250 $

You only have one driver package, right? You just submit the driver
once, and tell them which operating systems you want. The charge is
based off that. You wouldn’t really submit an XP package, and a Vista
package, and a Win 7 package. You can’t, really, because it’s
impossible to submit an XP package to WHQL by itself.
