Windows Embedded Standard is available in different versions.

The license you need depends on which features you are going to use in your image.

Note: Windows Embedded Standard 7 Service Pack 1 will introduce new SKU Compliance Feature Packages.
These packages ease the selection of a specific version. For example, when a WES7E SKU Compliance Package has been added only the features which are included in this package will work. All other features such as Windows Media Center will be deactivated.
