1 Enrolling in the Microsoft Partner Program (MSPP) is required before enrolling in the Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner Program (WEPP) because WEPP uses the MSPP authentication system, which is based on Windows Live ID (WLID). There is no charge associated with the application process for either MSPP or WEPP. However, Windows Embedded Partners must continue to meet the program requirements to maintain their active status in the program. To see more information on MSPP, go to To see more information on WEPP, go to WEPP remains a stand-alone program and does not require its members to engage in MSPP beyond enrolling as registered partners. To see details on how to enroll in MSPP, see How to Enroll in MSPP for WEPP 1

2 The enrollment steps must be completed in the order that they are presented. For detailed instructions on how to enroll in the Microsoft Partner Program as a potential member of the Windows Embedded Partner Program, see How to Enroll in MSPP for WEPP. A single person, the primary contact, must complete the initial enrollment steps. Once the primary contact has completed all the steps, including enrolling the company in WEPP, other contacts at the company may associate themselves with the partner. To do so, they must also complete steps 2 and 3. There is an alternative step #3 if the company is already enrolled in MSPP, the primary contact must associate his/herself with the company s MSPP membership There may be an extra task for step #3 if the Doing Business As Name (DBA Name) for the company is not in English, the primary contact must change the name, or if the primary contact is not the administrator for the company, the primary contact must work with the company s administrator to change the DBA Name. Note: a company may have many different memberships in MSPP, e.g. the company s location in Beijing may create a membership and the company s location in Singapore may create a membership. This is not the case with WEPP. In WEPP, the rule is one company=one membership. If you have questions regarding your company, contact the Windows Embedded Partner team at mswepp@microsoft.com. 2
