Is it possible to use the software in this way for free?

Question

Windows

The task is to make courses on working on a PC
as affordable as possible.
(including by reducing the cost of purchasing software)
The course participant concludes a contract
for renting a PC in a computer class,
where the first lesson begins with installing windows
on the course participant's portable media (usb3 or e-sata)
or brings a prepared media with windows (to go)
would such use be legal for the client and the entrepreneur?
taking into account the fact that the course program lasts no more than the term of the trial period of the software.

Answer 1

You can rent a PC with software. Microsoft has things like SPLA. Those. the tenant will pay for the software and only for the period in which he uses it. And, probably, you can somehow stir up a license for educational institutions.

Answer 2

Something similar was used several years ago in the Specialist Center for Comprehensive Resources. A virtual machine was installed on the machine, in it a training image of the system with installed software. Accordingly, the training period is 2-3 weeks maximum and all the software fit into the trial period.

Answer 3

Xs legal or not, in theory yes.
For example, Windows 7 can be installed without entering a key and used indefinitely without activating it.
The difference between activated and not, only in the ability to set wallpaper on your desktop.

Answer 4

Look for info. Perhaps you can use a copy of the OS in a virtual machine without a license. Such a thing is in the server versions. For example, the normal version - 1 virtual OS, Enterprise - 4 virtual machines.

Answer 5

Read the EULA of the products you are using. For example, for Windows 7:
"The software licensing principle is one copy per computer. A computer is a storage-enabled hardware system on which the software can run. Each hardware partition or rack unit is considered a separate computer.
...
When If you have an official license, you may use the version of the software during installation until the end of the permitted activation period If the software is not activated, you may not use it after the end of the activation period
...
You may not:
...
provide the software provision for hire, lease or temporary use;
· use this software to provide network services on a commercial basis."
If I'm not mistaken, immediately after installation, you have only three days to activate
Windows 10:
"License. The software is not sold, but licensed. As part of this agreement, we grant you the right to install and run one copy of the software on a device (licensed device) for one person to use at a time, as long as you comply with all of the terms of this agreement.
...
Device. For the purposes of this agreement, a “device” is a hardware system (physical or virtual) with embedded storage on which the software can run. Each hardware partition or rack module is considered a device.
...
this license does not give you the right to:
...
rent, lease, or lend the software;
... You may only use this software if you have the appropriate
license and the software has been properly activated using a genuine product key or other authorized means."
