Previously Logo'd Motherboard Program
The Windows Logo Team knows that many partners sell desktop PCs that use a motherboard that previously achieved logo status. To reduce the cost of testing such a system, system builders and OEMs may use the Previously Logo'd Motherboard category in the Windows Logo Kit (WLK) to test such desktop systems. The Previously Logo'd Motherboard category, launched with the release of WLK 1.2, offers a reduced set of tests. To qualify for this program, a partner must show that the motherboard used in the Previously Logo'd Motherboard submission is currently listed in the Hardware Compatibility List.
The key benefit of this program is that a partner will not need to run or import a log for the Audio Fidelity test if that partner's system qualifies for the program. Partners who choose to use this category for a basic or premium logo must meet all of the desktop basic or premium requirements, respectively.
To test a qualifying system, use the Previously Logo'd Motherboard category in the current WLK. When you make your submission, include a readme.doc file that references the name of the motherboard as it appears in the Hardware Compatibility List.
For complete information about this program, see POLICY-0023 on the LogoPoint Web site.
