The goal of this
program is to work with our partners to launch
high-quality, mobile solutions that enable our customers
to communicate using Windows Live Services.
Joining the
Program – Joining the developer program is
available at no charge. The developer must complete an
application form, sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and
sign a non-negotiable Client Developer Agreement.
Developing
Solutions – This program will provide the
developer with the help they need to develop Windows
Live for mobile
solutions by providing:
- Information – User experience
documentation, naming strings, etc.
- Training – Detailed training
on the Microsoft Mobile Services Protocol
- Support – E-mail support for
developer questions
- Testing Information – Test
cases, certification details, etc.
Certifying
Solutions – Microsoft has minimum quality
standards that must be met before Developers and
Operators may deploy Windows Live for mobile Solutions. Microsoft
provides those standards and test cases in advance, so
Developers know the quality bar that must be met.
Deploying Solutions – Developers may only
deploy their Windows Live for mobile solutions with Mobile Operators
that have a direct contractual relationship with
Microsoft. Additionally, not all markets are currently
being supported with deployments. Here is a list of
markets (subject to change without notice):
- Americas – Brazil, Mexico,
Canada, USA.
- Europe – UK, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Belgium.
- Asia/Pacific – Taiwan, China,
India, South Korea, Japan, Australia.
Monetizing Your
Solutions – The Developer and Microsoft do not
have any financial commitments to each other. Companies
that join the Windows Live Developer Program for mobile are
authorized to develop Windows Live branded solutions and may
distribute Certified Solutions with Mobile Operators
who have a direct contractual relationship with
Microsoft.
Developers must work with the Mobile Operators to
determine the method in which you would like to monetize
your solutions.
