Imaging for Windows install on XP breaches copyright and license

I asked eiStream (the authors) if it was legal to install Imaging for Windows on XP if you were upgrading from Windows 2000.

They said:
“It is in fact a copyright violation to take Imaging for Windows from a prior O/S and ‘drop’ it into XP; this activity is also a violation of both eiStream’s and Microsoft’s licenses to end users.”

You have to buy licenses from:
