Microsoft has a license to provide Huawei software

Microsoft has officially confirmed that the US government has agreed to issue a software delivery license to the Chinese manufacturer. The official spokesman for the company thanked the Commerce Ministry’s decision and the fact that they reviewed and approved their application.

We do not yet know which Microsoft products are covered by the license, but they can certainly be considered positive news for Huawei. Most likely it is the Windows operating system.

We’ll probably find out more details soon about the real impact of the license on Huawei devices. The US government has already received applications for about 300 licenses, most of them related to shipments of hardware and software to a Chinese manufacturer.

According to Reuters data, only 25% of them have ever received a positive response. This comes just days after we learned that Huawei will receive a new 90-day temporary work permit with US companies.

These solutions will enable Huawei to maintain its current infrastructure and distribute software updates for its devices. However, the temporary license does not affect new products. To change the situation, it is necessary for Huawei to be formally removed from the so-called.

Donald Trump’s “Blacklist”. Huawei’s licensing of Microsoft software delivery is another step towards achieving this goal. High-level talks between the United States and China continue.
