The README states: "running a validly licensed copy of the Client OS
Software".  You could interpret dual-boot to fit into that definition.
 BUT I suspect that an argument could be made that the intent was that
the components must be installed on the running Windows instance and
not on an alternative.  Both arguments seem valid to me.

I don't think that a machine that came with Windows preinstalled on
which I later installed Ubuntu would qualify.
