    Could anyone please provide me with link to Macrium Reflect WinPE Rescue ISO file.
    When I tried to create an ISO, the program asked me permission download WinPE files. It could be simple if the Rescue ISO could be downloaded directly from the official site. I have just created a Image of 'C:' and System Reserved partition.
    ( I downloaded Macrium Reflect 5.3through here: http://www.filehorse.com/download-macrium-reflect-64/ )

    It doesn't exist. WinPE contains licensed components of the Windows operating system. Others would have to pay MS to distribute WinPE.

    EDIT - seems it does exist, but not legally imo.

    There is nothing illegal about the WinPE iso. Here is the link again.

    So you say. Here is part of the EULA downloaded with the WAIK -

    4. Scope of License. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways. You may not
    · work around any technical limitations in the software;
    · reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;
    · make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
    · publish the software for others to copy;
    · rent, lease or lend the software;
    · transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
    · use the software for commercial software hosting services.

    You can turn a blind eye towards this if you choose but, looked at objectively, it is pretty clear that offering to anyone who wants it an ISO of WinPE, that can only be created with the WAIK when running on a properly licensed system, is at the very least against the spirit of the licence if not its letter. If it was within the licence why on Earth would Paragon not offer it when they do offer the Linux version?

    You don't have to answer

    What are licensing conditions for Windows PE 3.0 distribution? - Technet Forums

    The Windows PE 3 EULA (License agreement) is included with WAIK and explains clearly the scope where/how Windows PE can be used.
    You can use WinPE for other purposes and distribute your own version, granted the fact that Microsoft expressly allows this action (mentioned in EULA).

    EDIT - Maybe Macrium got permission to use WinPE for thier Rescue disc.

    I notice that when you copied and pasted that vague bit of info you omitted to include this -

    I noticed that MS indeed licensed particular uses of Windows PE 2 when Vista was released but has not been licensing customized Windows PE 3 versions. However, you can get in contact with a MS representative and ask his opinion about this matter, this should be the first step for you to get a legal authorization to distribute WinPE 3.

    Also Macrium, aka Paragon, do NOT issue a WinPE based rescue disk. You should be asking yourself why.
