If this check box is selected, you are a member of the ACT Community and can share application compatibility data with other ACT users.
If this check box is cleared, you still receive compatibility data from the Microsoft compatibility database, but not from other ACT users.

- The count of computers running a Windows operating system.
- The operating systems you intend to deploy into your organization.
- The count of computers to which you deployed data-collection packages.
If this check box is cleared, your ACT usage data is not sent to Microsoft.
