Microsoft Volume Licensing Programmes

Microsoft's website contains a Licensing Section. Microsoft and several resellers have requested that we provide links on this site to the information that Microsoft provides on its volume licensing programmes.

There are a number of volume licensing programmes, including Microsoft Volume License 6.0 and Microsoft Volume License 5.0. The software products eligible for volume licensing depends on the particular programme. Microsoft makes availabe, on its website, the products eligible for each programme. The product lists are available here.

The Microsoft Licensing website contains a document on Product Use Rights (PUR). Microsoft claims that the document, available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/downloads/pur.pdf, "provides the latest use rights for Microsoft products under the Microsoft Volume Licensing programs".

In addition to our article titled "Microsoft Licensing FAQ", Microsoft has an FAQ available for its customers.
