Microsoft Volume Licensing is a term used by
Microsoft
to describe a program for organizations that need multiple Microsoft product
licenses, but do not need multiple copies of the software media and the
documentation that comes with the software. Microsoft Volume Licensing typically
offers organizations lower pricing, two or three-year license agreements and
often product use rights not included with
FPP (Full Packaged Product) licenses,
such as rights to
copy the software onto multiple devices.
See license and
software licensing.
