FAQ

This is the agreement that defines the software and features to be used, how many users can use it, on what devices it can be used, how long it is valid for and so on. There is a broad range of licensing types to fit various needs and make management easier, including perpetual licensing, subscription-based licensing, consumption licensing, etc.

This is a licensing service that authorises software to be used on a large number of computers with a large number of users within an organisation. It typically includes a volume licence key (VLK), similar to a single-use product key, but the VLK can be used in multiple instances, and is usually limited to a predetermined number of installations based on the organisation's anticipated needs. The organisation is often required to keep the key confidential, record the number of installations and could be subject to a software licence audit and penalties for not complying with the terms of the licensing agreement. Before purchasing, Microsoft suggests considering:

  • Size and type of organisation
  • Products desired
  • How the products will be used

Microsoft can tailor its licensing programs to certain industries, like healthcare, education, government and independent software vendors. To find the licensing solution that’s right for you, contact CloudCoCo today for our expert help!
