      The Product Use Rights (PUR) details use rights for specific products, as well as rights that apply to all software licensed through Microsoft Volume Licensing. The PUR outlines the licensing models used for similar products in Volume Licensing, and the use rights associated with each licensing model.

      In this introductory guide to Product Use Rights, you will learn how you can use the PUR to find licensing information for specific Microsoft products and services. You will also review the basics of licensing and learn why Microsoft uses different licensing models for its many products. Using a scenario in which the IT Director for a fictitious company licenses Microsoft products and services through a series of initiatives, the guide helps describe how the many Microsoft licensing models are applied to various “real-world” business solutions.
