Microsoft Select License

Microsoft Select License is a Volume Licensing program for midsize and large organizations that have 250 or more desktop PCs. The program provides a flexible and cost-effective way to buy the latest Microsoft technology.

Select License is a transactional program for organizations that have mixed software requirements. It is based on a forecast licensing model in which usage is measured against the forecast. This program offers a flexible and cost-effective way to make licensing purchases on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Starting in October 2008, Microsoft will offer a new licensing program: Select Plus. Based on customer research, Select Plus is designed for large organizations with multiple affiliates that want to purchase software licenses and services at any business unit level while still getting the advantages of being a single organization.
