Making Copies

Select License allows for the immediate reproduction and use of Microsoft software products, as long as licenses are ordered for all copies of the deployed products by the end of the month during which they were installed.

Ordering Media, Disks, and Documentation

The media kits contain only the groups and languages specified on the Select License enrollment. The three product pools (applications, systems, and servers) are divided into seven groupings and are color coded to make them easier to organize. The following chart shows the groups and colors.

Agreement Renewal

It's easy to renew an expiring Select License agreement. You have the option to renew your agreement one time for an additional one or three years or by signing a new Select License agreement. By renewing the agreement, you can ensure your continued ability to realize savings on software license purchases over multiple years without interruption.
