Volume Licensing CDs (Microsoft product CDs that you purchase through your reseller and the media you receive in your Welcome Kit and update kits) are the only media available for multiple installations under the terms of a Select License agreement or an Enterprise Agreement. Volume Licensing CDs and Microsoft MSDN CDs no longer include a product key (previously printed on the CD packaging) for multiple installations.
To use Volume Licensing or MSDN CDs, you will need to obtain a Volume License Key for the licensing program in which you are enrolled; retail media will not accept Volume License Keys. When you deploy a product by using Volume Licensing or MSDN CDs, you will need a 25-character product key. Use the appropriate Volume License Key instead of using the product key that was previously located on the CD packaging. These special Volume License Keys facilitate multiple installations from a single CD. You will not be able to install a product from a Volume Licensing or MSDN CD without this Volume License Key.
Volume License Keys for Select License and Enterprise Agreement customers are available on the Microsoft Volume License Services (MVLS) Web site.
