Software asset management and licenses gives you the right to use the software you need and information about how you can use it. They also can help make your software asset management more effective. Software licenses include benefits such as deployment eligibility, the transfer of software to other users, and the ability to downgrade to earlier versions of the software. Know the status of licensing agreements for your business software and its terms of use. By using our collection of reporting services and tools online, you can easily keep up with your Microsoft software asset management responsibilities. Microsoft Volume Activation 2.0
As part of the Microsoft Genuine Software Initiative, Microsoft Volume Activation 2.0 is a set of technical and policy-related solutions that help Microsoft customers protect and manage their Volume License Keys. Microsoft Volume License Services
Microsoft Volume License Services (MVLS) is an online reporting tool that provides you with a confirmation of your license purchases and gives you an accurate report of the licenses you have purchased, including expired agreements. You can gain access to the MVLS site after we have received your Open Value, Select, or Enterprise Agreement and have processed the details. If you have not received an e-mail notifying you of this access, please submit a request through your large account reseller (LAR) or visit the Microsoft Volume License Services site. Microsoft eOpen
Using Microsoft eOpen, you can create and store personalized views of your Open License purchase history. In addition, you can review your license agreement and Product Use Rights (PUR), update your license contact information online, and gain access to your Volume License Key (VLK) to install your software. Microsoft Software Asset Management
The Microsoft Software Asset Management (SAM) policy can help you effectively manage, control, and protect the software assets in your organization—throughout all stages of their life cycle. In addition to including the software you have licensed from Microsoft, a SAM policy includes your whole software and information technology (IT) asset infrastructure.
