What Are the Differences Between the Types of Licenses?
Open New License Requirements:
| • | Purchase through a volume license reseller. |
| • | Minimum initial order of five licenses. (One Windows Small Business Server 2003 license meets this qualification because five CALs are included.) |
Retail/FPP License Requirements:
| • | Purchase through a brick and mortar or online retailer. |
| • | No minimum purchase is required. |
Benefits of an Open New License:
| • | Savings over an FPP license. |
| • | You can track your licenses using the eOpen Web site vs. having to manage them as paper licenses. |
Benefits of Software Assurance Include:
| • | The Microsoft Software Assurance program gives you automatic access to additional support, tools, updates, and training to help you deploy and use software efficiently. With Software Assurance, you can acquire the latest software automatically, spread payments annually, and benefit from resources such as training, TechNet Plus access, and more.
