-- Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) You may license products through an original equipment manufacturer (OEM ). these products, such as Windows operating systems, come installed when you purchase a new computer. OEM software is a version for computer production plants. -- Full packaged product (FPP) cretail physical, shrink-wrapped boxes of licensed product that can be purchased in a local retail store or any local software retailer. FPP is a retail version (boxed software). The flags of these products all carry the words "FPP". For example, the flags of the FPP version of the English wxp pro are wxpfpp_en, wx indicates Windows XP, P is professional (H is home), FPP indicates retail version, and EN indicates English. In addition to purchasing in the store, some msdn users can also get the access.
-- Volume Licensing for organizations (vlo) You may enjoy potentially significant savings by acquiring multiple product licenses. depending on the size and type of your organization. group batch licenses (a large number of procurement authorization contracts) are a preferential method for group purchases. The volumes of these products are marked with the words "vol". Take the first three letters of "volume" to indicate that they are in batch. For example, the vol version of the English wxp pro is wxpvol_en, wx indicates Windows XP, P indicates Professional (Vol does not have the home version), Vol indicates group batch license version, and EN indicates English. The main way to obtain this information is through group purchases, which can be obtained by some msdn users. This version is subdivided into the following five versions based on the number of purchases: "Open license", "select license", "Enterprise Agreement", and "academic education license": open license select license enterprise agreement enterprise subscr resume ption agreement academic volume licensing, in general, select/Corp is a license authorization method, which is used to sell the same software using a number of different levels of preferential policies, the xxx CDs obtained through select/Corp license authorization are vol. There are not many types of CDs, but the same vol CDs are assigned with different license methods; volume Licensing (product) keys, that is, vlk, only refers to a key. It is just a key used to prove the product's legitimacy and installation, because according to the vol plan, the vol product does not need to be activated! In other words, vlk is not a version, but a key required for deployment. The version that requires a key such as vlk should be called vol! However, in practice, there is no need to emphasize the accuracy of such names and titles. In addition, many vol versions of CDs are obtained through the enterprise's choice-based license and enterprise agreement, so many people will ask him to select a version. There is a table on the official website with a saying: "different products require different volume licensing keys (vlks ). refer to the table below to make sure you have the correct vlk for your Microsoft product. ", I think this is a good example. vlk refers to the key rather than the product. Obviously, FPP needs to be activated, and vol does not need to be activated.
