Volume licensing

You are likely to benefit from purchasing a volume licensing agreement when buying Microsoft Office 2010 for a corporation.

The larger organizations can purchase under Select or Enterprise agreements, which typically require a much larger investment of about 250 licenses. Microsoft Office 2010 volume licenses also include access to Microsoft Office Web Apps, which is an online set of office tools such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

Product Key Card (PKC)

PKC stands for Product Key Card. A new computer has a preloaded single image of Microsoft Office 2010. Customers can buy a PKC for any of the three consumers or small-business Microsoft Office 2010 Suite he/she wants and unlock and activate the respective suite out of the preloaded single image. PKC does not include installation media and is licensed only for one suite in that specific PC it was sold for. These are designed for purchase with a PC preloaded with Microsoft Office 2010. It is also available through retail.

Open licensing is for small to mid-sized organizations that have less than 250 desktop PCs and who order as few as five licenses. The benefits of a open license include, discounts off the retail price of software, the ability to track and manage licenses by using online tools and the rights to create a standard image and deploy it on multiple machines, and rights to transfer licenses from one machine to another.
