Microsoft Genuine Software
Build long-term profitable relationships with your customers by recommending, deploying and servicing genuine software from Microsoft.

Each PC running Windows desktop software needs to have its own full Windows desktop license.   There are only two ways to acquire the initial full Windows license on a new PC:

1. Preinstalled on a PC via a PC manufacturer—the most cost-effective way to acquire a Windows license. 2. Through retail stores as full packaged product.

Microsoft Volume Licensing agreements cover the Windows desktop UPGRADE ONLY.

Did you know...
  • Customers who use their VL agreement to install Windows on a PC without an underlying OS is considered mislicensing.
  • PCs must first have a full, qualifying* Windows operating system installed before a Microsoft Volume License can be used to upgrade to Windows 7.
  • The most cost-effective way of obtaining a full underlying license for Windows is preinstalled from the PC manufacturer.
