Microsoft licensing guides – Windows, Office, Server

We gathered our Microsoft licensing guides in one place: choosing Windows and Office editions, activating a key, licence types, EU law and server licensing. Each guide is based on Microsoft documentation and lists its sources.

How to use the guides

Microsoft licences come with many editions and rules, so mistakes are easy to make. The guides answer concrete questions: which edition to choose, how to activate a key, how licence types differ and how to count server licences.

The content is informational. It is neither legal advice nor a commercial offer. We do not list the licence type (OEM, Retail, Volume) per product — if it matters to you, ask us.
