If you plan to use the software beyond MSDN or beyond evaluation periods, all you have to do is buy licenses for the products without the need to re-install.Īctivation is not license.in a way, they have no direct connection.in a way activation is to confirm with MS that your installation is from a legal copy of installer. This does not mean you may have licenses for perceptual usage. For MSVL customers, they can download literally ALL products with product keys (if required).maybe for MSDN only selected products and respective products keys can be downloaded. So when MSVL (MS Volume Licensing) came along, if you had interest in certain software (MSDN or MSVL or Open), MS will provide you with rights to download the software and the product keys. What MS select did was to send customers folders of CDs & DVDs literally for all the software MS had.black CD folders with shrink wrapped CDs & DVDs. If you want some historical insight.MSVL was brought forward by the MS select program from the old days (or other Enterprise licensing programs). Ps: The "Products utilisation rights" available in the VLSC point to the generic licensing documents : Opens a new window => Opens a new window Ps: I searched the forums but could not come with a definitive answer. Is my interpretation correct ? or the Visual Studio VL Key are just extra licences and other employees can use them ? a license seat is supposed to have been acquired for each developper (hence one MSDN per person) it enables us to easily activate test VMs, build machines, etc, without having a specific developper attached to the machine it is just a tool for imaging, easy activating of computers, In no way tied to license invoicing or billing. Licensing program and is used strictly as a tool for activation it is Volume Activation applies to systems that are covered under a Volume I am not sure of what is the purpose of these VL licence keys ? The licencing information states : " Keys are assigned to and intended for the sole use of your organization I see in the Microsoft VLSC that the company has Volume License Keys for both Visual Studio Pro and Visual Studio Enterprise.
Today I am in charge of renewing the contracts. Our company currently uses a mix of MSDN Enterprise and MSDN Pro, one MSDN license per developper.
