Microsoft reveals Vista volume licensing plans
ENT News | at | by Mike
With the corporate delivery of Windows Vista imminent, Microsoft is also rolling out a new volume licensing scheme for business customers.
Meanwhile, the company yesterday backed away from consumer licensing terms that would have only let a purchaser move Vista from one PC to another a single time, after a marketplacewide outcry that the restrictions were too harsh.
Under Microsoft's new volume licensing program, dubbed Volume Activation 2.0, for Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn," each Vista license acquired under a volume license agreement needs to be activated -- a switch from previous programs.
