Which one is best for your organization?

• There are several licensing options available
  from Microsoft.

  store.

  with less than five PCs.

Full Packaged Product (FPP) or Retail Product

• The license for FPP is transferable with the
  software only if all original components (media,
  COA, manuals, etc.) are transferred along with

  instances, the license agreement only allows for
  a one-time transfer.
