Windows licenses available through Volume Licensing are upgrade-only licenses. They do not replace the base, “qualifying” licenses for operating system software that comes preinstalled on new PCs. Each PC that runs the Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise upgrade must first be licensed to run one of the qualifying operating systems identified below—otherwise the PC will not have a valid, legal Windows license. If you don’t have a preexisting license for a genuine, qualifying operating system on your PC, see the Get Genuine Options
section in this guide. The following condition must be met in order for a base PC to be eligible for an upgrade license: Software under the qualifying operating system license must already be installed on the device to which you will assign the Volume Licensing upgrade. See the chart below for versions that are eligible for upgrade.

Software Assurance and Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) Software Assurance includes a core set of benefits to help improve workforce productivity, streamline software deployment, and reduce costs. It also provides the greatest flexibility for how you use Windows because it includes access to enterprise offerings and use rights that are not available through other licensing programs. Software Assurance is the path to supporting users’ flexible work styles by providing access to Windows in a variety of ways across devices. Software Assurance is available with Windows 10 Enterprise through Volume Licensing but is not offered with the Cloud Solution Provider program. For devices or users that do not qualify for Windows 10 Enterprise offers, you can license Windows VDA for access to the benefits of Software Assurance. With Software Assurance and Windows VDA, you get flexible access to Windows Enterprise, Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), and a number of additional benefits which are described in the following table.

Windows To Go Use Rights Windows To Go is a fully manageable corporate desktop running Windows 10 Enterprise edition on a bootable USB stick.

Licensing Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows VDA on a Per Device Basis You can license Windows on a per device basis in the following ways:
Volume Licensing programs such as Enterprise Agreement, Enterprise Subscription Agreement, Open Value, Open Value Subscription, and Enrollment for Education Solutions.
many of the benefits of Software Assurance by licensing those devices with a Windows VDA subscription. Licensing Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows VDA on a Per User Basis You can license Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows VDA on a per user basis. With per user licensing, you license an individual instead of a device, and that individual receives use rights for any device. This puts your users at the center of your Windows licensing solution, gives you flexible options for how you deploy and access Windows across devices, and simplifies Windows licensing and management.
There are three different options for how you license access to Windows on a per user basis: Windows 10 Enterprise Per User, Windows VDA Per User, and Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on. Volume Licensing Reference Guide for Windows 10 Desktop Operating System

Here is a comparison of the three options: Note: “Primary user’s primary device” means the user is the primary user of a device AND that device is that user’s primary work device.
Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Windows VDA Per User Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on When Added to Windows 10 Enterprise Per Device
When Added to Windows VDA Per Device Licensing Requirements Primary user’s primary device must be licensed for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education No device requirements; may be assigned to any user Primary user’s primary device must already be covered by Windows 10 Enterprise per Device Primary user’s primary device must already be covered by Windows VDA License Model Per user; no device limits Local Install of Windows Enterprise On any Windows 7/8/8.1/10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education device or Windows tablet ≤ 10.1 inches VDI Access and Windows To Go Any device
Here’s how to choose the right option: Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Windows 10 Enterprise Per User is the right option if ALL of the following apply:
8/8.1 Pro or Enterprise; or Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise AND
The device is the user’s primary work device AND
The device is not already covered by Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows VDA. Windows VDA Per User Windows VDA Per User is the right option if either ONE of the following applies:
Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Enterprise; or Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise OR
The user uses a device licensed for Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education; Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Enterprise, or Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise, but that device is the NOT user’s primary work device. Note: Because there is no requirement that the user is the primary user of a primary device licensed for Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education, Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Enterprise, or Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise, Windows VDA Per User is the least restrictive option. If you were to license every user with Windows VDA Per User, every user would have access to Windows Enterprise without the need to track the operating system license(s) on the user’s device(s) (except for devices on which you install the software locally).

Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on is the right option if either one of the following applies:
or
The user is the primary user of a primary device with active Windows VDA coverage. With the Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on, you get all of the benefits of Windows 10 Enterprise Per User or Windows VDA Per User at a price that recognizes your existing investment. When you license the primary user of a primary device that is already covered with Windows 10 Enterprise, the Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on grants the licensed user with all of the benefits of Windows 10 Enterprise Per User. When you license the primary user of a primary device that is already covered with Windows VDA, the Windows 10 Enterprise Per User Add-on grants the licensed user with all of the benefits of Windows VDA Per User.

Perpetual Use Rights for Windows Enterprise The use rights for Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB are perpetual for the licensed device at the point that Windows 10 Enterprise coverage ends (unless the Windows 10 Enterprise upgrade is acquired under a subscription license). If Windows 10 Enterprise expires, the perpetual use rights will be for the LTSB that was current at the time that the Software Assurance coverage expired, as well as any past LTSBs. Windows 10 Enterprise Per User does not have an underlying Windows Enterprise upgrade license with Software Assurance, therefore perpetual use rights are not granted. Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a suite of technologies that helps enterprise customers take advantage of desktop virtualization, better manage Windows devices, and deliver advanced system restore capabilities. It is a benefit of Software Assurance and Windows VDA subscription.

If you license Software Assurance or Windows VDA on a per device basis, then your MDOP subscription is also licensed on a per device basis, and it covers each specific licensed device. If you license Software Assurance or Windows VDA on a per user basis or you have the Windows Per User Add-on, then your MDOP subscription is also licensed on a per user basis, so it covers all of each licensed user’s devices. Learn more about MDOP .

Windows To Go Rights Any supported device covered by either Software Assurance or Windows VDA subscription is licensed to run Windows To Go. The primary user of any device licensed at work with Software Assurance or Windows VDA can run Windows To Go while at home or on the road from a supported non-corporate PC (for example, personally owned or hotel business center PCs) under Roaming Use Rights. A user licensed with Software Assurance Per User or Windows VDA Per User is licensed to run Windows To Go for their exclusive use on any supported device.

Note: There are no downgrade rights to Windows 7 Ultimate. Volume Activation Windows product activation is a set of technologies that enables customers to confirm that their copy of Windows is properly licensed. Product activation is required for all editions of Windows 10. Volume Activation applies to computers that are covered under a Volume Licensing program and allows enterprise customers to automate the activation process, making it transparent to users. It is used strictly as a tool for activation, and it is not used for license invoicing or billing. Volume Licensing Reference Guide for Windows 10 Desktop Operating System

Activation Through Key Management Service and Multiple Activation Key Key Management Service (KMS) allows organizations to activate computers within customer environment through an internally hosted service (KMS), and Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activates computers on a one-time basis by using the hosted activation services provided by Microsoft. You can use either or both key types to activate computers in your environments, but each device that has not activated by a KMS must use a MAK.
During Active Directory-based activation, any Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012 R2 computers connected to the domain will activate automatically and transparently during computer setup. These clients stay activated as long as they remain members of the domain and maintain periodic contact with a domain controller. Learn more about volume activation .
The best and most cost-effective way to acquire full Windows licenses is through preinstalled licenses on a new PC. However, if you discover counterfeit software or have applied a Volume Licensing Windows upgrade license without a qualified base operating system on your computers, there are solutions available through Volume Licensing that can help remedy this noncompliant situation. To purchase the correct Windows 10 Pro licenses through Volume Licensing, the Get Genuine Windows Agreement (GGWA) has two options: GGWA for Small and Medium Organizations and GGWA for Large Organizations. Academic customers can purchase Windows 10 Home licenses via GGWA for Academic Organizations. Learn more about Get Genuine options .
