How does this work?
Discount-Licensing's core business is to identify disused Microsoft 'Volume' software licences ('Select' / 'Open' / 'Enterprise') from worldwide solvent and insolvent organisations (Private and Public sector), which are then sold/transferred to businesses whom are migrating or experiencing a licence shortfall. Our business will provide proof of ownership for every purchase/sale and we also adhere to Microsoft's terms, which requests that each new customer notifies Microsoft as well as agreeing to the transfer of the Licence Agreement and Product Use Rights.
What Microsoft products do we provide?
Browse through our licensing product categories and you will see Microsoft Application or Server products of all versions. This includes all editions of Office as well as Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange and Windows Server products. We also supply more specialised applications such as Project, Visio, Biztalk, CRM etc. As a Microsoft partner and reseller, Discount-Licensing can supply "new" licences (sourced directly through the conventional Microsoft distributors) in cases where the customer's requirement cannot be fulfilled 100% through the pre-owned channels. Whilst Discount-Licensing's core business is to recycle digital/electronic Microsoft 'Volume' software licences, we do work with other software manufacturers products such as SAP.
New Installations and Licence Compliance
Companies may purchase pre-owned licensing either for new software installations or when a company realises that it is not licence compliant (before or after a Software Asset Management audit - SAM). A company has the legal right to purchase either pre-owned and/or new licensing in order to correct its non-licence compliant position ongoing.

few changes were introduced when Microsoft launched Office 2010.
