| 1190190 | 2011-03-29 22:53:00 | Last time I priced this up, Full retail was the cheaper option (than licensing) Plus , with retail , you can move it from one (dead/retired) PC to another. Just to complicate things, the versions are different. ie Publisher not included in Retail Std (Pro has everything of course) Also look at how old some of the PC's are. Will they run Office 2010 efficiently ?? You will need to do some staff training after installing office 2010, although this staff training allmost never happens in the real world. :cool: With volume/open licensing You also agree to be subject to Audits of your PC's by MS to ensure you have the correct number of licenses Added bonus with Software Assurance -gives you 24/7 help desk support for pre-designated users -rights to product updates over the agreed timeframe, -Access to the Home Use Program, where staff can Purchase Office for their home PC's at a highly discounted rate |

Ahh, was waiting for someone to say that, volume licence is for a product version not product type....software assurance is required for the upgrades and for the OP to get all his versions the same! |
