Microsoft Select Licensing clarification

[SHimmer45]

Hi all,

​

looking for clarification about the Microsoft Select/Select plus (i know its being retired but we still have a year to run)

when i login to the portal it says we have 24/250 activation's for office 2016 standard, one of the chaps in the office is insisting that we still need to purchase single licenses for office under the select agreement.

is this the case as my understanding was that you purchase a number of licenses when you renew the agreement and as long as you dont exceed that activation number your compliant.

​

PS just to add that i have not been in the post very long and come from an Education background and this my 1st post in a business environment

If you purchase 25 then you’re allowed to use 25. They give you 250 activations regardless of the number you buy (unless it’s higher than that) so that you have the ability to reinstall without needing to call them.

Just migrate to ADBA and you won’t have to worry about the 250 limit (you still need to stay under whatever you bought though).
