If I purchase a Windows XP Pro or Vista Upgrade license from the bookstore under the Microsoft Student Select Agreement, does the same Microsoft Volume Licensing rules apply for these licenses?
Yes and no. Although the Student Select Agreement is part of the university’s Academic Select volume licensing agreement, Windows itself does not utilize a volume licensing key (VLK) like it does under the Academic Select and Campus agreements. Student Select Windows licenses are designed for personal use on personal computers, and each Windows license purchased from the bookstore has its own license key. If using the Student Select Windows license on a personal computer, you still are allowed two instances of Windows per full qualifying operating system. You can not, however, install a Student Select License on university owned computers. If so, you are in violation of the Student Select Agreement and you do not have any rights provided by the Campus and the Academic Select agreements.
