Get genuine options Microsoft Windows upgrades are designed to upgrade previously acquired, qualified licences. The best and most cost-effective way to acquire full Windows licences is through pre-installed licences on a new PC. However, if you discover counterfeit or pirated software or a non-qualified operating system on your computers that may cause you to be out of licence compliance, there are solutions available through Volume Licensing that can help you remedy this situation. To buy the correct Windows licences through Volume Licensing, the Get Genuine Windows Agreement (GGWA) has two options: GGWA for Small and Medium Organisations, and GGWA for Large Organisations. GGWA for Small and Medium Organisations GGWA for Large Organisations Target Customers with five or more PCs Audience needing Windows licensing Customers with a large installed base of PCs needing Windows licensing Order Quantity Minimum five licences (reorders allowed through the agreement term of two years) Minimum five licences Details • Sold through Microsoft Resellers • Non-signed commitment to buy legal going forward • Generally no transferability of licence, except as allowed by agreement • Downgrade rights available • Software Assurance can be purchased within 90 days • Support is available for purchase from a Microsoft Reseller • Sold through Microsoft Large Account Reseller or direct from Microsoft • Pre-signed agreement that includes an audit clause • Commitment that future Windows software acquisitions will contain legal software • Placement of a one-time only order • Non- transferability of GGWA licences • A Master Business and Services Agreement must be in place or one must be set-up • Software Assurance can be purchased within 90 days • Support is available for purchase from either Microsoft or Microsoft Large Account Resellers More information is available at http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/knowthefacts/ LegalizationSolutions.aspx. 34 - Quick Reference Guide
