Product Notes

 

Rental Rights for Office

The rental rights licenses granted under these programs are add-on licenses only. These licenses are not a full product license. Therefore, each desktop to which a customer assigns a rental rights license must be licensed to run one of the qualifying applications identified below.

Qualifying Application Rules (Each of these conditions must be met in order for the base License to qualify you for the Rental Rights license):
  • The license for the qualifying application must be assigned to the same device to which the VL Rental Rights license is to be assigned.
  • The qualifying application must be installed on that device.
The qualifying applications by Program type are:
Qualifying Applications for purchase of Rental Rights for Office Standard / Professional Plus OEM PIPC (Japan only) Select/Select Plus Open License
Office Standard 2013 X X
Office Standard 2010 X _ X X
Office Professional Plus 2013 _ _ X X
Office Professional Plus 2010 _ _ X X
Office Personal 2013 _ X _ _
Office Home & Business 2013 _ X _ _
Office Professional 2013 _ X _ _


Customers acquiring the rental rights license on top of a license for qualifying application will have their rights under that qualifying application license extended to permit third party use of the same software. The rental license is not a step up license for a higher edition of the product.

Software Assurance Exception

Customers acquiring rental rights licenses are not eligible to obtain Software Assurance for the rental rights licenses nor the underlying qualifying software licenses.


Please remember: The terms and conditions of your volume license agreement, and the product use rights documented in that agreement, govern your use of products licensed from Microsoft. While we have endeavored to facilitate your access to and understanding of the product use rights through this online tool, your use of this site should not serve as a substitute for reading and understanding your volume license agreement. We will work to keep the contents of this site consistent with the governing volume license documentation, but in the case of conflicting content, you should refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

If you acquire licenses under the GSA our GIA programs, please contact your reseller or Microsoft licensing executive for the applicable license agreement/product use rights.

Note, because of the way that the Product Use Rights are designed, some provisions may appear that relate to other products, as noted in these pages.
