Which Versions of Microsoft Software Are Available?

The names of products in the Microsoft program don't include version numbers. When you receive a product, you can choose to download the current version of the software or the previous version. You can find out which version is the current one on the Current Versions of Microsoft Products page. In addition, you can download the software in any language that's available.

Microsoft Software Licensing Information

Volume Licensing

All Microsoft software products you've requested must be downloaded through the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Use our VLSC guides to quickly get access to your donations.

Licensing Details

When you request a volume license product through TechSoup, you're actually requesting a license, not the product itself. Volume licenses are different from licenses for retail products primarily because they can apply to different versions of the software, can include Software Assurance benefits, and have different product use rights.
