Physical, Shrink-Wrapped Boxes of Licensed Product That Can Be Purchased In a Local Retail Store or Local Software Retailer.
FPP is the retail version (box software), the volume of the disc of this product is "fpp", such as the FPP version of English WXP Pro is wxpfpp_en, where WX is Windows XP, P is Professional (H is home), FPP shows that it is a retail version, and EN is an English. Some MSDN users can also get in addition to the purchase of the store.

You May Enjoy Potentially Significant Savings by Acquiring Multiple Product Licenses. Depending on the size and type and type of your Organization. Group Batch License (A Large Purchase Authorization Contract), a preferential way to buy for group purchases. The volume of this product has a "Vol" word. Take "Volume" before 3 letters to indicate the volume, such as the VOL version of English WXP Pro's VOL version is wxpvol_en, where WX is Windows XP , P is Professional (Vol without HOME version), VOL indicates that the group batch license version, EN is an English. The access route is mainly the group purchase, and some MSDN users can also get. This version is divided into five versions of "Open License", "Select License", "Enterprise Agreement", "Academic Education Permit" according to the number of purchases, etc.
Open license Select License Enterprise Agreement Enterprise Subscription Agreement Academic Volume Licensing
It can be seen that what SELECT / CORP that usually said is a license authorization. His appearance is to sell with a number of different levels of preferential policies, and the XXX CD of the SELECT / CORP license authorization method is This kind of Vol is not a lot of species, just the same VOL CD with different license methods;, Volume Licensing (Product) Keys, VLK, it is just a key (key), Just just a legalization of the product, as well as the KEY used, because the VOL product is not required to be activated according to the VOL plan!
Or, VLK does not refer to a version, but refers to the key required for this version in the deployment (deploy), and the version of the key that needs VLK should be called Vol! Just in practice, there is no need to emphasize this called method, styled accuracy, plus a lot of people's VOL version CD is the reason why the company's selection license, corporate agreement, etc., there will be a lot People call him "Select Edition" and so on. The official website has a form, there is a sentence: "Different Products Require Different Volume Licensing Keys (VLKS). Refer to the Table Below to make your microsoft product.", I think this is fine. Note that the VLK refers to KEY instead of the product. Obviously, FPP needs to be activated, and Vol does not need to be activated.
