Microsoft offers two licensing options for MS Office to suit public needs namely Retail and Volume. Finding out if your Office license is of type “company” (“volume”) or bought in shops (retail) is not straightforward as one would expect. So, here is a small script which can reveal License Type in Command Prompt.
The first, called “Retail”, is that for the general public. All copies of Office purchased from a retail outlet in the neat package shelf are of this type, as well as those that were pre-installed on certain new PCs. ISO images also downloaded via MSDN and TechNet subscriptions should be exclusively of this type.
The second way is instead called “Volume”, and is available to those who need to buy more than 5 licenses for its fleet. Only editions of “Standard” and “Professional Plus” can be purchased in this way, and those interested should apply directly to Microsoft for the purchase.
