Select Licenses
Purchasing a license permits you to run one copy of the version
licensed on one computer. Additional licenses can be purchased
for other systems in your department. CD media will be necessary
for the initial installation of the new Select license.
-
Select Media
CD media is purchased separately from the license, and only
one copy is needed for multiple installations. The Select media
may be used only with Select licenses.

Select License Plus Software Assurance
When purchasing a new license, you have the option to purchase
Software Assurance at the same time. This option allows you
