Delivery FormatDelivery format is always specified on each

product page:

To retrieve license keys: sign in to the VLSC and choose Product Keys > Product Keys.•Notes:

– All the product keys for current or previous versions of your products appear on this page, although the product names will be slightly different from the names used by TechSoup.

– For products with both KMS and MAK keys, two separate product key lines will appear on the page.

– Remember that not all products have product keys. Some server products and Microsoft Math have setup codes. Usually setup codes are printed on the installation disc or sleeve or they are displayed on the screen after you download the software. Other products have the codes embedded in the media, and you do not have to enter them during installation. License-only products such as server CALs do not need installation and do not have product keys.

– If you try a key and installation does not work, it is likely that you chose the key for a different product, even though the name is similar. Try one of the other keys shown.
