Licensing

For Open Value subscription (OVS), Open Value company-wide, Enterprise Agreements (EA) or Enterprise Agreement Subscription (EAS), there is an “All Languages” option that entitles the company to deploy the Microsoft Office Multi-Language Pack 2007on every desktop in the organization. Under this kind of volume licensing agreement the end customer is not buying Office Multi-Language Pack 2007licenses, but through the Office Multi-Language Pack 2007 has the right to deploy all languages.

If the customer only needs a certain number of desktops to use the Office Multi-Language Pack 2007, they can acquire the number of Office Multi-Language Pack 2007licenses they need under a Open License or a Select License Agreement.

If the customer only needs the proofing tools but not the UI capabilities, they have the option of only installing the proofing tools on the desktop – the Office Multi-Language Pack 2007technology enables that capability. However, UI and proofing tools do come as one product and cannot be acquired separately.

Customers are entitled to new versions of Office products if their Software Assurance coverage was active when the product became available. The table below describes the upgrade paths between Office 2003 Multilanguage products and Office 2007 products.
