What are software licenses?

Before we begin, it is necessary to understand the concept of software licenses. These are the legal agreements that regulate the use, distribution and modification of software. These licenses establish the terms and conditions under which users can use software developed by someone else. Software, being intangible and copyrighted, requires a license to establish the rights and obligations of all parties involved. The most prominent example of the company that owns this type of licenses is Microsoft. It is one of the largest and best known technology corporations in the world, and offers a wide range of products and services in different areas. Some of the main examples of Microsoft software licenses are:

  • Operating Systems. Microsoft is primarily known for its Windows operating system, which is used on most personal computers and laptops around the world. Windows comes in several versions tailored for different types of devices, such as Windows 10 for PCs and tablets, Windows Server for servers, and Windows IoT for Internet-connected devices.

  • Microsoft Office. Offers the most popular productivity suite called Microsoft Office. This suite includes applications such as Microsoft Word (word processing), Excel (spreadsheets), PowerPoint (presentations), Outlook (e-mail and calendar) and other useful programs for businesses and users.

    Xbox and video games. Microsoft is the creator of the Xbox video game console and offers a variety of games and services related to the Xbox platform. In addition, it also has subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass that allow access to a library of games for a monthly fee.

What are "second-hand" software licenses?

Apart from buying licenses directly from Microsoft, you can opt for a cheaper option: "second hand" licenses. This does not mean that they are used. They are NOT used.

To give you an example: Microsoft sells 1000 licenses to Samsung, but Samsung only uses 800. The remaining 200 are resold and these licenses become "second hand" because they would now have a second owner. But they have never been activated before and are original and new.

When you try to activate a used license, Microsoft issues a message that says something like "this license has already been used, try another one" and it is impossible to activate it again.

What do I have to take into account when purchasing a license?

Whether you are an entrepreneur or a private user, if you are interested in buying a Microsoft Office or Windows license the main aspects to consider are:

  1. License origin. Buying licenses directly from the manufacturer or from trusted sources guarantees that you are purchasing legitimate and authentic products. This avoids problems related to software piracy or the use of unauthorized versions, which could lead to legal sanctions or security problems. By knowing the origin of the licenses, you are assured of receiving updates. This ensures that you are using the latest version of the software with the latest bug fixes and enhancements, which can be critical to maintaining the security and optimal performance of your systems. At Licendi, we are originally marketing by sale in the territory of the European Union, with the consent of the right holder. This means that the products we sell are fully legal and their origin is European.

  2. Legal requirements for resale. You have to make sure that the seller of the keys complies with the legal requirements for resale. Here you can find general information about the used computer product, an overview of the most important legal information, as well as answers to frequently asked questions from our customers.

  3. Auditability. If you are an entrepreneur, you have to pay attention to the documentation you will be provided with when you buy your licenses. This way, you will be able to pass the official audit successfully.  At Licendi, together with the product key, link and installation guide, we send the invoice with your company data.

  4. Activation guarantee. When you buy a "second hand" license you run a certain risk. To minimize this risk, it is important to take into account the purchase conditions offered to you. For example, in our online store with the purchase of your license we offer 1 month activation guarantee.

  5. Customer reviews. Looking at customer reviews when buying something online is crucial due to several significant reasons. For one, customer reviews provide unbiased and objective information about the product or service you are considering purchasing. The comments and experiences shared by other buyers give you a more realistic and balanced view of what to expect from the product, allowing you to make more informed decisions. On the other hand, customer reviews can indicate the quality and reliability of the product. If a product has many positive reviews, it is more likely to be a safe and satisfactory choice. One of the most reliable platforms where you can find out opinions about various companies is Trustpilot. At Licendi we have 174 reviews and an average score of 4.9 out of 5.
