Windows 8 Pro Upgrade LicenseVolume Licensing is the most cost effective way for commercial customers to upgrade existing PCs to Windows 8. If PCs are not already covered by Software Assurance, you can purchase upgrade licenses through a Volume Licensing program to gain access to Windows 8 Pro. Windows 8 Pro is designed for small and medium sized businesses and can run on PCs that meet the recommended hardware requirements of Windows 7 Professional, which means that it will run on the majority of business PCs already in use today. The Windows 8 Pro upgrade license allows you to take advantage of the security, productivity, and ease of management on existing PCs with a qualifying operating system license (see below).
Qualifying Operating SystemsWindows licenses available through Volume Licensing are upgrade-only licenses. They do not replace purchasing the initial Windows licenses for software that comes preinstalled on new PCs. Each PC that runs the Windows 8 Pro upgrade must first be licensed to run one of the qualifying operating systems identified below—otherwise the PC will not have a valid, legal Windows license. If you don’t have a preexisting license for a genuine, qualifying operating system on your PC, see the “Get Genuine Options” section in this guide. Each of these conditions must be met in order for a base PC to be eligible for an upgrade license:
