Seperate Windows 7 Purchases or Volume License...

E-E,

My client has 24 Windows base Workstation running:
14x  Windows XP
  1x  Windows Vista
  8x  Windows 7
  1x  Windows 2003 Server

The users are ‘very’ old school (Meaning that their patience with a steep learning curve is not very much).  Windows XP is out and Windows 8 and 10 are too different, like Goldie Locks, Windows 7 is just right.

We have been debating which to purchase single copies of Windows 7 (Total of 14) or go with a Volume License.

Comments?

If a volume license is the ticket, any suggestions on how to go about buying it?
CDW, Microsoft, SoftwareKing, Tiger…

Confused in Atlanta,

For KMS licenses you need at least 25 machines before it will allow you activate machines using KMS licenses (for servers, the minimum is 5). So I would stick to current licensing arrangement, unless you are expanding the number of workstations.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Not enough information to confirm an answer.
I believe we have all given him some good advise on the request and issue. Rojosho has not responded further to the question and has done this for another question on EE as well (see https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28740359/Need-to-reinstall-MS-Office-2003-Standard-Edition-and-need-an-ISO-image-or-something.html).

Either Rojosho has found information elsewhere and forgotten about this question or has used the information and not awarded points where necessary.
I agree as we have given the asker good information and answers.
I agree on John with this. Even split as we have all provided good information for him and taken time to contribute.
