How do the volume licenses work?
after all this time I don't really know how that works.
For example. If I have 100 licenses does that mean I can only install it on 100 desktops?

Thanks :)
 
irrespective of license type, retail or VL, 1 license per machine. that said i dont think MS would have a fit if you installed on 105 machines(due to more staff being employed etc), 200 maybe. this is just my personal opinion.

It's not complicated for big enterprises. Volume licenses are ideally provisioned by a local (or cloud) server which hands out keys, and does the auditing. You provision from your allotted pool, adding or deleting seats as needed. When you don't own a server, you're stuck with the hideous licensing portals like O365, and it's ass.
