Software keys, explained

A software key activates the full version of a program. Windows and Office keys are one-time purchases: you pay once and keep the version you bought. Antivirus and some utilities are sold for 1, 2 or 3 years, as the product name says.

Each product page states the key type (Retail, OEM, online activation or Bind), the number of devices and how to activate it.
