What’s “VOL” and “VLK”?

VOL (short for Volume Licensing for Organizations, AKA: VL), any Windows OS setup CD/DVD or image file with “VOL” word, that indicates it is one of the licensed Windows copies. And the most important point thing is – according to the regulations of VOL plans, VOL licensed products don’t need to activate at all.

VLK (short for Volume Licensing Key) does refer to the product key required in the VOL edition’s deployment rather than the edition name. And it’s only suitable for VOL edition with the only effect – prove the product is legal, licensed under VOL.

According to the license agreement, the product keys for retail edition of XP can only be used on one PC, but the ones for VOL edition can be supplied for more PCs to use. Second, there is another important difference, the retail edition of XP needs to activate, yet VOLs don’t have this concept totally. Last, VOL edition of XP doesn’t have the Home Edition, and its function is exactly the same with the Professional Edition.
