Microsoft Donation Program Title Groups

About Title Groups

A title group consists of all products that serve essentially the same purpose. For example, all Windows operating system products are in one title group, including Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Enterprise in all languages and in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

An organisation can request products from a maximum of 10 title groups. For example, if an organisation requests Office Professional Plus, Visio, Windows Server, and Windows Server client access licenses, it will have requested 4 of the 10 allotted title groups.

An organisation can request a maximum of 50 licenses per title group within a two-year period for applications that run on an individual computer (for example a desktop or laptop PC) and for client access licenses (CALs), management licenses, and other licenses that provide for connection to or management of a server application.

The maximum number of licenses applies to the combination of all products within the title group. For example, if an organisation requests 10 Office Professional Plus products in English, 10 in Spanish, 10 in French, and 10 Office for Mac, it will have requested 40 products from the Office Suite title group and will have 10 licenses still available to request within that title group.

Since there is an overall maximum of five server products over the two-year period, this 50-license maximum does not apply to servers.
