Here is a list of some of the license types that Microsoft uses for Office:

• FPP - Full Packaged Product, also known as the "big ugly yellow plastic CD case," or "Retail Box," also available online • HUP - Home Use Program, a variant of FPP with enterprise discounts (if you can get it, definitely the best deal) • OEM - Pre-installed by the manufacturer at the factory, no CD included • POSA (2010) - Point of Sale Activation, includes a product key but no media, purchased from a retail store or online shop • NFR - Not For Resale. The disk is not meant for resale in retail. Typically given away for promotional purposes • ACADEMIC - Sold to specific higher education students (now discontinued)

The only license type that matters to a consumer looking to transfer a license is the “Retail” or “FPP” license. It has two key licensing terms: the number of allowed concurrent installations, and the transferability of the license.
