How to read the list
Volume licensing has its own vocabulary. This is all of it that matters for a purchase.
A three-year agreement for organisations of five or more users. Each “License/Software Assurance Pack” line is one licence with three years of SA, priced per year: you pay that amount on signing and on each anniversary, three times, and the licence is yours after the third. SA brings new versions, spread payment and, for servers, licence mobility and failover rights.
“Software Assurance” lines are the annual price to keep SA on a licence you already own, on a new agreement signed before the old one ends. “SA Step Up” moves a licence with active SA to a higher edition — Standard to Datacenter, Professional to Enterprise — for the difference.
The same agreement, but the licences are subscriptions: lower annual price, nothing owned at the end, the right to reduce the count each anniversary. Suits organisations whose headcount moves, or who want the whole desktop on a subscription without Microsoft 365. For most cloud workloads, CSP is simpler; the comparison →.
Academic prices for accredited institutions, licensed per faculty or student. Microsoft checks eligibility; we handle the paperwork.
Purchase unit “1 Year(s)”, “2 Year(s)”, “3 Year(s)” is the coverage the line buys; “Acquired year 1/2/3” is which year of the agreement it is bought in. A new agreement uses year-1 lines. Part numbers are Microsoft’s and appear on the agreement and the invoice.

Questions
Open Value buys licences with Software Assurance in three annual payments and you own them afterwards. Open Value Subscription rents the same licences for the term at a lower annual price; you own nothing at the end and can reduce the count each anniversary.
Every licence added during an Open Value agreement ends on the agreement’s end date. A licence added in year 2 has two years left and its own part number and price; year 3 has one. A new agreement uses year-1 lines only.
Rarely in total. CSP sells the same perpetual licences in one payment, usually for less over three years; Open Value spreads the cost and adds Software Assurance benefits such as new versions, licence mobility and failover rights. If you want SA, Open Value; if you want the lowest price for a version you will keep, CSP perpetual. Both are priced on this site.
