Differences between alternative license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly understands what type of license they are acquiring and what functions they can expect based on the chosen option.

Alternative license: is a non-original, one-time payment license without monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to install, configure, publish reports, manage reports, and work with BI content from the computer or server where it is installed. It does not include official updates, cloud services, official Microsoft support, subscription benefits, or linking with personal or corporate accounts from the manufacturer. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.

Original license: is the official option from the manufacturer. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, online services, updates, enterprise license benefits, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it normally operates under enterprise plans, capacity-based licensing, subscriptions, or corporate agreements, according to the modality defined by Microsoft.

For business, corporate, governmental, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, and more demanding professional needs.

Note: These licenses are tied to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
