Differences between alternate 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.

Alternate License: This is a non-original license, with a one-time payment and no monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to create projects, write code, compile applications, debug errors, work on solutions, run tests, and develop software from the computer where it is installed. It does not include official full updates, complete online services, Visual Studio Subscription, Azure DevOps, official Microsoft benefits, official Microsoft support, corporate licenses, or full linking with personal or corporate accounts of the manufacturer. Linking accounts, manual updating, modifying components, or changing the installation may affect activation and require additional technical assistance with cost.

Original License: This is the official option from the manufacturer. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, available updates, formal licensing, official support, Visual Studio Subscription benefits when applicable, connected services, and enterprise compatibility. Its cost is usually higher and it may operate under a subscription, professional license, enterprise license, volume, annual plan, Microsoft account, or modality defined by Microsoft.

For business, corporate, government, academic, industrial, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, enterprise collaboration, operational continuity, and higher-demand professional needs.

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