FS: Software Genuine Volume Licensed Software: Microsoft Office for Mac, SQL Server, Visual Studio, WinRAR, Nitro PDF, VMware Workstation Pro and many more

Unlike typical retail licensed software packages, their volume licensed counterparts offer better value in the long run. In most of the cases, there's no need to maintain a subscription, which means end users can enjoy the perpetual license through the complete life cycle of the product. They usually offer better customizability and less telemetry than the retail and OEM variants. A bulk license is also helpful for reducing the per-unit cost.

However, more and more vendors are lately moving towards subscription-based selling schemes. As a result, it becomes virtually impossible to opt for a pay-once-and-forget style purchase. Sure, an entity like a company can still procure volume licensed products with a one-time fee, but a regular user can't get the same benefit, thanks to the artificial limitations enforced by the software vendors.

As I've access to multiple volume licensing portals, I can offer a few of such products here. My rates are in INR and you should find them considerably cheaper than the regional retail pricing. The installer files are hosted on respective software maker's website. One can easily validate the authenticity of the files by examining the digital signature and/or comparing the hashes with the publicly available indices.

====================

Microsoft Office for Mac 2019 [Platform: macOS]​

The volume licensed version of Microsoft Office for Mac 2019 features Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and the OneDrive client. Microsoft Teams is not part of the core installer, but it can be installed alongside. Both x86 and Apple Silicon (i.e. the ARM-based M1 SoC) Macs are supported. Note that there is no OneDrive subscription associated with the license.

Automatic update: Supported (no major version update, though) || Licensing mechanism: Digital license package per user, no bound on the number of installations.

Cost: ₹2500

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 [Platform: Windows]​

This is the Enterprise variant of the SQL Server 2019.

Automatic update: Supported (no major version update, though) || Licensing mechanism: Digital license package with the installer per user, no bound on the number of installations.

Cost: ₹15000

Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 [Platform: Windows]​

This is the Enterprise variant of the Visual Studio 2019. Note that Azure DevOps plan or any kind of trial credit is not included. This one is meant for professionals who like to avoid all the fuss and want a feature-rich IDE.

Automatic update: Supported (no major version update, though) || Licensing mechanism: Digital activation code per user, no bound on the number of installations.

Cost: ₹10000

WinRAR [Platform: Windows]​

Paying for WinRAR might sound funny, but if you're a system admin or an enthusiastic user who wants to explore the superior self-extracting (SFX) module creation capability of this archiver without activation nags, it actually makes sense.

Automatic update: Supported (major version updates too!) || Licensing mechanism: Digital license package per user, no bound on the number of installations.

Cost: ₹200 (regular multi-user) / ₹500 (SOHO)

Nitro PDF [Platform: Windows]​

A single PDF utility to rule them all. You don't need random services in the background (*cough* Adobe *cough*) while dealing with serious PDF editing.

Automatic update: Supported (no major version update, though) || Licensing mechanism: Digital activation code per user and per PC.

Cost: ₹1500

VMware WorkStation Pro [Platform: Windows and Linux]​

The license doesn't come with the Support and Subscription Services (SnS), which means no more email support spam.

Automatic update: Supported (no major version update, though) || Licensing mechanism: Digital activation code per user and per OS, no bound on the number of installations.

Cost: ₹3000

====================

Apart from the aforementioned software packages, many more are on my list. For example, I can offer hardware-bound licenses for a handful of niche Windows 10 SKUs, e.g. Pro for Workstations, Education, IoT Enterprise, Enterprise LTSB/LTSC etc. There is no feasible way to purchase most of them outright for personal use due to the apparent lack of a single-user licensing channel, which is of course not true.

I can also share genuine untouched ISO images of regular Windows consumer and server SKUs upon individual request and a small fee, but that's not the main focus at this moment.

[Mods, I'm not sure how to comply with the "Have you provided two pics?" rule for this thread, so I'm intentionally leaving it without any picture.]

@ReVo_007

• Visual Studio subscriptions (formerly known as MSDN subscriptions) doesn't deal with volume licensing for Microsoft products. In a similar manner, Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (formerly known as MSDNAA and DreamsSpark) only offers retail variants of several Microsoft products that are suitable for the academia. What I'm offering can only being procured through the Software Assurance program. Hence there is no chance of getting a reused key that will stop working eventually, cause the VL variants of the aforementioned Microsoft products works on the principal of good old static serial numbers.
• If you go through the last paragraph, you can see I mentioned some Windows SKUs which are not even available via a regular Visual Studio subscription.
• Before creating the thread, me and some of the mods did have a discussion. Due to the fact that very few sellers can offer reselling genuine volume licensed products, they decided to give it a go as a trial.

In case you (and others) are willing to know more, kindly shoot me a PM or post the follow-up questions here. I'll be happy to answer them.
