Volumeactivation is the process that Microsoft volume licensing customers use to automate and manage the activation of Windows operating systems, Microsoft Office, and other Microsoft products across large organizations.
Which activation method you choose depends on the size, network infrastructure, connectivity, and security requirements of your environment. You can choose to use different activation methods for different versions of Office and for different computers, for example desktops and laptops. Because these three activation methods are also used to activate volume licensed versions of Windows, you might be able to use the same method to activate both Windows and Office. For more information, see Volume Activation for Windows 10 and Volume Activation Overview.
All volume licensed versions of Office, including Project and Visio, have a preinstalled product key, called a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK), that can be used for KMS and Active Directory-based activation. You don't have to enter a product key for each Office installation if you're activating Office by using KMS or Active Directory. If you're activating Office by using MAK, you must enter a product key for each Office installation, but there are ways to automate that.
KMS activation is a client-server model in which each client requests activation from a KMS host computer. The keys needed to activate Office are installed on the KMS host computer. The client uses DNS to locate a KMS host computer to request activation.
MAK activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft-hosted activation services, either via the internet or by telephone. MAK activation requires that a MAK is installed on a client computer and instructs that computer to activate itself against those services.
Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations and is based on your volume licensing agreement. Each Office activation that uses MAK counts toward the activation limit. After Office is activated, no reactivation is required unless the hardware changes significantly.
Active Directory-based activation can activate Office installed on domain-joined computers. The product key information, which is the same that is used by KMS, is stored in Active Directory and replicated throughout the forest. If Office can't contact Active Directory for activation, Office tries to activate by using KMS.
The major difference in Retail and Volume License is not a whole lot with the exception that for Retail media you have to enter your key before you can install, with volume license you enter the key after the install and you have a grace period before you have to activate.
We have a volume license agreement with Microsoft at my company. Acheff1 is correct. In order to install a VL (anything - Office, Windows, etc.) you will have to have an agreement already in place to be able to log into the VL licensing Center to download your software and keys. Retail software will come with a key that will activate that seat of software, but VL software can be installed on many machines and be activated with the same key. You just have to purchase the correct amount of seats to match how many installations you have.
When you buy VL Microsoft software, you receive several emails from Microsoft including the means to log into the VL site to download the install files. Did you receive these emails, and if so, have you downloaded the software from the VL site?
When I ran the cmd file, setup began just like any other Office installation. It downloaded over the internet with the MS progress bar then installed. I was presuming this was from Microsoft? I entered the licence key then the software was ready to use.
What you should be concerned with is the legality of your license. Unless you live in a country where reselling of Volume Licenses is specifically permitted, mainly EU member countries, and you have the proper license transfer documentation, your software is not legal.
In this report, the Congressional Budget Office examines the factors that contributed to the growth in the volume of student loans and the effects of changes to student loan policy on borrowing and repayment. Because the report focuses on the period between 1995 and 2017, it does not cover the effects of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020.
Between 1995 and 2017, students could borrow through two major federal student loan programs, the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, which guaranteed loans issued by banks and other lenders through 2010, and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program, through which the federal government has issued loans directly since 1994. The two programs operated in parallel through 2010, either guaranteeing or issuing loans to students under nearly identical terms and conditions.
Much of the overall increase in borrowing was the result of a disproportionate increase in the number of students who borrowed to attend for-profit schools. Total borrowing to attend for-profit schools increased substantially, from 9 percent of total student loan disbursements in 1995 to 14 percent in 2017. (For undergraduate students who borrowed to attend for-profit schools, the share grew from 11 percent to 16 percent; for graduate students, it grew from 2 percent to 12 percent.) Moreover, students who attended for-profit schools were more likely to leave school without completing their programs and to fare worse in the job market than students who attended other types of schools; they were also more likely to default on their loans.

Even after 25 years, Microsoft Office remains the top dog when it comes to business productivity software, according to Groovy Post. If you're a one-person show running everything off your laptop, picking the right kind of Office license doesn't matter much. If your business grows and needs more copies, an Office volume license may start to look like a good bet.
Retail licensing, Lemington Consulting says, allows you to buy the software after you've bought your computer. You can transfer it to a different device, but only if you deactivate the original. Volume licensing allows you to install Microsoft software on multiple computers with one product key. You must purchase at least five copies to qualify. You can mix and match Microsoft products, so if you only need four copies, look for something cheap to round out the package.
Once you have a volume license, you can increase the volume in smaller increments. For example, if you need a sixth copy a year from now, you can buy just one additional license. Microsoft doesn't require you to wait until you need five more licenses.
Windows Central) says with volume licensing you can use one master product key to activate as many installations as you've paid for. However you can't use it to install MS Office on an outside computer. If you sell off one of your used laptops, you can't sell the Office software with it. Other than those limits, the software is freely portable between machines.
Another potential advantage for volume licensing is that it comes with downgrade rights. Microsoft says if, for example, you buy the latest version of an Office volume license, that licenses you to use older versions as well. If some of your computers aren't compatible with the most up-to-date software, this provides you with a compromise solution until you can upgrade. Microsoft only allows downgrading within product families. If you buy an MS Office volume license, you can downgrade to an older Office, but not to an older version of Enterprise.
Software Assurance is another set of benefits you can pay to bundle in with an Office volume license. When you buy Software Assurance, it comes with the right to upgrade to a newer version of your software once one becomes available. If, for example, you buy one version of Office six months before the next version of Office becomes available, Software Assurance lets you upgrade to that new version. You can also buy the software for home use at a discount price.

I typically take calls through my headphones, where volume changes work as expected. However, if I disconnect my headphones to listen to the meeting through the laptop speakers, the volume changes. For a split-second the volume will be at the correct level, and immediately afterwards will reduce so low that it's almost impossible to hear (think listening to headphones without having them in your ears).
i'm having the same issue, i was using an IPAD and when I discovered that the volume is very low, I opened the laptop instead of IPAD and logon to teams to discover that the volume is also very low, which means that the issue in the teams itself!!@Ian_Lewczynski
@Diabolo Having the same issue today (12/21/2020) with all of my TEAMS video meetings this morning. I use an iPad Pro with the latest software updates installed. My volume is at 100% in order to hear others in the meeting, and they all say they can barely hear me / each other.
