Common licence channels

A full packaged product licence, typically transferable to a new device subject to the vendor's terms. Most flexible channel.
OEM
Tied to the device on which it was first activated; generally not transferable to a different device.
Volume
Activated through a volume-licensing agreement or key-management service; details are shown on the product page.
Academic
Available to qualifying educational users; eligibility is set by the vendor.
Subscription
Valid for the term shown on the product page. Renewal is not automatic unless stated.
Account-based / invitation
Access is granted through a vendor account for the stated term. Recovery and ownership rules are listed on the product page.

Per-product, per-channel details will be pulled automatically from the SKU model fields when the A3b work ships. For now, the product page is the authoritative source for the licence that applies to your order.
