Full Packaged Product (FPP)
The shrink-wrapped box of licensed software sold through the distribution channel to resellers, FPP generally contains one licence per box, along with media and documentation and is designed to meet low-volume needs.

OEM Licensing
Often the easiest and most economical way for customers to receive their Windows PC and server operating systems or software, OEM Licensing is for those selling hardware with preinstalled software.
