OLP: Open License Program is a structure where you lease a license for 2 years, usually for Small to Medium sized businesses.



NL: No Level (Levels give you a discount on how many licenses you purchase at once)

No Level - for 1 to 49 users

Level C - for 50+ users)



OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer is a license good for an Original computer from a manufacturer like Dell or HP and even custom built computers. The license is only good on the computer it is first installed on, for the life of that computer.



Windows 7 PRO has the same operating system on both discs, only the license is different. However the disc has a special code when it is installed so it only accepts the OEM license on the OEM disc and OLP license on the OLP disc.

The basic operating system is Windows XP. Microsoft developed two versions of XP: XP Home and XP Pro. Early on Microsoft believed the Home version would be more suitable for home users and the Pro version more suitable for businesses. Average users find the XP Home very adequate, especially since it's about $100 less than the XP Pro. Shortly after XP was released to the public, many problems were discovered and Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released. It was a giant "fix" for the problems and both XP Home and XP Pro needed it. Same thing with SP2. It addressed several security issues and also included everything that was in SP1. So if you went to a store and bought either XP Home or Pro, the disk you received would include SP2 and this was a "Genuine" product because it came with a special one of a kind 25 digit Product Key that was needed when it was installed on a computer. And it didn't matter what computer you had. This disk could be used on a Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc. But if you bought your computer from a manufacturer with the XP already installed, you would receive an OEM disk (original equipment manufacturer) instead of an upgrade or full install disk. The OEM disk contained the XP, but it was specially made for that specific computer and usually contained specific manufacturing info (and ads) for that company (Dell, HP, etc.) If you have a Dell OEM for example, it probably contains the drivers, etc. needed for your specific computer. It might not even work 100% on another Dell model. Hope this helps you understand the differences.
