Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BACK40 coupon valid on every product?
Yes. The BACK40 code takes 40% off any product listed on this page and applies across the wider Softkeyworld catalogue during the Back to School Sale period.
What is the difference between the 1 PC and 3 PC versions?
A 1 PC licence activates on a single computer. The 3 PC version lets you activate the same software on three separate machines, which works out cheaper per device if you have a laptop and a desktop, or you are buying for a shared study space.
What is the difference between Windows Server Standard and Datacenter?
Standard suits physical or lightly virtualised servers and includes rights for two virtual machines. Datacenter is built for heavily virtualised environments and includes unlimited virtual machine rights on the licensed hardware, along with features such as Storage Spaces Direct and Software Defined Networking.
Do the SQL Server licences include CALs?
Yes. Both SQL Server 2022 and SQL Server 2025 Standard are sold with Client Access Licences, and you can select the CAL quantity you need on the product page before applying BACK40.
How quickly will I receive my licence key?
Keys are delivered by email to the address used at checkout, usually within a few minutes of the payment being confirmed. Check your spam folder if it has not arrived within an hour, then email support@softkeyworld.com.
Do I need a student ID to buy at these prices?
No. The Back to School Sale is open to everyone — students, teachers, parents, IT departments and general buyers alike. No verification is required.
Are these lifetime licences or subscriptions?
Everything on this page is a one-time lifetime licence tied to your device or account. There is nothing to renew and no monthly fee.
What if my key does not activate?
Contact support@softkeyworld.com with your order number. We will troubleshoot the activation with you and issue a replacement key or a refund under our 7-day return policy.
