The pricing for Windows 11 volume licensing varies depending on the type of license and the number of licenses you need. Here are the general pricing details:

Unlike the complex Enterprise Agreements (EA) which usually require a minimum of 500 seats, the volume licensing options for Windows 11 (specifically through Open License or CSP channels) often require as few as 5 licenses to get started. This makes "Volume Licensing" accessible to smaller organizations that want legitimate software but cannot afford or qualify for massive enterprise contracts.

Volume licensing is a program offered by Microsoft that allows businesses to purchase licenses for multiple users or devices at a discounted rate. This program is designed for organizations with multiple users or devices, providing a more cost-effective way to acquire and manage software licenses.
