Article 225 of Vietnam's Criminal Code and Software Copyright Infringement

Compliance guide for English-speaking individuals, IT teams, and SMEs buying or managing Microsoft software in Vietnam.

Last updated: 2026-06-10 · Source review in progress

Article 225 of Vietnam's Criminal Code and Software Copyright Infringement requires checking the exact edition, license format, intended user or device, and supporting purchase records. For buyers in Vietnam, confirm the displayed VND price, stock, VAT invoice details, activation method, and handover documents before ordering.

Define the review scope

List the devices, users, software editions, activation states, and business owners included in the review.

Collect evidence

Keep invoices, purchase emails, product packaging or COA information, license assignments, and deployment records together.

Separate facts from assumptions

An activated screen does not by itself prove that a license is correctly sourced or suitable for the organization.

Create a remediation plan

Prioritize unclear or high-risk installations, confirm the correct license route, and document each completed change. This guide is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

VAT invoices are available on request for eligible orders. Send the product, quantity, device context, and billing details through Zalo, Facebook, or the hotline for confirmation.
