Workshop Description

Microsoft has launched a raft of new products with more licensing options than ever before. Microsoft always sells the latest version. So, make sure you make the best purchasing decision even if you run earlier releases under downgrade rights.      

 

Also, do you understand Microsoft's licensing rules and special offers in Virtual Server and Virtual Desktop environments? ...and how you need to license to cover Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery scenarios? 

 

Objective

This course will enable delegates to understand Microsoft’s latest licensing agreements and options, and how to make the transition from previous licensing models, including understanding which new product releases and licences you are entitled to under Software Assurance. We also cover licensing in Terminal Server/Citrix, Virtual Server Technology and Disaster Recovery scenarios.
