Workshop Description

This unique workshop provides a full understanding of Microsoft’s Volume Licensing programmes, Product Use Rights and the benefits of Software Assurance. It offers guidance on Software Assurance renewals. Although focused on Microsoft licensing, the workshop will give you pointers to managing your organisation’s software assets generally.  

 

Objectives

When you buy a software licence you are buying the right to use the software not the software itself. So, how do you know whether you are buying the correct licence for your needs and are legally compliant? How can you minimise your costs and maximise your benefits?

 

We will help you understand how to purchase and manage licences and renewals in the most cost-effective way, how auditing what you have will help ensure that you are balancing your business, financial and technical needs whilst remaining legally compliant.

  • What is a licence?
