I have searched a lot, but can not find any information regarding my requirements. Best regards Giovanni. Monday, November 14, PM. Tuesday, November 15, AM. Hi, Providing such seperated access to the License Server is not possible by default.
RDS now has mobility rights, I think Office should too. If I was a service provider, I would work with someone who is an expert in SPLA based licensing and an expert in software assurance benefits. As you can see from my previous posts and with VDI, software assurance is a requirement for most cloud based licensing solutions. In years past, SA Software Assurance was only leveraged for organizations that wanted the latest version on software and pay annually for the licenses under their agreement.
Fast forward to today and customers want to move to the cloud but leverage their existing licenses. Have you been asked that before? How do they accomplish that? The answer is Software Assurance. If I was a Microsoft shareholder, I would applaud that move.
Please email me at blaforge splalicensing. Keep in mind, blogging is my hobby and I am relaying information from experience.
Microsoft has the final say. Does a service provider need to report an extra Exchange SAL for non-authorized users, such as a conference room?
If you choose to assign two licenses from two different programs to one hardware, some of the use rights will contradict each other. SPLA is designed for external consumption whereas internal licensing is designed for your own employees.
These are not free, just reported under your SPLA. Instead of reporting just 50 licenses, you would report Check SPUR for more details.
This would fall under the managed PC use case. What are the rules of licensing additional users under License Mobility for Software Assurance? Can a service provider license additional users with SALs?
In License Mobility for SA scenario, the end customer has to maintain CALs in their perpetual licensing program to access the application servers. They can only transfer back after 90 days. Check mobility addendum. Am I on the hook? You are responsible for your own hosted offering.
I would ensure you have documentation of all customer owned licenses AND make sure this is part of your agreement with your customer.
You may get audited, but that does not stop you from auditing your customer. US softwareone. Things are changing in the world of data center outsourcing, but for some reason this is still stuck in the mud. Why no VDI today? I wrote about this topic earlier, but my hunch is it has something to do with the OEM manufactures.
OEM is a big piece of Microsoft business, and they protect it. Although Surface kind of muddies that theory. So even under a rented desktop model, OEM is still a requirement. The only thing that would change this model is if they received a very high number of requests to offer this through Azure. RDS was never part of license mobility. Azure comes along and before you know it- RDS has mobility rights! Office is a prime example of this. Under O, you can take Office and install it on up to 5 PCs.
One new capability in the latest SPLA agreement is you can install software on customer owned hardware. BUT guess what? That does not apply to PCs. Would love to hear about your thoughts on the topic.
Have you tried Windows server and RDS as an alternative? What about dedicated environments for VDI? Customers can leverage their existing volume licensing agreements with software assurance to install RDS in your datacenter.
Pay attention to which products are eligible for license mobility. Last, make sure your customers have active software assurance for all licenses used for license mobility! Home About. How was I able to save them? Remember, it is not who accesses but who HAS access. So frustrating. For SQL workloads, we noticed many servers were passive, yet they were paying for those passive instances. This provided a VDI type offering, something they had been considering for a very long time.
