Allocation doesn’t matter.
• Purchase of SA will be more expensive than
Subscription model
• Software Assurance continuity will require
coverage from 1st July.
• This is a 3 Month saving on Subscription.
• Subscription is the cheapest way to acquire
SA.
Are you thinking about going to Thin
Clients?
• Customers that use PCs covered with active
Windows Client SA to access a virtual desktop
do not need any additional licensing.
• For customers intending to use Thin Clients,
Microsoft has introduced Microsoft VDA
(Virtual Desktop Access)
• Windows VDA is a device based subscription,
and will be available through all major
Microsoft Volume Licensing programs
OCS Voice CAL
• There is the Microsoft grandfathering policy that
can be applied as long as customer maintains
their SA of ECAL Suite or OCS Enterprise CAL until
OCS 15 will become available.
• So if the customer renews their agreement with
ECAL Suite or OCS Enterprise CAL until OCS 15,
Voice CAL 15 will be granted for them.
• This would be recommend to off-set any future
cost of looking at Unified Comms with Exchange
2010 and OCS Server.
MDOP
(Product List - Page 77 of 137 July 2010)
• Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for
Software Assurance (MDOP) is [...] available
only to those customers who have Software
Assurance on their Windows Desktop.
• Therefore, customers must have Windows SA
coverage for Application Virtualization using
App-V
Unlimited Virtualization on SQL
Enterprise
(Product List - Page 122 of 137 July 2010)
• Enterprise customers who maintain active software
assurance coverage on SQL Server 2008 R2
Enterprise licenses are granted the following
temporary use rights
• When the software is licensed under the Per
Processor licensing model: Customers may run, at
any one time, any number of instances of the server
software in one physical and any number of virtual
operating system environments
Windows Virtualization Right
(Product Use Rights - Page 7 of 136 July 2010)
• If you acquire “Software Assurance”, you have the
right to use “Windows 7 Enterprise” on the device
instead of Windows Professional.
• This also permits you during the term of your
Software Assurance coverage to run up to four
additional copies or instances on the device.
• The right to run instances ends with SA
ECAL – Subscription is the cheapest
route for this :

Investing in local software
• If you need to ‘fill’ shortfall in small areas
– Select
– Open
• If you need to maintain Windows 7 subscriptions for MDOP;
• And/or utilise ECAL functionality above and beyond any transferred
allocation
– ESA is the cheapest route
• For ad-hoc server acquisitions Select will remain the ideal vehicle
– BUT with some forethought these can be wrapped into the ESA option,
or enrolled into either
1) Enrolment for Application Platform
2) Enrolment for Core infrastructure
