Customer Sat Survey
Microsoft SPLA is the original hosted offering and allows low risk start-up, no forecasting and no up-front costs.
The Microsoft SPLA offers discounted pricing for charity and academic partners. The pricing for this as well as the corporate pricing is set on January and fixed for the following year. SPLA Licences include Software Assurance, so you can always provide the most current version.
Software included in the program are available for licensing through two models:
• Per User (Subscriber Access Licence)
• Per Processor (CPU Licence)
Subscriber Access Licence (SAL)
Whereas under traditional Microsoft licensing models you licence with a Server and a CAL model, under SPLA you licence both with a Subscriber Access Licence.
A SAL is required for each unique individual who is authorised to use the software. Benefits of the per user model include:
• Subscribers can access multiple servers from multiple devices
• Service Providers can ‘scale out’ by deploying as many servers as they need
• You only pay based upon the number of subscribers you have each month
Processor Licence
With the CPU licences, an unlimited number of end users can use the software running on a single processor. CPU Licences:
• Are easy to monitor and count, lowering administrative costs
• Can replace Internet Connector licences, eliminating the need to distinguish between internet, intranet and external users
• Are economical across a variety of business scenarios where the use of the software may vary
