Benefits of the Program
Most Current Product Versions: With SPLA, you have access to the most current versions of Microsoft software for one simple monthly price. Download your licensed products instead of ordering physical media.
Flexible Cost Structure: SPLA offers a monthly usage-based cost. Therefore, you pay only for what you made available to your customers in the previous month.
Pricing Stability: SPLA price increases, if any, occur only once a year in January.
Use Rights Protection: The Services Provider Use Rights (SPUR) document details all product use rights for this program. Product use rights are specific to each product version and will not change for the duration of the program.
Cash Flow Management: With SPLA, you have minimal start-up costs, since you only pay for licenses based on what you make available to provide services each month.
Academic SKUs: Academic pricing on selected server products is available when you deploy services to qualified education customers.
Worldwide Distribution: Use Microsoft software products to sell your services to customers in any part of the world, where allowed, regardless of your location.
Customer evaluations: Use licensed products to provide software services to your prospective customers on a trial basis for up to 60 days.
Customer demonstrations: You can have up to 50 active user IDs for demonstration purposes.
