Before you choose

Before you choose a license.

What should we bring to a Microsoft licensing conversation?

Share the product, version, edition and deployment you are considering, together with users, devices or server specifications as relevant. Include any existing licenses and agreements. The correct licensing approach depends on the product and your usage; a product name alone is not enough to establish requirements.

Can we compare server and desktop licensing together?

Yes—bring the overall requirement to sales, then review each product’s licensing separately. Windows Server, SQL Server, Exchange, SharePoint, Office and Windows have different considerations. Confirm editions, quantities, access rights and any additional requirements in the proposed quote.

What should we confirm before approving a quote?

Check the exact product and edition, license quantity, term where applicable, usage rights and what is included. Ask about any prerequisites or exclusions that affect your deployment. If your requirement is subscription-based, explore the Microsoft 365 and cloud options as well.
