Microsoft has tweaked its licensing program again. This time the changes give IT shops with Software Assurance more flexibility whether they install application servers on premises or they are hosted by service providers. These changes go into effect on July 1 of this year.
The new license mobility will cover SQL Server, Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, Lync Server, System Center servers, and Dynamics CRM.
Andrew Wolfe, Microsoft’s senior product manager of worldwide licensing and pricing met with Ed Scannell, executive editor of SearchWindowsServer.com at TechEd this week to discuss what the enhancements mean for enterprises and why Microsoft's licensing rules are so hard to decipher.
