Comments for Emma Explains Microsoft Licensing in Depth! http://ladylicensing.wordpress.com All you need to know about Microsoft Licensing Mon, 14 May 2012 14:31:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Getting the most from Software Assurance by Ethan Murray http://ladylicensing.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/getting-the-most-from-software-assurance/#comment-1157 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:31:09 +0000 http://ladylicensing.wordpress.com/?p=200#comment-1157 Thanks. The March 2012 document says, “Microsoft Software Assurance is an offering that provides benefits that may include new version rights, … For details on each of the benefits and policies, refer to the Software Assurance (SA) Benefits Section of this document.” And in section 6 on Software Assurance Benefits, I find “New Version Rights” for the “Server Pool” are “Yes”. Then I find, “New Version Rights means, for any underlying licensed product for which Software Assurance coverage is ordered, the right to upgrade to, and run in place of the underlying licensed product, the latest version of that product that we make available during the covered period. For example, if a new version of Microsoft Office is made available during the term of your coverage, your licenses will automatically be upgraded to the new version.”

I have SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with a Server+CAL license on a 64-core server. It seems that the language above would grant me a free upgrade to SQL 2012 on the whole server, yet that was not what my Microsoft representative was offering. That’s why I was trying to track down the contract specifics.

They dont usually die with the server and can be reassigned, just not on a temp basis, 90day rule of reassignment typically applies, software license terms for the specific product will state the rules
