Microsoft Licensing

The Microsoft Service Provider Licence Agreement (SPLA) allows you to licence Microsoft products on a monthly basis.

Microsoft SPLA is available in conjunction with our hosting services including our Private Server (powered by VMware) and VPS (powered by Virtuozzo) services.

For example we can offer complete outsourced server solutions including Microsoft Windows Server with client access via Terminal Services complete with Microsoft Office and other client applications. All you need to install at your site is thin clients and network access, we'll take care ofthe rest.

Microsoft SPLA is also available to companies providing web hosting services, in fact it's the only licence that allows you to resell hosting services.

Advantages of Microsoft SPLA include:

No up front capital costs, easy monthly payments
All software upgrades are included in the monthly cost, no paying for upgrades
User licences can be added or subtracted as you require
Easy to manage licencing
Per subscriber or per processor licencing available (product dependent)

Products available under Microsoft SPLA includes Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Sharepoint, Microsoft Office and many more. Click here for the complete list (as at January 2008).

Ipera will manage the agreement with Microsoft on your behalf and invoice you monthly for your usage.
