About this event
Come and spend a day learning about what’s new in the world of Microsoft licensing at our new Microsoft Licensing Training Course.
With changes made to Microsoft licensing each month, it can be difficult to stay up to date. We ensure our training courses are as up to date as possible, so you’ll always receive the latest information from us.
Whether you’re:
- A Software Asset Manager needing to better ensure compliance
- A Risk & Compliance officer looking to better understand possible dangers
- A Solution Architect wanting to improve your designs
or any one of the myriad other people whose daily role involves Microsoft licensing, this session will give you the information you need to optimise your next audit, review or meeting.
We will cover both Microsoft products and Microsoft programs, so whether you’re thinking about a product upgrade, moving to the Cloud or renewing/changing your licensing agreement (or perhaps all three!) – we’re sure attending this course will be beneficial.
Topics will include:
- Understanding Microsoft Azure Licensing & billing
- Understanding the different licensing agreements – Open, MPSA, EA, SCE & CSP

The session will be informative and interactive – so bring a pen, a pad (or a laptop if you prefer) and as many questions as you can think of!

“Rich is a highly engaging and enthusiastic Mentor and Trainer. Microsoft licensing is inherently complex and extremely difficult to “make fun”; Rich however, has delivered countless workshops for all levels of aptitude; of which I have had the pleasure to attend 3. He is a pleasure to work with, as well as to learn from. I thoroughly recommend Rich for any business or individual wanting to improve upon their Microsoft knowledge”
