When I set out to write a series on Microsoft software licensing, I never expected there to be a total of nine posts.<\/p>\n

For those who missed the others, they were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Client and server<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Licensing without CALs<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Server products<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. System Center products<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Virtualisation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Forefront security products<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. How to buy Microsoft software<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. Software Assurance<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In this final post in the series, I’ll provide some useful links to Microsoft software licensing resources.<\/p>\n

    To start off with, there’s the Microsoft Licensing Reseller Handbook<\/a> – intended for partners but publicly available and packed with links.<\/p>\n

    For those interested in volume licensing, the Microsoft Volume Licensing Reference Guide<\/a> is intended for customers and explains the various options that are available.<\/p>\n

    Next up, there’s Emma (Lady Licensing)’s Licensing and Software Asset Management blog<\/a>… which has a stack of information but I do find it a little odd that almost the first thing you read on the site is a notice that shouts “DO NOT COPY CONTENT WITHOUT MY EXPRESS PERMISSION” when the whole point is about sharing information (try Creative Commons<\/a>) and much of that information appears to be a direct copy and paste from information provided by her employer (Microsoft)!<\/p>\n

    Other links that might be useful include:<\/p>\n
