Microsoft revises volume licensing agreements

InformationWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft unveiled a new volume licensing plan for midsize and large businesses Tuesday, aiming to simplify licensing for larger companies, especially those with multiple sites, autonomous business units, or decentralized IT management.

The new program, known as Microsoft Select Plus Volume Licensing, is a tweak of the company's Select Agreement -- some might say an upgrade, though it doesn't cost extra on its face -- that brings together volume licensing across product lines and agreements.
