I won't have it all, ready for MS to do they SAM licensing. Yes, I won't have it all on a sexy portal. If I buy another license in 4 years, that will be a total of around £6000 (if pricing stays the same) I might as well just buy OEM licenses if that's going to be the case. Ok, just got a quote for the open value program.ġ x server 2012 R2 Datacenter license over the 3 years works out to be £15,075 + VAT. Not only cost effectiveness but also flexibility. I know there are many threads on Software Assurance, but I just want to make sure that the business has the best model, going forward. We would also need to buy new User/Device CALS, so they are to the highest level of OS we are using. I will also want to have our DC's on Server 2012 R2 and it's operational level too, to take advantage of AD for 8.1. The reason why I am doing this excercise is to that we are ready for Windows 8.1 in the next 12/18 months. If upgrading every 4 years, would you think this would be an appropriate way of demonstrating this?Īnother thing to take into consideration is the User / Device CALS too. Year 3 = £2650 (this is only SA being paid now, which last for 2 years) Trying to work out SA total cost over 4 years VS no SA and buying the latest license then. I am working with a nice reseller, but want to ask on here anyway, to make sure I fully understand this, even though it's simple, the wrong choice due to not understand can have a big effect.
