Optimize your Microsoft licensing & reduce unnecessary costs.
Schedule an Assessment!Know Where Your Microsoft Licensing Stands
Microsoft’s licensing landscape is complex and ever-changing. If your business is preparing for a true-up, new purchase, contract renewal or audit, you need to ensure your licenses are:
- Compliant – Avoid unexpected audit penalties and compliance risks.
- Optimized – Reduce overspending and eliminate unnecessary licensing.
- Future-Ready – Align with your business strategy and Microsoft’s evolving policies.
Without proper licensing oversight, companies unintentionally overpay or risk non-compliance. At Remend, we specialize in identifying inefficiencies, uncovering cost-saving opportunities, and ensuring compliance before issues arise.
Common Microsoft Licensing Pitfalls
Are you paying for licenses you don’t need?
Microsoft licensing rules frequently change, making it easy to overspend or fall out of compliance.
Some common challenges include:
- SQL Server Licensing Gaps – If you purchased SQL Server licenses five years ago without Software Assurance (SA), they may no longer be valid for virtual deployments.
- Windows Server Licensing Changes – As of October 2022, Microsoft policy updates eliminate hardware-mapping requirements, freeing up potential savings.
- Microsoft 365 Subscription Variances – Microsoft 365 licenses purchased through an Enterprise Agreement (EA) grant different rights than those bought through a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP).
Gain clarity, compliance and cost control with Remend’s Microsoft Licensing Tune-Up to ensure that you are not overspending.
