Questions and Answers
o The partner who signs the SPLA agreement, typically the Hosting Partner. The LAR is not
required to enroll as an authorized License Mobility partner.
o Any Microsoft Volume Licensing customer who has eligible application server licenses
covered with active Software Assurance may elect to use License Mobility through
Software Assurance.
These include Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Microsoft Open Value Agreement, where Software
Assurance is included, and other Volume Licensing programs where Software Assurance is an option such as the
Microsoft Select Plus Agreement.
 More information is available on the Microsoft Partner Network Software Assurance page at
https://partner.microsoft.com/licensing/. Customers can find information on the Microsoft Volume Licensing
Software Assurance page at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/software-assurance/license-mobility.aspx

Questions and Answers, II
o Yes. A simple customer license validation process began in late 2011.

2.
Customers will need to choose an authorized partner for License Mobility through Software Assurance.
Once they select an Authorized Mobility Partner, the customer fills out a license validation form available on the
Microsoft Volume Licensing page at www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com.
o No. The End User Customer may deploy in Service Provider’s Cloud immediately.
o The End User Customer has 10 days to submit a license Mobility Verification form.
o Microsoft will verify eligibility for License Mobility within 10 days of receiving the form.
o Microsoft will inform the customer and the Authorized Mobility Partner and channel partner
10
of record of the validation results, including why the verification was not granted. The
customer can make the necessary revisions and resubmit the form as many times as required.
Questions and Answers, III
o No. The quantity of servers is communicated, but not the quantity of CALs. This information
is not captured on the License Mobility Verification form.
o Reapplication is required when the End User Customer wants to move from one Authorized
Mobility Partner/Hoster to another, or when they renew their VL or SA.
o The form is available on the Microsoft Volume Licensing page at www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com or
11
on the Partner’s website.
o The customer will complete the form and submit it to their channel partner or Microsoft account
manager.
o The partner or account manager will submit the form to the Microsoft Regional Operations Center.
Questions and Answers, IV
o The Windows Server component is licensed through the service provider via SPLA.
o No. A Hosting partner must acquire Subscriber Access Licenses (SALs) for SA.
o SALs for SA provide a way for customers to recognize license investment if they want to have
licenses delivered as a multi-tenant service.
o A customer does not need to submit a License Mobility Verification form in this scenario.
o Yes, but they cannot mix for one product SKU.
o (Example: Lync Standard can be VL and Lync Enterprise Plus can be SPLA)

Use Case #1: Improperly Licensed
1. Customer and SPLA Hosting Partner receive rejection and
explanation from MSFT Regional Operating Center within 10 days
of receipt.
2. Customer has three options:
A.
B.
C.
13
Amend VL and reapply
Discontinue Hosted Service
Purchase licenses from SPLA partner, if product is not licensed via VL
Use Case #2: Growing Customer

since CAL quantity is not included in the LM verification form.
If Open/VL:

Must acquire additional licenses before providing service on additional users.
If EA:
1.
14
At VL anniversary, End User Customer trues up VL to cover 800.
Use Case #3: Declining Customer
Not applicable. Adjusting CAL license quantities falls outside the
scope of License Mobility.

Use Case #4: Additional SKU

A. Customer can acquire additional licenses under VL (Plus CAL).
B. SPLA partner can acquire Lync Enterprise Plus SAL per user under
SPLA for the benefit of the customer.

Standard SAL for SA (Provides Standard IM/P), or
Enterprise (Provides Standard IM/P & Enterprise/Conferencing functionality), or
Plus (Provides Standard IM/P & Plus/Voice functionality), or

functionality)
The customer does not need to submit a license mobility verification form.
