Problems with licensing from Microsoft? Do you know about the “Step Towards” program?

I have been thinking about how to write this post or not to write, because I suppose that he will have a heated discussion in the comments about how bad things are difficult (read difficult) with us (in MS) :) I agree that everything is not as simple as we would like, BUT, remember the words of the public a couple years ago : Microsoft does not offer us options, etc., that is, people complained about the lack of choice, but now the situation is the opposite: the choice is too big and not always so clear :) We are trying to find a middle ground, I hope you understand that ...

But enough talk, it's time to get down to business :) We created the Step Up Program program , the site of which is located at http://www.microsoft.com/rus/microsoft4you/ . The program provides extensive information support on:
- software licensing,
- license management as an asset of an organization
- confirmation of the legality of the installed software during inspections (including the possibility to receive by fax on the official form from us a list of purchased licenses, as well as an explanation of the controversial issues encountered during the inspection)
')
Support is implemented in the form of:
- a set of documents and FAQ on the site microsoft4you.ru (a good example is the document Basics of Licensing )
- telephone hotline 8 800 200 80 01 (the call is free from anywhere in Russia and anonymous, no need to be afraid, no one will track you by phone and check the legality of your entire infrastructure, we just want to help you)
- licensing trainings for clients, special trainings for corporate lawyers, as well as special offers through partners .

From myself I want to add that in our TechNet forums there is a whole section on Licensing , where you can ask questions.

PS I hope the site will be useful to you. That he will allow to find answers at least part of your questions. And do not hesitate to call the hotline, they will help you there!
