Microsoft denies Software Assurance exodus | |
|

| Time: 00:29 EST/05:29 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Contrary to reports that indicate a high level of dissatisfaction, Microsoft claims that it is seeing record high renewal rates of its enterprise software agreements. In a posting on a company website, Joe Matz, corporate vice president of Worldwide Licensing and Pricing said that renewal for the company's Enterprise Agreements "exceeded the high end of our historic range of 66-75 per cent". Enterprise Agreements are Microsoft volume licensing programme for large companies. The programme includes a mandatory subscription to the Software Assurance programme. The latter entitles customers to free upgrades for their software at a fee of 29 per cent of the original license. A user who paid $200 for his copy of Windows Vista for instance will have to pay $58 each year thereafter for potential updates. | ||

Renewals.... Maybe because folks don't realistically have a choice?

Something does not match here: The article title is focused on "SA" but the article is about the "Enterprise Agreement" and SA is "mandatory" if you have it. It would be interesting to see the renewal rate for companies using "Open license" and "Select license" agreements. This post was edited by Fritzly on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 at 11:07. |

techlarry. interesting logic.
if they dont renew, ABM's claim its a revolt. If they do renew, then its because they have no choice. Do you not see the inherent bias in that? |

I don't know about any revolt. All I know is there isn't much choice.

Another slow day in tech news land . . . Hey! I know . . . let's talk about Microsoft SA.
And who's to blame for that, TechLarry, Microsoft? By the way, how come Microsoft's sales and income keep steadily going up? It must be all those SA defections, right? |
