Microsoft Licensing
As Microsoft solution and licensing experts, we help organisations achieve their objectives through the use of Microsoft’s extensive range of products and services.
Modern Microsoft Licensing Made Simple
Microsoft’s product suite continues to grow at a pace, offering powerful tools for businesses of all sizes. But with so many licensing options—and regular updates across Microsoft 365, Azure, and beyond—it can be difficult to keep up. That’s where we come in.
In the past, most businesses bought perpetual licences for software like Microsoft Office. These licences never expired but had limitations: no upgrade options, limited support, and compatibility challenges. Versions like Office 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2016 were supported for a few years before newer editions arrived, often creating a patchwork of different software versions across teams. Upgrading was expensive and time-consuming, especially when third-party applications also needed updating to stay compatible.
Smaller companies often bought their licences via retail channels, while larger organisations used Microsoft Open License programmes. These sometimes included Software Assurance for limited upgrade rights, but the options were still restrictive. Add to that the complexity of user-based vs device-based licences, and many organisations were left confused about the best fit for their needs.
Today, Microsoft licensing has evolved. Most organisations now benefit from flexible monthly subscriptions through Microsoft 365 and other cloud services. These offer always-up-to-date tools, built-in security, and the flexibility to scale up or down as your business needs change. With many apps now available through the browser, deployment is simpler, and compatibility issues are reduced.
Microsoft has also bundled many of its products into tailored plans like the Microsoft 365 Business Premium or the Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) suite, offering excellent value and streamlined management.
Choosing the right mix of licences is key to getting the best return on investment. As a trusted Microsoft partner, we help you navigate the options and find the best solution for your organisation, saving you time, money, and complexity.
