For your own use, most of the common stuff is free. The idea is that you use it to demo product to prospective clients who then buy the real one off MS. All the OS level stuff including SQL Server, all Office pro products, a lot of peripheral stuff like Project and Visio and quite a few dev. tools are included. Depending on which s/w product you get OEM licences for 1 to 10 PCs. Full details on their website https://partner.microsoft.com/global/30000104

Software License Brokers
Hi All
Curious as to whether anybody has had dealings with a company named Discount Licensing, their business model is that they basically act as a broker to sell Microsoft licences from companies in liquidation and sell these to companies at discount.
Any feedback on this business model most welcome ...
You can check out their site below ...
http://www.discount-licensing.com
Software is in many cases not the personal property of the user, who is normally granted permission (known as a “licence”) to use it. While certain types of licence cannot be independently transferred, Microsoft's own transfer conditions do allow such a service within Volume Licensing.
Therefore, the ability to transfer a perpetual software licence from a downsizing company to an active one, is legal as long as you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions of the relevant software vendor.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 9 October 2006, 16:02.Tags: None
