In today's dynamic and heterogeneous IT environment, understanding multiple licenses and acquiring the appropriate one is becoming more complex. Managing software licenses would be easy . . . if you acquire the simple, flexible, cost effective, pay-as-you-go Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) program.

The Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) program is designed for all software service providers including Web hosters, application services providers, messaging and/or collaboration services providers, platform infrastructure providers, streaming media services providers and ISVs with hosted applications running on Microsoft technologies.
Other Microsoft Volume Licensing programs-such as Enterprise Agreement, Select License, and Open License-do not allow commercial hosting of Microsoft licensed products. In contrast, the SPLA is designed specifically for services providers so that you can deliver software services to your customers, or even to third parties.
