Alpine Ski House has one location. The companys five departments are accounting, manufacturing, human resources (HR), sales, and information technology (IT). Business is cyclical. During peak periods, the company adds more employees. During slow periods, the number of employees is reduced.
Network Description
The number of desktops fluctuates between 300 and 400. The desktops run either
Microsoft Office 2000 Standard or Office XP Professional, and either Microsoft Windows
98, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professional.

Exchange Server 5.5, and two of the servers run Microsoft SQL Server 7.0. The HR department stores personnel data on one of the servers. The accounting department runs all the accounting applications on two of the servers.

You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Litware, Inc., a large company that has
15,000 employees.
Company Background
Litware, Inc. has 15 locations in North America and six locations in Europe and Asia. The companys two divisions are the custom software division and the hosting services division.
Both divisions are experiencing significant sales growth.
The custom software division creates custom software solutions that account for 75 percent of the total revenue for Litware, Inc. The hosting services division offers Microsoft
Exchange and Web hosting services for customers around the world. The company frequently adds 1,000 developers and testers for up to 28 months to work on specific projects.
Network Description
The custom software division creates highly integrated solutions by using Microsoft SQL
Server. The solutions must be delivered and deployed by using custom installation media.
In the past, Litware, Inc., purchased SQL Server through Full Package Product (FPP). This purchasing method no longer meets the companys solution deployment needs.
The hosting services division has one server farm that contains 500 servers. These servers run Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Operations Manager
Server, Microsoft Systems Management Server, and Microsoft Internet Security and
Acceleration Server. These applications are licensed through the companys current Select
License agreement.
Current Licensing Solution
Litware, Inc. has no established purchasing procedures. Each location has a different set of desktop products.
The offices in Europe and in Asia acquire software licenses under Open License and
FPP purchases. The offices do not have Software Assurance for the servers or the desktops.
The offices in North America acquire software licenses through a Select License agreement that has Software Assurance for the servers.
Business Goals
The companys executive team suspects that the various locations do not keep track of software purchases and could not prove ownership if the company is audited. The team wants to standardize all desktops.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend a licensing solution for the internal use of Microsoft software at
Litware, Inc. Which factor most influences the companys internal
licensing solution decision?
