You are a licensing specialist. Today your customer acquired 20 new desktops that have
Microsoft Windows XP Professional preinstalled. The customer wants to enroll these licenses in Software Assurance.How much time does the customer have to enroll these licenses in Software Assurance?
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Adventure Works, a human resources staffing company.
Company Background
Adventure Works has 10 offices that are located in three states. The company has grown consistently and it plans to hire additional employees.
Network Description
The company network contains 800 desktops that run several different versions of
Microsoft Office Professional. Other Microsoft applications that are installed on the desktops vary by location.
Each office contains three servers that run Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and
Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Enterprise Edition. Other server software that is installed varies by location.
Current Licensing Solution
Adventure Works acquires its licenses through an Open Business agreement. The chief information officer (CIO) states that the Open Business agreement is difficult to manage and does not allow the company to combine its purchases so that it qualifies for additional discounts and benefits.
Business Goals
Adventure Works has the following business goals for the coming year:
Standardize the desktops to allow greater control of the information technology (IT) environment. Because some offices use in-house applications that are only compatible with older software versions, it might not be possible to upgrade software versions in all offices immediately.
Stay current on the latest technology.
Reduce the amount of time that the IT department spends on internal help desk requests.
Reduce the cost of maintaining the companys infrastructure.
The company has the budget to implement these plans.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend the most appropriate licensing solution for Adventure Works.
What should you recommend?
Which licenses or agreement types provide downgrade rights? (Choose all that apply.)
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 identify the current software acquisition model for Litware, Inc. Which model should you identify?
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Northwind Traders, a small manufacturer of winter sportswear.
Company Background
Northwind Traders sells sportswear to outlets in the United States and Canada. Northwind
Traders has 200 sales representatives.
Network Description
Each sales representative has a portable computer and a handheld device. Northwind
Traders purchased 100 new portable computers for the sales force less than 60 days ago.
These new computers had Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2003
Professional preinstalled.
The company has 80 desktops in the main office. These desktops are older PCs running
Windows 98 and Office 97 Professional.
Current Licensing Solution
In July 2002, Northwind Traders purchased licenses and Software Assurance for Windows
98 and Office Professional on the desktops through the Open License program. No upgrades have been installed, due to the hardware constraints of the older desktops.
Business Goals
Northwind Traders plans to launch an online store to expand its business into the worldwide market.
The company plans to update its server environment with the following software:
Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Microsoft SQL Server 2000, for its online store
The company plans to replace the 100 older portable computers within the next year.
The company wants to continue to increase sales by effectively servicing existing customers and by expanding its customer base without adding employees.
The company president wants to standardize all software on the desktops and the portable computers, but he does not want to spend budget on upgrading the 80 noncritical desktops.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend a change in the software acquisition process for Northwind
Traders. Which factor has the greatest influence on the need to change?
