You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is a company that has a Select License agreement.
Two years ago the company purchased 400 portable computers with Microsoft Windows
2000 Professional and Microsoft Office XP Professional preinstalled. Forty-five days ago the company purchased 100 desktops with Windows XP Professional and Office 2003
Professional OEM licenses.
Which of the companys current licenses are eligible to be enrolled in Software Assurance?
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Proseware, Inc., an online bookstore that has $30 million in annual sales.
Company Background
Proseware, Inc., has a main office in New York and branch offices in the United States,
Greece, and Malaysia. The company anticipates that sales will continue to grow this year.
Network Description
The company network contains 700 desktops that run Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
Two hundred of the desktops run Microsoft Office 2000 Professional, which is covered by
Software Assurance that expires in 13 months. The other 500 desktops run Office 2000
Standard, which is not covered by Software Assurance. The current desktop environment meets the company??s needs.
The network contains 100 Windows NT Server 4.0 servers that run the companys online
Web services. The company wants to upgrade all the servers to Windows Server 2003.
However, there is not enough budget to upgrade this year. The company is considering a
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 deployment, and it expects to purchase about 20 additional servers during the next three years.
Current Licensing Solution
Proseware, Inc., currently purchases Microsoft software through an Open Volume agreement. In the past, the company made license-only purchases on all server software licenses and did not invest in Software Assurance. Because of the geographical locations of the company offices, managing licenses is difficult.
Business Goals
The chief executive officer (CEO) states that the information technology (IT) department is too busy managing the server infrastructure. The IT department has the following goals:
Increase the security of the network.
Maintain stability in the organizations infrastructure.
Ensure that the technology on new servers is kept current.
Increase the return on IT investments.
The IT department does not have time for basic desktop help desk requests. The department wants to find ways to gain additional technical support from Microsoft on desktop and server products that are purchased.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend Software Assurance to Proseware, Inc., to meet the companys business goals. Which two business goals does Software Assurance meet? (Choose two.)
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Tailspin Toys, a gift retailer.
Company Background
The peak sales season for Tailspin Toys is in July. During July, the number of employees increases by as much as 50 percent. During the remainder of the year, the company has a core staff of 300 employees.
Network Description
The Tailspin Toys network contains 300 desktops that run Microsoft Office 2000
Professional and the Core client access license (CAL). The number of desktops increases to a maximum of 450 during the peak sales season. When the staff increases to its highest level, many employees use desktops that were inactive for a long time. These desktops run older versions of software.
The network contains five servers that run Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. One of the servers also runs Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0.
The company is planning the following technology changes:
Deploy the latest version of Systems Management Server so that the latest version of Office Professional can be deployed and the company can manage its desktop count and other software.
Standardize the desktop applications. This task is difficult because staffing levels fluctuate.
Current Licensing Solution
The desktop software was licensed through an Open Business agreement that ended in
2 002.
Business Goals
Tailspin Toys wants to use the latest technology to meet customer demands. However, the company requires flexibility in purchasing to meet its organizational needs. The chief financial officer (CFO) suspects that the cost of maintaining the latest technology will exceed the company budget, particularly during the slow seasons, when the desktop requirements are reduced. In addition, the CFO states that she wants the company to own all assets.
The company needs a solution that will meet its technology requirements without exceeding its budget goals.
It is currently January, which is a slow sales season. The company needs to enter a licensing agreement as soon as possible to prepare for the peak sales season.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend Software Assurance to meet some of the companys business goals. Which Software Assurance benefits meet the business goals?
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 ensure that Northwind Traders is using the most appropriate software for its business. Which additional product should you recommend?
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Humongous Insurance, a large insurance company.
Company Background
Humongous Insurance plans to acquire another insurance company that has 40 employees. The other company licenses its products through an Open Business agreement.
Network Description
The Humongous Insurance network contains 750 desktops and 70 servers. The company uses a variety of Microsoft desktop and server technology.
Current Licensing Solution
The 70 servers are licensed as additional products under an Enterprise 5.x Agreement that will expire in two months.
Business Goals
In six months, the company plans to deploy four dual-processor servers that run SQL
Server in an active/passive failover cluster configuration. These servers will allow employees to access customer information by using the Internet.
The information technology (IT) department needs to be able to get training or assistance in using the network infrastructure. The department also needs an easy way to maintain the latest Microsoft server technology.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend the most appropriate license acquisition method for the four new
SQL servers. What should you recommend?
