The following documents, which may change monthly (and are included by reference in your agreement), are the Product Terms and Online Terms of Service. These are the documents that explicitly state the usage rights that Microsoft grants to a licensee for a particular Microsoft product. Note that all uses that are not explicitly granted are reserved by Microsoft. We`ll often have a customer who will express frustration by saying, “Microsoft doesn`t say I can`t…” – but it doesn`t work that way. Providers are not required to describe all prohibited use cases. All they need to do is articulate the specific rights of use they make available to a licensee. Finally, there are affiliate registration forms, business registration or server and cloud registration. It`s no secret that acquiring Microsoft contracts, products, and services is a complex undertaking. One of the first things IT buyers should have in mind are the various Microsoft contracts – and the multi-step architecture on how they deal with each other. There are different types of contract documents that need to be verified: program-level documents include the Select Plus or MPSA agreement and the Enterprise Agreement. These documents set out the rules of the licensing program. As part of the Enterprise Agreement, the agreement describes, for example, licensing, the duration of the licensing, the fact that Software Assurance is a necessary part of the Enterprise Agreement program, and much more.
These documents are also generally considered Evergreen in the long term and do not have a fixed end date. .
