Microsoft licensing explained:
from complexity to simplicity
Microsoft licensing is complicated! The products and the agreements you purchase them through have grown organically over the last 30 years. Today, the rules for how you acquire the licences for the different products are diverse, often complicated, and can differ dependent on how the licences are purchased.
We can’t change the rules, but we CAN make it easier for you to understand them. Our offers are saving licensing professionals hundreds of hours every year.
Easing licensing pain
Making it easy for you to:
The Licensing School offers
The Licensing School offers are designed to give you access to exactly what you need.
An Elementary School subscription is for people who need access to our amazing universe of licensing information, LicenseVerse, and certifications. If you want to add fortnightly training – that’s Middle School. And High School is for those people who need more training and want to get support from like-minded people in our peer community – the Senior Common Room.
Prices range from £300 to £1,800 per person per year.
LicenseVerse is a single universe of licensing information. With over 1,300 pages, it’s the world’s biggest collection of up-to-date, relevant, and accurate information on Microsoft licensing.
You’ll find world’s best explanations of Microsoft’s licensing covering traditional software, Online Services and Azure, all with links back to Microsoft’s documentation.
Ask LicenseVerse is our new AI Agent, grounded in LicenseVerse, that helps answer your licensing questions and gets you to the information you need even more quickly.
Licensing School training
We offer regular, world-class training. If Microsoft launch something new, then we’ll have training on it, and our monthly “Did You See…?” sessions make sure you’re always up-to-date with whatever’s happened in the last month. Our High Schoolers have access to more in-depth training every month too. Subscribers have access to a huge library of past training as well.
Here’s what our customers say:

Licensing School certifications
We’ve got a whole host of certifications to meet the licensing needs of everyone – all certified with a Credly badge. Our Microsoft Licensing Body of Knowledge (BOK) exams are refreshed every year so that you can demonstrate that your licensing knowledge is up to date. We’ve got three BOK exams: Foundation for those who need to demonstrate knowledge of the fundamentals, Practitioner for those who want to demonstrate a deeper knowledge, and Power Platform for those who have a specialist focus.
