There's a new module in Get Licensing Ready! It's a fifth module in the SPLA track entitled "Cloud Portability". What's that? Well, it's interesting actually - it's all the different ways that you can start with an on-premises licensing position and get to the cloud. Why not take the exam and see if you make the Cloud Portability grade? As usual, there's a video to watch and a handout to download. Do take a look - we're interested in your feedback: email GLRSupport@microsoft.com with your thoughts.

Following her customer sessions at the ITAMorg Conference in London, here’s Louise – our Head of Licensing – taking a moment to decide which is her favourite: “SQL licensing or cake?”
Thanks to everyone who came along to the Microsoft Licensing Track that we ran at last week’s ITAMOrg Conference in London. We looked at recent changes to Microsoft licensing, licensing in a hybrid environment, and then full blown cloud licensing. Well done to the winners of our splendid new mugs too. Nice to meet you all!
