The GLR Elves have been busy and have made some changes to the Software Assurance module updating it for the Azure Hybrid Use Benefit, Self Hosting Use Rights, and MBC. The handout is worth downloading since it's a particularly useful summary of all the benefits and their availability. And talking of GLR handouts, did you know you can find all of the GLR handouts in one place here? https://bit.ly/GLRHandouts.
Need some Microsoft licensing training? Louise will be running a half-day session on the morning of Thursday 9th June in London, where she'll get you up to date with all the latest changes, and then tackle the important things to know about licensing in a hybrid world, finishing with her ever popular session on Office 365 and Azure licensing. You can participate for just £240 and, because it's run as part of the ITAM Conference 2016, you can attend other licensing and SAM related sessions over 9/10 June too.

Music City, USA was my home for 3 nights as I trained a fantastic group of reps on Microsoft Volume Licensing programs, Office 365 E5, Windows 10 and Azure. The combination of Northern + Tennessean accents worked surprisingly well (!) and we spent 2 great days learning about licensing, positioning and selling some of the key parts of the Microsoft product stack. As well as being enthusiastic trainees, I have to compliment Nashville on its food – burgers, fried chicken, mac & cheese, pie (I did have some fruit & veg too,…
I spent a couple of days in Dublin, training new hires on an intro to volume licensing programs as well as getting started in licensing and selling Office 365 & Azure. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to go into the city centre so I have yet to experience Dublin “proper”, I did however discover a great local beer called “The 5 Lamps” :-)
