If you’re a customer with Software Assurance and you want to assign licences to a Service Provider’s shared hardware then it’s not just a matter of making a note in your SAM database – there’s a whole process to go through. This is centred around completing the “License Verification Form” and there’s a guide for customers that explains all. This guide is recently updated – while there are no significant changes to the content you’ll know you’ve got the updated one if it’s got a (new) purple cover. http://bit.ly/1o9hNAQ.
