The Common Room

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!

Special show offers for attendees of the ITAM Conference which takes place next week at Olympia! We have a number of tickets available at just £240 and, not only that, you'll also get a special add-on package too: a voucher for £250 off your first consultancy engagement with us, free access to a Licensing School Online course of your choice, and a copy of our Windows Server Essential Licensing Questions book, worth £320 in total! Book your ticket here: http://bit.ly/20pdcM3.

Are you signed up to our School Report? It's a great way to get a summary of all the changes in Microsoft licensing that have happened over the last couple of weeks. They come out fortnightly so sign up now and get the best of the licensing news delivered straight to your Inbox: http://bit.ly/1Zb4T6i.

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. Purchase your ticket here: http://bit.ly/20pdcM3.

Have you been on one of our training courses? If you have, then we'd love to include a quote from you about how you found it. If you want your name in lights (well, not literally) on our new website then please email your comments to info@licensingschool.co.uk. Thank you!

The British Library confirms that it's received copies of all our books! If someone else has already borrowed the book when you arrive at the library, don't worry - you can buy your very own copy at Amazon throughout the world - just search for Lessons in Licensing 🙂

It's photoshoot day for the Licensing School staff with the lovely and talented Harry Page. First volunteer warming up smiling muscles...
