Licensing Books on Kindle are fab - you can read them on a variety of devices, you can search for what you want really easily, and you can highlight text and make your own notes - as you can see in our picture. You can find most of our licensing books on Amazon - just go to your local Amazon site and search for "Lessons in Licensing".

Get Licensing Ready is great for testing your knowledge of Microsoft licensing and there are some excellent resources for teaching you the licensing too. We've just uploaded the new video for SQL Server 2016 licensing, so if you fancy learning something new today, head on over to http://getlicensingready.com.

Choose your favourite Licensing School slide! Rich, Simon, Paul and Louise have all chosen their favourites which you can see below.   Create your own user feedback survey

Have we left the best to last in our feature on our favourite licensing slides? This is Louise's choice which explains the licensing of Microsoft VDI. You need to see the animations to make the travels of Mrs Lime come to life - take a look here: https://youtu.be/UhAArTr4ILw. How will you vote tomorrow?

So, today's Favourite Slide is chosen by Paul. We call it "the blocky diagram" and it's incredibly useful when you're trying to transition from an on-premises licensing position in an EA to one of the gazillion cloud licensing options. Will this be the one you vote for on Friday?

Today it's Simon's turn to pick a favourite Licensing School slide and he's gone for this one - a great reference to see what's in the Office 365 plans and EMS, as well as their on-premises equivalents and the corresponding dual-access rights. Would this one make your short list of favourite slides?

Natasha at the Microsoft UK Library is pleased to take delivery of a new set of Licensing School books for her shelves! If you need your very own copy, then head over to our shop: http://bit.ly/2asn7ST.

We create some great slides here at Licensing School and we've all got our favourites… But which is the best slide of them all? We want your votes! Every day this week one of us will be putting forward our favourite slide for your consideration - and when all slides have been revealed, we'll be having a vote via our Common Room blog. So, first up is Rich with our slide which allows you to easily compare and contrast all of the Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. Is this one of your favourites too?

None of us want to get caught out by a licensing rule we didn't know about. Our Little Black book of Licensing Gotchas details ten harder-than-average-to-license scenarios that are definitely worth taking a look at.
