Microsoft SPLA Licensing

Hosters and Service Providers - did you know that if you have licensed your commercial servers for Microsoft Windows and/or SQL using a Full Packaged Product, Select or Open Agreement, you are in breach of your Microsoft End User License Agreement?

The only licensing model that is appropriate in a hosting scenario is the Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA). See SPLA FAQs (below) for answers to common questions.

As the premier Designated Microsoft SPLA Reseller in Australia and South East Asia, NewLease can help service providers acquire SPLA simply and easily.

"NewLease gives us the ability to keep our capital costs to a minimum, leaving us with more cash to grow our business. Being a small software development company our Microsoft software tools were almost unaffordable.

NewLease tailored a monthly plan to fit our requirements."
