Step 1: Calculate the number of licenses your company needs
You (or your organization's IT department) can determine your company's licensing needs
simply by taking inventory. To get started, count and record:
| • |
The number of servers in your organization. |
| • |
The number of processors (CPUs) in each server. |
| • |
The number of desktops in your organization. |
| • |
The number of qualifying underlying operating system licenses on
desktops within your organization. |
This information is the key to determining the best licensing options for your company.
Record it and keep it with you throughout the volume licensing process.
