How it works
As a qualifying organization, you can activate your e-learning benefit by using Microsoft Volume License Services (MVLS)—or eOpen if you are an open Software Assurance customer. After you activate your benefits, you will receive an access code that your employees can use to access the secure Microsoft E-Learning site. Your organization will receive one access code for each qualifying Software Assurance license agreement.
Content is available from the Microsoft E-Learning site. You can also download SCORM-compliant content for integration into your own Learning Management System (LMS) from MVLS.
E-Learning course and material updates are added to the Microsoft E-Learning site regularly and will be available to you as they are added. After your agreement has ended, you will no longer have access to the Software Assurance content in Microsoft E-Learning, and you will not be able to download the content from MVLS.
To activate your benefits, visit the MVLS site or talk to your Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR).
