Spread Payments
The Spread Payments benefit for Microsoft Software Assurance offers a more flexible way to manage technology expenditures by enabling you to spread payments annually over the duration of your coverage. This benefit helps you reduce initial software expenditures and forecast annual software budget requirements up to three years in advance.
The Spread Payments benefit offers the option of paying for purchases in three equal installments. The first payment is due at the time of purchase, and subsequent payments are due on the anniversary of your contract. For purchases made later during your Software Assurance contract, payment can be split into equal payments, with subsequent payments due on the anniversary of your contract. If your purchase is during the second year of your contract, you can split it into two equal payments. The Spread Payments benefit is not available for purchases made in the last year of your contract.
