Software is an essential tool for most businesses, but purchasing it can be confusing. This is partly because you are not buying the program itself, and you do not actually own it. Instead, you buy a software license. Software licensing gives you the right to use the program.
The Software Licensing Checklist answers many of the key questions that businesses face in acquiring software. Some of the key software licensing issues covered by the checklist include:
| • | What are your choices with volume software licensing? |
| • | What should you consider when you look for a reseller? |
| • | What can a Microsoft Certified Partner help you accomplish? |
| • | How do you know if your software is legally licensed? |
