Microsoft Customer Agreement
WHY CHOOSE MCA
Why choose the Microsoft Customer Agreement?
The Microsoft Customer Agreement is built for cloud services and is unlike a traditional licensing agreement in several ways:
It's simple
The agreement is a simple, short document that’s accepted and stored online.
It's flexible
Instead of a complex agreement, the MCA gives you the flexibility to buy new products and services as your needs change.
It doesn't expire
Traditional volume licensing agreements—such as the Enterprise Agreement—typically expire in three years. The MCA never expires.
