Why must a lawyer be hired to understand Microsoft’s licensing? No matter how much I deal with MS licensing, my brain will not fathom its magnitude. I stand before it as if in the presence of something monumental, but I do not know if it is a construct of genius or stupidity. Combine Microsoft’s general licensing complexity with its requirements on Techsoup and I’m left with IBS (info). If there is a certified Microsoft Licensing Decryptor (that really needs to be a MS certificate), please assist me.
I get that along with the purchase of a Microsoft server operating system I need a server license for each additional server and CALS. How does this work on Techsoup (site)? Do the CALs and Server license count as one additional purchase in the allocated six or not? And how does this work with Office on Techsoup? Am I better off getting non-profit pricing through a vendor?
WTF Billy?! I don’t benefit from any of this, why make me suffer? Like you, I’m trying to do some good too.
