Microsoft Enterprise Agreement – True Up TimingMicrosoft Enterprise Agreement • October 25th, 2011
The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) provides large organizations with significant licensing and administrative cost savings over traditional off‐the‐shelf or OEM licenses. Under an EA, a company that has 250 or more desktops can license a standard image (or images, if you know what to ask for), that includes an operating system and productivity suite for every computer in the organization as well as server operating systems, databases, and other software platforms. One of the primary, administrative cost savings under an EA is the yearly true‐up process for purchasing new licenses. The true‐up process is intended to make it easy to deploy new software over the course of a year without the burden of purchasing the software as it is installed. However, there are differences in the timing of the true up that can complicate the process somewhat.
