(non-core) SA only• System Center Datacenter and
Standard Edition (for managing non-Windows Server deployments)

How to establish the customer footprintBaseline licenses must be identified for all affiliates being included in the SCE
1. 3.2.
• Any existing licenses deployed with continuous SA (across all enrollments)
• Any existing licenses deployed without continuous SA
• New licenses that are being purchased
• Renew SA for existing license current with SA
• For existing licenses without SA:
o Add subscription SKUs
Oro Add L&SA at
signing
• All baseline licenses for Windows Server must be covered with System Center
• Coverage achieved through adding CIS SKUs
• “CIS without” SKUs are available when Windows Server or System Center SA is current

Customers can purchase subscriptions to cover licenses without continuous Software Assurance at signing or for new deployments
Subscription provides flexibility through:
• Lower upfront costs when signing a SCE
• More purchasing options for new units
• Ability to reduce licenses annually when retiring workloads, consolidating or migrating to the cloud
Subscription SKUs will be sold via Monthly Subscription Units (MSUs)
Subscription in SCE
13
*Subscription pricing percentages are set based on non-SCE discounted licenses (standard waterfall discounts apply). Visual Studio will be priced at 46% of a license.
Pricing
MSUs allow customers to pay for each month deployed and will be priced at 35.5% of the license only price*
Minimums
Customers must commit to a minimum of 12 months
Reductions
Customers can reduce subscription units no longer being used for deployed workloads at each anniversary date
Buyouts
If customers do not renew or wish to own, buyout pricing will be set at year 3 true up pricing

Moving IT workloads to the cloud
Envision solutions, plan on-premises, hybrid, or cloud deployments with planning services
License mobility through SA allows you to deploy certain application software on premises or in the cloud without additional licensing
Support hybrid environments, enable cloud services with new products versions
21
*Customers who opt in to unlimited support lose the ability to convert incidents (earned through SA on SCE products) to premier hours**Minimum is for each component enrolled and the actual dollar amount varies by geography
Unlimited problem resolution support*Unlimited support for customers as they deploy on Microsoft’s server & cloud technologies
Opt-in SA benefit only available through the SCE*
Unlimited premier reactive support incidents for core infrastructure and application platform components
Available to our largest customers with premier services agreements (minimum SA spend of $250,000 per year**)

• Slightly higher discounts on standard editions
• 5% discount • Incremental 5% renewal discount
• Subscription pricing • Subscription pricing will be 42% higher than SA only

SCE discount changes for EAP customers
26
EAP product edition availability changes
• SQL Server Enterprise Edition Server is no longer available for new purchases
• These are not required in baseline requirements
• Customers can renew SA on perpetual licenses in additional products
• Not available under subscription
27
This edition was retired with the launch of SQL Server 2012, however, customers should renew SA to:
• Access future releases of SQL Server & other SA benefits
• Maintain license mobility for virtual environments
If SA is not renewed, it cannot be attached later
• New licenses available through additional products
• Maintaining SA ensures customers can consume MSDN benefits; access latest versions of VS, TFS and MSDN software
Each product has unique Software Assurance value
28
• Buyout provides lowest cost for ownershipo Highly discounted license; SA at 5%
discount in SCEo SQL Processor buyouts get core grants
• SQL Server Enterprise Edition (non-core)o Buyout and renew SA (in add’l products)o Or subscribe to core licenses
Options for customers with deferred licenses
• Reduce short term costs by avoiding the EAP buyout
• Flexibility to reduce these licenses annually

As customers renew into the SCE, excess license grants may help them meet SCE requirements
Renewing SA on these licenses may result in excess grants:
• Windows Server Enterprise Edition
• System Center Enterprise Edition
• System Center components
• CIS Standard Edition & Enterprise Edition
Customers with these licenses will need extra consideration at renewal
Excess license grants

Using Microsoft Payment Solutions
51
Microsoft Payment Solutions helps customers expand their IT purchasing power and improve cash flow with an easy, flexible and affordable payment plan aligned to their budgetManage payment timing Manage cash flow strategically
Close budget gaps Align payment with use
Microsoft Payment Solutions is available in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Brazil For informational purposes only.

Deferred payment option: Customer can defer making SCE payments for up to six months when there is an immediate need but budget isn’t available till the next fiscal year$0
Ramped payment option: Customer can pay less in the near term and then increases payments in later periods to match to their return of SCE investment or when more funds are available
Monthly/quarterly payment option: Customer can spread the annual SCE expense including any true-ups over the rest of the contract term with equal, predictable payments
Microsoft Payment SolutionsEasing the transition from ECI and EAP to SCE
52
Problem
Flexible payment solutions
Scenarios
For some customer scenarios, signing a SCE will increase costs due to the installed base coverage requirements
• Option 1: Customers with budget constraints can defer making payments until their next fiscal year starts
• Option 2: Customers with budget constraints can ramp their payments over time, instead of making three equal payments each year
• Option 3: Customers who want to manage their cash flow can make equal monthly or quarterly payments over the term or arrange monthly payment for subscriptions. (annual subscription commitment is still required)
• Installed base coverage: Customer faces an incremental upfront cost to meet SCE installed base requirements for Software Assurance
• Cover Windows Server with System Center: Customer must purchase additional System Center licenses to cover the entire Windows Server deployment
• Deferred licenses in EAP Renewals: Customer has a large amount of deferred Licenses in their EAP and will need to buyout or renew into subscription
• Subscription in the SCE: Customer must pay the annual subscription cost upfront each year
Flexible options manage payment challenges
