ACCESSING SOFTWARE ASSURANCE E-LEARNINGCREATING A WINDOWS LIVE ID
Access to Software Assurance e-learning requires a Windows Live ID, which includes an e -mail
address and password. Establishing a Windows Live ID is easy. When setting up your account, youcan use an existing e-mail address or your corporate e-mail address (check company policies f irst),
or you can create a new Windows Live ID account. If you have a Windows Hotmail, MSN, or
Passport account, you already have a Windows Live ID. A Windows Live ID is required before
proceeding with the activation process. If you already have a Windows Live ID, skip to the
activation section.

ACTIVATIONFIRST-TIME ACCESS TO SOFTWARE ASSURANCE E-LEARNING
If the Software Assurance e-learning benefit has been activated for your organization, your
benefits manager will have access codes and instructions for you to sign in and create a Software
Assurance e-learning account. You can then view and begin using the Software Assurance e-
learning course content.
Software Assurance e-learning courses are organized into three pools, or groups, of courses:
applications, systems, and servers products. Your benefits manager will have a separate code for
each of these pools (dependent on which licenses were acquired from Microsoft) that will allow
you course access.
Five steps are required for first-time access to Software Assurance e-learning courses. Subsequent
access is a simple two-step process.
