GoIWx helps your organization with Microsoft licenses in many ways. We can accept your software licence keys and manage your titles or can offer you the Microsoft SPLA model. We have outlined the two models below.

The Microsoft Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA)
The Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) enables service providers and ISVs with a hosted offering to license Microsoft products on a monthly basis to provide services and hosted applications to their end customers.

Benefits of the Program
This licensing program is designed based on direct feedback from our Service Provider partners:

• Most Current Product Versions: With SPLA, service providers have access to the most current versions of the products available in the Program for one simple monthly price.
  
• Flexible Cost Structure: The SPLA offers a monthly usage-based cost. Therefore customers pay only for what was made available the previous month.
  
• Pricing Stability: SPLA price changes (if any) will only occur on an annual basis in January.
• Use Rights Protection: The Service Provider Use Rights (SPUR) document details all product use rights for this program. Product use rights are specific to each version and will not change for the duration of the program.
  
• Cash Flow Management: With SPLA, service providers have near zero start-up costs, since they only pay for licenses based on what they made available to provide services each month.
  
• Academic SKUs: Academic pricing on selected server products is available when service providers deploy services to Qualified Education Customers.
  
• Worldwide Distribution: You can use Microsoft software products to sell your services to customers in any part of the world, regardless of your location.
