SPLA MANAGED DESKTOP

SPLA Managed Desktop Option

• The SPLA Managed Desktop option allows Microsoft partners to provide managed services on customer premises and with local installed Microsoft licenses on the customers’ Desktop or Laptop

• This option also gives the partner the opportunity to rent besides Office, Visio, Project applications also the desktop operating system Windows Vista Business (N) Upgrade on the Desktop and / or Laptop it self

• Requirements:– The Managed Desktop option requires the services provider to own

and manage the hardware devices that are installed at the end customer site.  It is not possible for the end customer to own the device.  This is because of the potential risk for unlicensed software to remain on the desktops should the end customer and the services providers sever their business relationship

– When the partner purchases the PC it needs to be preinstalled with Windows OEM licenses of either:

• Windows 2000 Professional,• Windows XP Professional or• Windows Vista Business

Licensing SPLA Managed Desktop

• The Managed Desktop option overrides anything to the contrary in the OEM EULA that says you cannot rent, loan, lease or lend.  – What that means is that if you acquire Windows Vista under SPLA,

then you can provide it on devices that you then make available to your customers on rental, host or subscription basis. 

– It does require you to report and pay for a monthly license for Windows Vista Business under SPLA for these devices

– The license fee includes the right to rent / lease the software and the right to upgrade the underlying OEM Windows Operating System to Windows Vista Business

• Pricing: Normal SPLA pricing per user / month for Office, Visio, Project (see SPLA price list) – Examples:

• Office 2007 Professional Plus: $13.23 per month• Project 2007 Standard: $13.35 per month

• Separate pricing for Windows Vista Business: $6.72 per month• Windows Vista Business media cost: $20.00

• Special academic pricing (for schools, universities etc.) is available

TCO Sample Calculation

• Scenario: TCO of an advanced business Desktop PC (36 months renting term)

• Hardware Cost:– Dell VostroTM 400 ($ 509.00 / 36) $ 14.14

(Windows Vista Business OEM included)

• License Cost:– Windows Vista Business $ 6.72– Office 2007 Std. $ 13.23-----------------------------------------------------------------------------– Total per PC per month $ 34.09– Total per PC (36 months) $ 1,227.24
