Microsoft SPLA Pricing

SPLA pricing is able to as a concept, involve both license costs per license and end customer pricing that all are briefly described in the text below.

License cost per license

The most common method to get SPLA pricing is contacting a local distributor, named a SPLA reseller (or SPLAr). Of course, Microsoft has a list of SPLA resellers. Getting access to pricelist information without a signed SPLA Agreement is not possible and if you are new to SPLA and would like to learn more you are able to go to the official site of Microsoft.

Changes to pricing – from Microsoft

You have to know that Microsoft can only increase prices once each year in January (or any time when the price change is used to offset exchange rate fluctuations for prices in currency other than US dollars). SPLA pricing is able to be decreased at any time.

Pricing for historic SKUs

If a SKU is retired from the pricelist, you can still order licenses under this SKU, under a few circumstances:

• You are only able to order retired SKUs which has been active during the SPLA agreement period
• You will need to have a continuous ordering history for the SKU since prior to the retirement of the SKU
• The SKU should be applicable to the software in use and the license rules related to the software to be covered.

For note: The price for the retired SKU is in most cases the last official list price.

End customer license costs

Usually, the specific license cost is irrelevant to end customers, as they have bought a service containing much more than just a license. The service bundles Support, Hardware, Maintenance, maybe consultancy and not least licenses into one price for your customer.

In some cases, the end customer is able to bring their own licenses with SA (Software Assurance). If you are able to manage those different licensing scenarios your value to the customer is increased, as this is able to lower the cost for your customer. Also, those licenses can pose a risk as without proper management you are able to end up with a compliance issue easily.

License Mobility

For server products this is named License Mobility under that the end customer is able to assign license entitlements to be used in third party data centers, like Cloud deployments or hosting.

SALSA (SAL for SA)

For Access Licenses the end customer will be able to get the right to use specific SKUs for selected SALs (Subscriber Access License) under the SPLA agreement. This requirement is that the end customer has active SA for the related Client Access License on their agreement. The SALSA (SAL for SA) is about 10 % of the regular SAL, so this is able to be an attractive option for several, please check the current price list for comparing prices.
