Microsoft Licensing Agreements for Business – Optimise your IT costs
Does your business rent or buy its Microsoft licenses? The right licensing agreement ensures that you only pay for what you actually need – while employees have access to the latest tools in the office, at home, and on the go.
At VK DATA, we guide you through the jungle of Microsoft licensing models, so you achieve maximum flexibility and avoid unforeseen IT expenses.
Full scalability: Adjust the number of licenses continuously in line with the company's needs.
Financial overview: Spread costs and maintain liquidity.
Extended flexibility: Use the licenses on both work and home PCs.
Rent Microsoft licenses – Full flexibility without heavy startup costs
Why choose a rental agreement for the business?
- Dynamic scalability: Adjust the number of licenses once a year. Adapt capacity if the number of employees changes, so you never pay for unused licenses.
- Always the latest versions: Get automatic access to upgrades without extra cost, so everyone in the company works on the same updated platform.
- Flexible workplace: The licenses include usage rights for employees' home PCs, ensuring seamless hybrid and remote work.
- Competitive start-up discounts: Get up to 50% off the first year's rental if you are already using a valid or previous version of the software.
A rental agreement is the ideal solution for growth companies and organisations that want predictable monthly or annual operating costs as well as maximum data security.
Buy Microsoft licenses – Permanent ownership for stable needs
When is purchasing licenses the right strategy?
- Targeted allocation: Perfect if only a few employees or specialised workstations need specific Microsoft programs.
- One-time investment: You pay for the license once and own the right to use the current version indefinitely.
- Price certainty: You achieve fixed price predictability without monthly subscription increases.
Note: With pure license purchases, automatic upgrades to future versions are not included by default. VK DATA helps you assess whether buying or renting is more cost-effective in relation to your IT lifecycle.
