Microsoft's New Licensing Still Vague, 'Next Gen' Licensing May Significantly Raise Costs; Microsoft may have some unpleasant surprises for organizations that license its software, starting next year. "The actual plans aren't fully described, even by Microsoft, but organizations specialized in translating the company's complex licensing offerings are beginning to pipe up this week. So far, Microsoft has announced two broad licensing changes to come next year, although they may be available to some degree today. One of those changes is the new Server and Cloud Enrollment, which is an Enterprise Agreement type of contract requiring Software Assurance (SA) coverage across infrastructure that eventually will replace Microsoft's existing Enrollment for Application Platform (EAP) and Enrollment for Core Infrastructure (ECI) offerings. The other offering is called the "Microsoft Products and Services Agreement," or MPSA." Source: Redmondmag>>>>>
