Recently, Microsoft's disclosed a fresh approach to buying the SQL Server and Windows Server. It is a subscription offer which is tied to the Azure.

However, the new and fresh offer is fastened to the Azure Reserved Instances plan that was announced by the Redmond last year, under that plan you can easily pay up-front for one or three years of the Azure servers. On 10 July, the Reserved Instances are breathing and alive.

Some are the new subscriptions plans that fine folk at the Licensing School rate, it is one of the most cost-effective ways to provide license expected Windows and SQL Server workloads in Azure.

Considerably, the subs will loom with Azure Hybrid Benefits as it is a licensing squeeze which allowed the Software Assurance signatories to use their licenses on-prem or might be in Azure, thus by saving a bit of dosh rather. The Hybrid Benefit has been provided beyond Software Assurance Deals first time, by bringing almost the same benefits to the subs.

However, it is not very tough to look on why the Microsoft has expanded the benefits: and all the new subs are for the one or three years with the cash up front.

Moreover, the subs have sold by the Redmond's Cloud Solution Providers, so every detail is reg-walled for the partners. Though, the Windows Server Standard Core licenses are available in eight-packs, such as Windows Server User and Device CALs and Windows Server RMS User and Device CALs.

The SQL Server subs will almost cover two-core packs for the SQL Server Standard Core and also for the SQL Enterprise Standard Core.

In some other utterances, an offer that will put the cash in pockets of the partner's and also planned that they would sell very hard.

As we already noted that when reporting the release of Reserved Instances, then they will come with a liberal refund scheme which should alleviate the fears of lock-in. But clearly Microsoft is also creating some offers which will make it more likely that you will at least consider its cloud, and if not then hold it enthusiastically.
