Software services
For service providers, software services are online services that they provide to their customers to make licensed
products available to them. These software services display, run, access, or otherwise interact with Microsoft
licensed products. Service Providers provide software services from one or more data centers through the
Internet, a telephony network, or a private network on a rental, subscription, or services basis. The Services
Provider License Agreement makes offering software services easier because the service provider is the licensee,
not the customer.
Program benefits
The Services Provider License Agreement offers the following benefits:
•
Deliver a customized service.
Get the flexibility to deliver tailored IT services to customers through a
dedicated or shared hosting environment. Increase the value of services by managing software use rights for
customers.
•
Pay as you go with no up-front costs.
Pay only for the products that are made available to customers the
previous month. There are no start-up costs, monthly sales requirements, or long-term commitments.
•

platform. Download products at no charge through the Volume Licensing Service Center instead of ordering

business model.
