AppSense part of the Microsoft SAM Partner
Program

I previously blogged about Microsoft Application Device License Control in SBC, VDI and
Streamed Environments, where I highlighted that Microsoft Applications are in fact licensed on a PER DEVICE basis, and not, a PER USER basis - which may cause issues for many organizations in terms of licensing where by only a certain number of USERS needs access (and therefore perceivable a small number of user licenses) but in order to comply with Microsoft Licensing you must still have a license for EVERY DEVICE in the organization, even if the users of those devices will never run the application in question. Further to this AppSense are recognized by Microsoft as a valid means to control application access at a DEVICE level and are therefore able to reduce device based license requirements. I am pleased to announce that AppSense, in addition to being a Microsoft Gold ISV Partner, the Microsoft System Center Alliance Program and member of the Microsoft High Potential Managed Partner Program, are now also listed as a Microsoft SAM (Software Asset Management) Partner and listed exclusively as a SAM related tool and service on the Microsoft SAM Partner web-pageQuoting the page:
"Today's IT organizations are constantly striving to lower the total cost of ownership of their infrastructure while getting the maximum value from their IT investment. With the onset of multiple delivery technologies, efficient software license management is a key component of today's IT strategy. Microsoft acknowledge AppSense Application Manager as a solution that enterprises could use as part of Software Asset
Management to provide device-based license management in a Windows® Terminal Services, virtual desktop
or virtualized streamed environment." Sam BramwellLicensing, Anti-Piracy and SAM Audience Marketing Manager, Microsoft Limited
To learn more about Microsoft Licensing and how AppSense Application Manager can be used to not only ensure compliance, but also reduce the amount of device licenses required, saving operational costs and providing almost immediate return on investment, please visit our solutions page here
A copy of the Official Microsoft approved whitepaper on use of AppSense for application access and license control in virtual environments can be found here
