We've all been there... First thing in the morning on the way to work; you stop by your favorite local coffee stop to get your morning caffeine fix. The difference between pre and post coffee is like night and day. Now what if you could give your business that same "kick" to jumpstart it using leading-edge technology? Plus, imagine having that leading-edge technology for LESS than that daily "cup of joe" and with a whole lot MORE power and kick to get your business running! Well now you can.

Below is a list of just some of the core Microsoft technologies, small businesses with as few as two computers can take advantage of these to help run their businesses at substantial savings (less than your daily "cup of joe") while also providing access to the most current software versions available both now, and in the future.

1. This is a purchase of the software licenses, not a lease or rental.

2) What is the difference between the up-front payment and spread payments options?

1. No, payments are made in three equal annual payments. The price per day is calculated by dividing the annual payment amount by number of days in the year.

4) Do the licenses expire at some point in time?

1. No. These are perpetual licenses, meaning upon payment in full for the licenses, you own the licenses and can continue to use them for as long as you like. The Software Assurance benefits included with your licenses do have a three year term, which can be renewed in additional three year increments upon expiration.
