Plan and buy Microsoft and business software licences alongside your hardware. Tell us how many users, devices and servers you run, and we will help you choose a licensing model that fits the way you work.
Most businesses need an operating system licence for every computer and server, productivity software for staff, and licences for any specialist applications, security tools and backup software. Server workloads add further requirements, such as client access licences for connecting users or devices. The correct combination depends on user count, device count and how the software is deployed.
Licensing is easiest when planned together with the hardware, so that operating system editions, server core counts and user numbers match the equipment you are buying.
01Software
Windows 11 Pro is the usual edition for business PCs and laptops because it supports domain join, group policy and disk encryption features that Home editions lack. Confirm the edition on every device in your quotation. See our business laptops for corporate procurement.
Microsoft 365 is offered as subscription plans that combine desktop apps, email, file storage and collaboration tools, billed per user. Plans differ in which apps and security features they include, so compare them against your actual needs. Some organizations prefer perpetual Office licences, which are bought once for a specific version and do not include ongoing cloud services.
Windows Server is licensed by processor core, with minimum core counts per server, and users or devices that connect to it typically need client access licences (CALs). Virtualization and running multiple virtual machines can change how many licences you require, so licensing should be reviewed before deciding on server hardware. See our server supplier solutions.
Database platforms, security software and backup tools each have their own licensing models, commonly per user, per device, per server or per core. Tell us what you already use and we will help you compare options.
Endpoint management, IT service management and monitoring tools are licensed separately. See our ManageEngine solutions.

03Compliance
Using unlicensed or improperly licensed software exposes an organization to security risks, missed updates, audit and legal exposure, and vendor support problems. Genuine licences ensure updates, support eligibility and clear compliance records. Keep purchase documentation and licence records for every product.
