Hi All. My name is Adam Levithan. I'm a recent MVP in Office Services and Servers and I've been working with Public Sector, Local/State Government customers for over 10 years. I'm located in the center of the public sector, Washington DC and hear a lot of the opportunities with transitioning between versions of products, and certainly to the cloud. What are some key questions you have?
Windows Server CAL rights M365 G3
This resource shows that Windows Server CAL rights are included in M365 E3 licenses. https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/product/CALandMLEquivalencyLicenses/ Is it safe to say that the M365 G3 license includes the Server CAL rights as well? We have reviewed the government plan service descriptions as well as the Product Terms (but there is no entry for GCC). Could someone please direct me to a resource? Thank you.
Microsoft Reseller Authorization Number
We are Partners with Microsoft, we have MPN ID, CSP, MAP, everything. We need a Microsoft authorization number to resell the Microsoft products in Government-E-Marketplace. From Where and how can we get the code? We tried connecting with Microsoft Support through ticket, calls, mails, and partner support through mail, not helpful at all. Any Leads/Microsoft Partner Support Contact Number would be helpful. Thank you.
VDA Rights in a Microsoft G3 License via a CSP Subscription
If a customer has Microsoft G3 licenses in a GCC (government tenant) sold through a CSP Agreement, do they have on-premises VDA rights? The Windows Enterprise component of the Microsoft G3 is not available today when purchased through CSP, however I am wondering if they would still get on-premises VDA rights since they are paying for this functionality. In the commercial equivalent (the Microsoft E3), the VDA rights are included for onprem.Public sector - Microsoft Ignite Sessions
