Microsoft Licensing Information
If you have a Managed Services Plan with Colton Computers, we also manage your Microsoft licensing. Please note that Microsoft licensing is based on an annual commitment unless month to month licensing is purchase. Cancellation of any users on annual licensing prior to the renewal date will act as a spare licensing for the duration of the year.
Licensing can be transferred to the new staff member or act as a spare which can be used at any time throughout the duration of the contract, but licensing cannot be removed during this period.
