Server City is a proud provider of licensing under Microsoft Service provider Licensing Agreement. As such, all server providers must subscribe to this scheme when providing Microsoft licensing.

Microsoft licensing however can be a notorious minefield, with many options available depending upon your requirement.

Here are a few of the licensing options available to you.

Please feel free to contact us if you have a specific requirement that is not listed here.
