Designing and Providing Microsoft Licensing Solutions to Large Organizations — Question 10

A customer wants to buy 300 Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E1 User Subscription Licenses (USLs) and 300 Office 365 Enterprise E3 USLs for services. The licenses will be managed by an experienced IT team.
The customer expects to add licenses for additional users during the next two to four years. The customer wants a guarantee that the purchase price of the licenses will remain the same as the current prices throughout the four-year period.
According to the customer's internal purchasing process, payment for the services must be upfront and on a quarterly or annual basis.

Answer options

• A. a Microsoft Products and Services Agreement (MPSA)
• B. the Microsoft website
• C. the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program
• D. an Enterprise Agreement (EA)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, an Enterprise Agreement (EA), as it allows for the purchasing of licenses with price guarantees over multiple years. Options A and C do not provide the same level of pricing stability or upfront payment terms that the customer requires, while option B is not a purchasing mechanism.
