Avoid these 3 costly mistakes when purchasing Microsoft software

Personal advice from professionals

Mistake #1

Purchasing from unreliable suppliers on the internet

Time constraints and budget pressures tempt you to quickly click on an advertisement and choose the cheapest product.

But beware, you receive:

  • No proof of license origins
  • No legal certainty in case of an audit
The solution

Clarify which proofs you receive before purchasing.

A download link, activation key, and invoice are not sufficient for used software.

Mistake #2

No clarity about licensing

Lack of clarity about the actual licensing needs can result in two worst cases:

  • Under-licensing: Too few licenses were purchased.
  • Over-licensing: Too many licenses are being bought.

Both scenarios can become extremely costly for your company, whether through penalties or budget waste.

The solution

Get advice on actual needs before purchasing.

Contact a Microsoft licensing expert if you are not sure.

Mistake #3

Hasty transition to the Microsoft Cloud

The pressure to work innovatively and future-oriented is increasing and weighing on you. But beware, there are hidden costs in cloud usage.

  • Monthly software fees can quickly become very high.
  • Cloud usage fees are very nontransparent and confusing.
The solution

Carefully consider which products you really want to have in the cloud!

Often, a balanced mix of perpetual licenses and subscriptions is the best choice!

Cost savings with maximum legal security for your company

Legal security

liop® offers the most transparent license transfer process in the used software market by providing you, as the responsible acting company, with the following documents with each used software order:

License agreement
Invoice
License acquisition chain
Destruction declaration
Security
Documents of the license agreement under which the licenses were originally acquired.
Security
Invoice(s) of the original purchase
Security
License acquisition chain, if the licenses were acquired with Software Assurance
Security
Destruction declaration signed by the original owner

Recognize your advantages.

What are the specific differences?

On the Internet, product keys are often sold without associated usage rights. You should definitely not use these in your company, as high penalties may be imposed in the event of an audit.
