Virtualization and cloud are on everyone's radar. Numerous vendors offer a wide variety of solutions for virtualized infrastructures or hosted cloud platforms. The connection between these environments plays an important role here. However, in addition to the technical considerations and possibilities of the various solutions, it is also important to keep an eye on the correct licensing. This raises important questions such as:

 
- What needs to be considered when using licenses for virtual systems and what impact do technology changes and mixed operations have on my licensing
- Is there the right license for my virtualization scenarios?
- What do I need to consider if I want to "go to the cloud"?

In this 3-day training, you will learn how to license virtualized Microsoft environments in a legally compliant way. One focus is on the current licensing metrics of Microsoft virtualization products, cloud solutions and cloud services such as Office 365, Azure, etc.. The focus is on common scenarios and numerous practical examples. We are happy to discuss special usage scenarios, also from your company. In the area of cloud solutions and services, knowledge of licensing law is supported with practical exercises.
