- smcl 5y agoInteresting, am I reading it right that this ... “ 4x Microsoft Identity Manager - 1 User CAL - Open Business (NK7-00031)” ... means to get a valid single-user LTSC license you need four Identity Manager licenses? That’s odd
- reincarnate0x14 5y agoMicrosoft licensing is such a byzantine hellscape that this assuredly is more complicated than can be easily summarized, but pretty much any of their resellers do have VL upgrade options. I don't normally like linking to vendors as it's not my job to drive them sales, but one of the top links off DDG: https://softwaremedia.com/shop/microsoft-windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-upgrade-license-1-license-volume/ https://softwaremedia.com/shop/microsoft-windows-10-enterpri...
