• If you buy your licenses via a Microsoft licensed reseller, then talk to them. Their advice should be free as part of their service to you.

    They may not always give you the right advice. However, if you do take their advice and it is wrong at least you have plausible denyabilty. If your reseller is a Microsoft Gold artner then Microsoft accept full liability for any advice they give.

    If you work things out for your self and this does not comply with advice given by your reseller, then do not expect much leeway when you have your Microsoft audit.
