As a member of the Microsoft Partner Network you receive a number of benefits. One of those benefits are a number of software licenses and cloud subscriptions you can use for your business. However, there are some strict conditions and those conditions change from time to time.
To help you as a Microsoft partner being compliant and getting the most out of your MPN membership Quexcel offers a Software Asset Management service specific for Microsoft partners: SAM4Partners.
From the Microsoft MPN Benefits Usage Guide:
Each partner is responsible for tracking the consumption of software and cloud services license entitlement. If a partner organization is selected for a compliance audit, that organization is responsible for presenting records regarding the active program licenses used and compliance to the terms of use.
Don’t get caught by surprise and be prepared. Make use of the Quexcel SAM4Partners service for a compliance audit without any worries.
This is included:
- Discovery and inventory of software and cloud used through our Managed SAM Service
- Inventory of Internal Use Rights and applying terms of use

- Registration of usage and use rights within Managed SAM Service portal (mandatory records)
