The licence ledger
IllustrativeThe commercial shape of a Microsoft estate, as a buyer reads it
- Basis of charge
- Per user, per environment, per add-on. Headcount is the meter, not usage.
- Discount condition
- Conditional on term length and on committing across licence, cloud and support together.
- Add-on structure
- Each assistant, each premium connector and each security tier prices separately on top of the base seat.
- On exit
- Apps, flows and the data model sit inside the vendor's platform — not in an asset you hold.
Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule and your own headcount plan.
