Can you help me with my software licensing question?

So I have a hosting business and I tired of paying M$ an up front payment for Windows Server Web 2008, it screws up the cashflow something fierce. Is there a monthly service out there, I know SPLA is out there but I didn't see any monthly options. Aparently also M$ will not allow me to do Volume Licensing because I provide hosting to the public. Ideas?

Maybe I'm not understanding what it is you're "hosting" or you're misunderstanding the SPLA program. What is it exactly that you're "hosting".

  • This is the way to go. From the link above: "Microsoft SPLA is the only Microsoft Volume Licensing program that allows Microsoft products to be used for commercial hosting." – Cypher Sep 25 '10 at 17:19

Look closer at SPLA:

Cash Flow Management: With SPLA, you have minimal start-up costs, since you only pay for licenses based on what you make available to provide services each month
