MAT Central Services MS Licensing question

[fiza]

So we are a small MAT. Some staff have now gone to work for "Central Services" so work for the MAT and not the School. Where do we stand regarding MS licences for any devices we purchased for these staff?

I mean I guess it depends exactly how you're structured and licensed.

 

But by default any FTE count style license, is based on the time it's renewed, so even if you sent 1000 staff over to another side of the business, you're licensed until the FTE renewal etc.

 

So if you have a separate license covering central, vs your own school, effectively next renewal they just take a chunk off you

 

Edit - Obviously long term wise I guess it depends if you're going to merge all under one license too? Or are you still fairly split?

Still split, each school does their own licencing but Central Services is a new entity.
