MECM licence

Does A3 include a licence for this? Looking to deploy windows 11 this summer, previously been using WDS for windows 10 deployment but know this is not officially supported.

Assuming this is for "Microsoft A3", not "Office A3" then Yes

 

"Config Manager & Config Manager Endpoint Protection & Windows Server CAL Rights" under the Blue section: https://m365maps.com/files/Microsoft-365-Education-A3.htm

Great, thanks. I thought it was. Any idea where I get it from?! (we have Microsoft A3 licences for all staff)

It's just under the Admin Portal for downloads: https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?#/subscriptions/vlnew/downloadsandkeys

 

Microsoft Configuration Manager -> The SQL download should include the built-in activation key, and then download the 2403 version of SCCM

Thanks, that's where I thought it would be but I only have some really old versions of office (2013 being the latest) and windows 7 in there?

If you go up one level, does it show you have an active contract linked? Just wondering if it does it differently if you're on CSP etc

 

Might need to contact MS support to get them to add in there, as we've had to do that before for some KMS keys etc, but as an example we have over 500+ items showing under products (Volume)

Only expired contracts, we purchase through the LA, I'll give them a shout first and see if the reseller needs to do anything if not I'll contact Microsoft. Thanks.
