You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Alpine Ski House, a small manufacturer of winter sportswear.
Company Background
Alpine Ski House sells sportswear to outlets in the United States and Canada. Alpine Ski
House has 200 sales representatives.
Network Description
Each sales representative has a portable computer and a handheld device. Alpine Ski
House purchased 100 new portable computers for the sales force less than 60 days ago.
These new computers had Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2003
Professional preinstalled.
The company has 80 desktops in the main office. These desktops are older PCs running
Windows 98 and Office 97 Professional.
Current Licensing Solution
In July 2002, Alpine Ski House purchased licenses and Software Assurance for Windows
98 and Office Professional on the desktops through the Open License program. No upgrades have been installed, due to the hardware constraints of the older desktops.
Business Goals
Alpine Ski House plans to launch an online store to expand its business into the worldwide market.
The company plans to update its server environment with the following software:
Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Microsoft SQL Server 2000, for its online store
The company plans to replace the 100 older portable computers within the next year.
The company wants to continue to increase sales by effectively servicing existing customers and by expanding its customer base without adding employees.
The company president wants to standardize all software on the desktops and the portable computers, but he does not want to spend budget on upgrading the 80 noncritical desktops.
End of repeated scenario
You need to recommend the most appropriate licensing program for Alpine Ski House.
What should you recommend?
You are a licensing specialist. Your customer is Blue Yonder Airlines, a small regional airline company.
Company Background
Blue Yonder Airlines has three locations across the country. Blue Yonder Airlines recently purchased a smaller airline company.
Network Description
Blue Yonder Airlines has three servers, one in each of its three locations. The servers run
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, and Microsoft SQL
Server 7.0. Its three locations contain a total of 120 desktops. Each desktop runs either
Windows 98 or Windows XP Professional and either Microsoft Office 2000 Standard or
Office 2000 Professional.
The smaller company has two locations, two servers running Windows NT Server 4.0, and
50 desktops running Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
Two employees in the Blue Yonder Airlines IT department are responsible for administering and supporting all of the software and hardware for both companies.
Current Licensing Solution
For both companies, software is currently acquired ad hoc from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or by retail purchases.
Business Goals
Management of Blue Yonder Airlines wants to upgrade both companies to the latest version of specialized industry software, which requires Windows 2000 Server, Windows
2000 Professional, Exchange 2000 Server, and SQL Server 2000. The industry software has not yet been approved for compatibility with the latest versions of Microsoft software.
Because Blue Yonder Airlines is experiencing problems in tracking their license purchase history, management wants to conduct an internal audit.
End of repeated scenario

Airlines. Which two factors are influencing the need for a change? (Choose two.)
