All customers using License Mobility through Software Assurance must complete a license verification process and Microsoft will ensure that you have eligible licenses with active Software Assurance. To start the verification process and review additional details, go to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/licensing-programs/software-assurance-license-mobility.aspx.
The License Mobility Verification Form has a section to provide information about the Authorized Mobility Partner. Please use [email protected] as the email address, CenterGrid as the partner name, and www.centergrid.com as the partner website. For further guidance, consult Microsoft’s License Mobility Verification Guide (pdf).
Microsoft will provide confirmation to you and to CenterGrid that you have completed this verification process. You may deploy your application server software prior to the verification process being completed. In fact, you can deploy up to ten days before submitting the form. You are responsible for managing true ups and renewals as required under their agreement.
Once the verification process has completed, please submit a License Mobility Verification Form to CenterGrid.
