Definition
The Server and Cloud Enrollment is an enrollment under the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that enables you to commit to one or more key server and cloud technologies from Microsoft. In exchange, you get the best pricing and terms, plus other benefits such as cloud-optimized licensing options and simplified license management.
Commercial rules
To enroll, you must make an installed-base commitment to one or more of the four Server and Cloud Enrollment components, meaning full Software Assurance coverage across the installed base of that component. For the Core Infrastructure component, you commit to full System Center coverage on the Windows Server installed base through the Core Infrastructure Suites (CIS). Microsoft Azure is automatically available when enrolling in any of the other three components, and it can also be licensed standalone. Named benefit: application license mobility to the cloud through Software Assurance. Full Software Assurance benefits for all deployed licenses, including new version rights. Enrollment for Application Platform (EAP) and Enrollment for Core Infrastructure (ECI) have been replaced by the Server and Cloud Enrollment.
Applies to
Key server and cloud technologies under an Enterprise Agreement as named (including Azure when enrolled in other SCE components, or Azure standalone).
