Thanks Wayne so would say ovp with as over 3 years is better value than Ovs over three years and then of course for a long time unless you buy out the Ovs?<br />

I think it might depend on your specific circumstances (and what country etc, as UK costs are different to other countries I do know), but I have always opted for the actual purchase over the subscription as I guess that would normally work out cheaper over a longer term and you keep using those products.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I know this is a bit of an open question but I am trying to gauge people's opinion on what type of licensing model suits best. I have about 100 users on the network and I need to do a re fresh so around 5 windows server 2008 and I'm thinking 100 core cals. 1 new exchange server and around 30 office upgrades to run exchange the rest would already be office 2007 and capable of running exchange 2010.<br />
<br />
Typically what have found the best value and simplest way to do something like this?<br />
<br />
Thanks
