Microsoft -- Enterprise Agreement/Software Assurance

Prior management purchased an Enterprise Agreement/Software Assurance for 300 Office and Windows licenses.

I only used 50 of them.

How can I get a refund or resell these since my Microsoft rep acts like he cannot help ?

We already paid for 2 of the 3 year term.

I tried to get our of paying for year #3 since the manager that signed is gone and just get 2/3rd of my benefits (i.e. 200 of my 300 licenses), but Microsoft acts like that is also not doable, asking me to pay year #3.

Has anyone had any luck getting out of year #3 and getting 2/3rd of the benefits ?
Microsoft is not known for letting Enterprises reduce their obligations under a signed agreement.    I am not sure why you are thinking they may do so.....

250 is also the minimum number of desktops to signup for EA.

If only 200 were being signed up, the organization wouldn't be eligible for an Enterprise licensing arrangement in the first place.
Just trying to find a way to avoid paying for year #3 and still get 2/3rds of the licenses.

I get your points, just trying to find some possible options.
