Getting software licensing right
Licensing mistakes are expensive — both in wasted spend and audit risk. South African businesses should match licences to actual users, devices and workloads rather than over- or under-buying.
What to consider
- Microsoft 365 — Business Basic, Standard or Premium based on apps and security needs
- Antivirus / EDR — endpoint protection sized per device with central management
- Perpetual vs subscription — cash flow, updates and support trade-offs
- Compliance — keep proof of licence for audits and renewals
Buying software with hardware
Bundling licences with laptop and server rollouts simplifies deployment and invoicing. Request a combined quote so finance gets a single VAT invoice.
