Microsoft Software Assurance
What is Software Assurance?
Microsoft Software Assurance is a comprehensive maintenance program
that can help you gain control of your technology strategy, improve
IT staff skills, decrease support spending, and effectively plan for
new software deployments. It isn’t just about buying software; it’s
about getting the most from your investment.
See
Software Assurance Benefits Summary sheet.
Activate and Use Your Microsoft Software Assurance
Training Voucher Benefit!
The Microsoft Software Assurance Training Voucher
(SATV) benefit offers classroom training options to help get your IT
staff up-to-speed or boost their skills and knowledge on the latest
Microsoft operating systems, enterprise-ready applications, and
software development tools. Microsoft Volume License customers with
Software Assurance benefits can use Training Vouchers to access
instructor-led technical training courses and support material at no
additional cost.
Use Training Vouchers to help your organization:
 |
Reduce your overall IT training budget. |
|
|
Build and refresh technical skills. |
|
|
Prepare IT Professionals and Developers for
successful deployments. |
Specifically, Training Vouchers help prepare your IT
staff to:
| 1. |
Efficiently deploy, maintain and support
new technologies. |
| 2. |
Successfully deploy or migrate to Microsoft
Office system or Windows operating system. |
| 3. |
Train more staff members across your IT
organization. |
| 4. |

How it works
Training Vouchers entitle individuals to receive
courses for a specific number of training days which can be applied
to select Official Microsoft Learning Product courses available
worldwide. The number of days awarded varies by product and by the
number of your qualifying licenses. Your Software Assurance Benefits
Administrator assigns Training Vouchers to designated individuals on
the Microsoft Volume
License Services (MVLS) Web site.
