SPLA FAQ
SPLA Questions and Answers
Quick answers to the most common Microsoft SPLA questions, including reporting, pricing, and compliance.
What is a Microsoft SPLA agreement?
Microsoft SPLA (Services Provider License Agreement) is a Microsoft licensing program that lets service providers and ISVs license eligible Microsoft products on a monthly basis to provide software services to end users. It is designed for hosting and service delivery, where the service provider remains the licensee. Technolutions can help you confirm if SPLA fits your business model and set up the correct reporting and compliance process.
Does Microsoft have an office in South Africa?
Yes. Microsoft has a local presence in South Africa, including a Microsoft campus in Johannesburg referenced in official government communications. If you need help aligning Microsoft licensing and hosting choices for your region and customers, Technolutions can advise on the right approach.
Is SPLA licensing going away?
SPLA is not simply disappearing, but Microsoft has introduced restrictions that affect how SPLA can be used with certain public cloud providers. Microsoft’s SPLA guidance notes that from October 2025, Data Center Providers and Outsourcing Companies exclude Listed Providers, which changes what is compliant on those platforms. Technolutions can help you assess your hosting setup and choose a compliant path forward.
Where can I find SPLA license keys?
SPLA software downloads and related access are typically handled through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) via your SPLA agreement and reseller. If you are unsure where to access downloads or keys, Technolutions can help you verify your reseller setup and get the correct licensing access in place.
