Tell them Vlad sent you and demand they tell you everything you need to know about Microsoft Licensing:

Licensingbootcamp

I’ve got to hand it to Microsoft’s Great South division, they have really been stepping up the community involvement and opening the doors to a lot of the stuff that used to be exclusively available to higher end partners. Here is whats coming for the rest of 2007:

Partner Briefings: All of the registration information appears in the invitation below, but please register today for these half-day events, hosted by our local Greater Southeast team, where you can learn about the latest opportunities you can use as a Microsoft Partner to grow your business.  They’re not specific to Small Business, but I know you’ll find value if you attend, so I hope some of you can attend!

Licensing Bootcamps: This popular series from last year has returned, with 6 events planned between October and December.  If we are coming to a city near you, please attend one of these events, meet the Microsoft team and our distribution partners, and learn how licensing knowledge can help you expand your services business.  Partners that have attended have gotten tremendous value from this event, calling it one of the best readiness offerings we have delivered, so don’t miss it! 

The agenda is as follows:

    • Welcome & Introductions
    • Understand Your Current Knowledge
    • Licensing & SA Benefits
    • Tools & Resources to Help you sell!
    • Vista & Office Changes
    • Workshop / Scenario Training
    • Understand What You Learned
    • Closing – Q&A

These events are free – contact your PCM for an invitation. In the great south thats either Jessica Emmons or Tom Harshbarger, seating is limited, yada, yada, yada. So if you’re not as sharp as you need to be on licensing, this is the place you’ll want to spend half a day at. The events in Florida are on October 31 in Tampa and November 14 in Fort Lauderdale. There are also events in Raleigh, Birmingham, Atlanta and Greensboro.

Now, its not all good news. One unlucky person will be punished by having to carry out a first generation Zune. So bring a dolly just in case, or befriend some coleagues that might help you carry it to the car

P.S. In case you’re seeing double, or a similar post showing up in the XML but not on vladville.com… yeah.. I was trying to nuke some blog spam and ended up nuking the entire blog post. The amount of comment SPAM has just been through the roof lately, one even tried spreading malware yesterday!
