Perpetual Software

As your trusted Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), we are excited to introduce you to a modern, flexible approach to traditional software licensing that combines the best of both worlds - the permanence of perpetual licenses with the convenience of cloud-based procurement through Marketplace Platform.

What is a perpetual license?

A perpetual license grants indefinite use of the software with a one-time payment. It means that once you have purchased a license, you can continue to use the software for as long as you want without any additional payments.

Perpetual licenses differ from subscription-based licenses where access to software is granted through recurring payments.

Why choose perpetual licenses?

There are several reasons to choose perpetual software products, including:

  • Cost-effective, long-term ownership - With perpetual licenses, you make a one-time investment in industry-leading Microsoft software that grants lifetime usage rights. This is ideal for organizations focused on budget predictability, as it avoids ongoing subscription fees.

  • Robust, comprehensive software suite - Microsoft offers a suite of trusted applications, like Office, Windows Server, SQL Server, and more that are foundational to productivity, collaboration, and data management across industries. Once purchased, these tools provide long-term access to critical features without requiring a continuous internet connection.

  • Enhanced control & security - A perpetual license means your organization retains control over software deployment, updates, and overall security. This can be especially valuable in highly regulated industries where stability and compliance are essential.

  • No ongoing renewal requirements - Avoid renewal deadlines or license expiration worries. Perpetual software licensing provides peace of mind with indefinite access to essential programs, perfect for organizations looking to avoid disruption in their workflow.

Who benefits most?

This licensing model is perfectly suited for organizations that:

  • Have strict data sovereignty requirements necessitating on-premises software deployment

  • Operate in regulated industries where cloud adoption faces compliance challenges

  • Prefer predictable, one-time investments over recurring subscription costs

  • Need specific version control for application compatibility

  • Want to maintain complete control over their update and upgrade cycle
