Russell,
Thats what I thought - but I've had a customer who has had a quote whereby
their IT service provider has charged per annum for their TSCAL licenses on
their enterprise select agreement with SA. Over a three year term thats a
fair wedge of cash.
Now, while I agree with you, I'm having difficulty finding a document that
states that it can be one or the other L

This depends I'm sure on how you paid for the TSCAL to begin with. With a
Select Agreement or an Open volume license for instance you can buy with or
without SA. And you pay once for TSCALS and you have perpetual rights for
that version of OS.
I always see Microsoft Software Assurance as the same as Citrix
Subscription Advantage. With either vendor's SA, this allows you to upgrade
to the latest version at no further cost.
Where it differs (historically anyway) is that Citrix tried to offer
upgrades almost every year, making Citrix SA worth it. For Microsoft, if you
bought TSCALS with SA in 2003, you've already lost out as it was 5 years
between version updates.
How do you pay for your TSCALS?
Cheers

TSCals - if you've an SA agreement - do you "buy" (i.e.rent) your TSCALS
each and every year - or do you purchase them once?
