Microsoft shakes up licensing by ditching docs for new portal
Summary
Microsoft is set to make massive changes to the way customers access licensing documentation. An FAQ [PDF] about the site points out that this is all about access to information, rather than changing Microsoft’s licences. The FAQ advises that the new site “makes it easier to filter by program and product, so users view only the relevant terms and conditions.” “You can filter content by Microsoft product, program, date, and language to view the terms relevant to your organisation,” the FAQ adds. “By default, the site will show the most current terms, but content will be filterable based on publication date.” The FAQ also advises that “The Licensing Terms Site experience will update on an ongoing basis. Users have access to a complete update history via a date selector.” All of which will be welcome, as licences are lengthy and dense documents, and Microsoft has plenty of them.
