Enabling RDS Cal with MPSA license

The Microsoft Product and Services Agreement (MPSA) is a transactional licensing agreement for commercial, government, and academic organizations with a minimum of 250 users/devices. MPSA works best for organizations that want to license on-premises software and cloud services from Microsoft, or both, as needed, without the commitment of the entire organization to a single contract with no end date. Software Assurance is optional.

When the customer purchases the license from Dell, they are granted access to the Business Center (BA) portal, which must be accessed via the following link: https://businessaccount.microsoft.com/

The email account used in the portal must be the same as the one used in the purchase of the licenses.

After accessing the BA portal, it is necessary to populate the information contained in the portal and place it in the RDS server.

Navigate to the "Account" tab -> "View Contracts"



Now open the license manager in windows server and right-click on the server name and select the "Properties"



option Select the "Required Information" tab and correctly populate the information in the selected fields, using the BA portal data:

Fill out the order number. This number is available on the BA portal.



Now go back to the BA portal and change to the Account tab -> View order
