FAQs

What is an effective licensing position (ELP)?

An ELP reconciles what you own (entitlements) against what you've deployed and what's actually used. It's the single document that turns a renewal or audit from guesswork into a negotiation, and it's the core workbook this assessment delivers.

How do we prepare for a Microsoft true-up or audit?

Know your position before Microsoft tells you theirs. The review maps every deployment to an entitlement, flags gaps and surpluses, and gives you defensible numbers, ideally starting 60–90 days before the date.

Can this help before an EA renewal?

That's the highest-value moment. Entitled-but-unused SKUs, wrong-sized E5/E3 mix and double-covered bundles all become negotiating leverage, often worth many times the assessment price.

Will you find over-licensing as well as compliance gaps?

Yes, both. Under-licensing is risk and over-licensing is waste. The review quantifies each, with a recommendation per product.

Are you independent of Microsoft and resellers?

Completely. Block 64 doesn't resell licenses and takes no publisher incentives, so the recommendation is yours alone. Your reseller's advice ends in a renewal; ours ends in a position.

What happens after the Block 64 Rapid Assessment is delivered?

You get the reports, workbooks and access to the Block 64 platform for 12 months. You can keep Block 64 running in your environment to keep data up to date. Or, remove our software from your network if it is no longer needed.

Do we need to learn a new tool?

No. Our experts install, run and manage Block 64 for you, and deliver the findings as a presentation, reports and workbooks. If you want hands-on access, the platform is included free for 12 months

Why don't we hire a consultant?

Consultants bill time and leave with the knowledge. We run a fixed-price engagement on our own platform, hand you the plan, and leave the platform behind.

How does Block compare to other SAM Platforms?

Block 64 is a total IT assessment management platform, including SaaS, software licenses and cloud, all in one. The Rapid Assessment simply layers on top human, white-glove delivery from our team, and gives you access to the platform once the report is done.
