    Organizations should optimize their Microsoft license position to ensure license compliance and avoid over-spend.  To effectively manage MDSN subscriptions requires a combination of Software Asset Management (SAM) processes and tools: The process improvements should focus on how MDSN licenses are procured
    You need a Software License Optimization tool that has built-in knowledge of license entitlements to know what products are bundled into your active MSDN subscriptions. Your tool should also be able to create an optimized, reconciled license position by matching installed software against MSDN entitlements and prevent unnecessary license spending under your volume purchase agreements.
