What are the benefits of second-hand Microsoft Office licenses?
You probably recognize it: You want to renew your Microsoft Office licenses or you are forced to switch to another version of Microsoft Office. These are often the moments when you discover that purchasing software licenses can be expensive. But that is not necessary if you opt for second-hand Office licenses!
A Microsoft reseller will probably advise you to switch to Office 365 and to go from on-premise perpetual licensing to a cloud-based subscription.
You may think that the transition from CAPEX to OPEX expenses sounds attractive; What is not told in many cases is that in the long term you spend much more than necessary. Of course, your organization’s roadmap is important before a sound choice can be made.

Independent licensing advice!
With an independent party that specializes in software licenses, you can save a lot on software costs. This can possibly be done by means of second-hand software licenses from Microsoft.
Q- Advise is the authority in the field of independent licensing advice. Because we are not tied to software manufacturers (and therefore do not receive rewards/ fees for sales from them to customers), we do not look at what is best for Microsoft, but what is best for your organization.
At Q- Advise we have a lot of experience in purchasing and selling second-hand software licenses at greatly reduced prices. An example of this is SQL 2019 or Office 2016 / 2019 licenses, which can often be supplied at much less cost than a Cloud annual subscription to Office 365 Plus.
