Bytes Licensing Academy

The Bytes Licensing Academy is designed to give you a base level understanding of software licensing and SAM.

These internally run courses provide a basic understanding of software licensing and software asset management (SAM). The Bytes Licensing Academy courses are vendor independent, although specific references are made to major vendors such as Microsoft, Symantec, Citrix, Adobe and VMware to ensure all attendees gain a good knowledge of their programs. These courses are run by Bytes and bring all our expertise to delegates who might need an overview of Licensing and SAM, or those who just want to keep abreast of the latest licensing or SAM programmes. We run two courses - which can be half day or full day - at key central locations in the UK in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
