Software License Agreement

As part of the sales process Microsoft Dynamics partners must present a copy of the current Software License Terms (SLT) to prospective Microsoft Dynamics customers so that they can be aware of the terms. We publish the “MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS” on our website at: https://www.calszone.com/wp-content/uploads/Microsoft-Dynamics-GP-Software-License-Terms.pdf
