  3. FAQ: SMSD 2:1 Promo Grant Through February 2010 • Q. What is the promo grant offer? • For each SMSD purchased from July 1st, 2009 through February 28th, 2010 for servers with 4 or more processors the customer will receive one SMSD at no charge. The granted SMSD license includes SA coverage equal to the purchased SMSD license (i.e. if the paid SMSD license is L&SA for 3 years the granted SMSD will also be L&SA for 3 years). • Q. Why is this promotion being offered? • This promotion is designed to mitigate the CPE impact of the SMSD price increase on servers with 4 or more processors to ensure customers make the right license selection (SMSE or SMSD) that is consistent with their long-term license needs. • Q. How do I transact the promotion? What do customers need to do to receive the promo? • This is not a standard world-wide promotion with promotion sku’s. The 2:1 promo grant is being handled via the price list. Customers purchasing the SMSD through the promo for qualified servers (i.e. those with 4 or more processors) will receive a grant of 1 free SMSD for each paid SMSD. The grant will not be tracked in the system but will be documented on the product list which will give the customer rights to renew the grated licenses upon renewal. • For a complete SMSE 4:1 Grant and SMSD Promotion FAQ please visit http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/management-suites-faq.aspx.
