Calculating Deployment Planning Service Days

The following table shows which product licenses generate points that can be used toward deployment planning services days, and how those points are added up to calculate the entitlement for deployment services days. To be counted, licenses must be purchased with Software Assurance, Microsoft’s software upgrade and maintenance program, which adds 29% per year to desktop application licenses, and 25% per year to server licenses, including Client Access Licenses (CALs) and CAL suites.
