Microsoft Get Licensing Ready comes to an end

Microsoft’s Get Licensing Ready (GLR) training platform is being shut down as of December 31st, 2024.

A mainstay of the Microsoft channel and pretty much every reseller salesperson’s introduction to the wonderful world of Microsoft licensing, GLR has been a trusty companion to many for decades. It has been around as long as I can remember (so at least 20 years) but it is now a casualty of Microsoft’s apparent lack of interest in licensing these days.

My post on LinkedIn has been one of the most liked, commented, and reposted for some time -showing the depth of affection for the platform…and also the concern that it’s going to get even more difficult for partners and customers to understand Microsoft licensing.

I haven’t done GLR for a few years but I plan to take them all again and get one last set of certificates for posterity’s sake.
