8. The newMSDN Benefit and Entitlement Systemfor Volume Licensing (MVLS/eOpen) Flexible Benefit Administration MSDN Technical Support Software Download Access Media Kit MSDN Subscription Benefits Now you can assign subscription benefits to be divided among several licensed users. Instead of assigning all the benefits of a single subscription to a single user — who may not need them all — the new system allows the MSDN Administrator to pool benefits from multiple subscriptions and efficiently distribute them amongst new and existing users in your organization. For example, media can be assigned to one MSDN licensed employee, access to technical support to another, and download access to a third.
