Keeping Microsoft SPLA Licensing Records is important because of Microsoft's SPLA customer activity. The SPLA usage reporting helps the providers in precise documentation of the consumption and installations. And along with that, we know that people get huge remediation penalties. The penalties were for three years' worth of postdated licensing subscriptions. These penalties depend on the latest level of usage. This just goes to show how important it is to keep historical usage documents in an audit situation. SPLA reporting is helpful for providers who report and charge their customers' usage. SPLA usage report aids to distinguish consumer SPLA usage for a vendor from other usage types. This includes instant consumption data and month-to-month billing information. As well as the ability to sustain the previous data in case of a vendor audit request.

An audit is very time-consuming and can be costly if your report turns out to be false. A thorough audit trail can cut the time it takes to finish a Microsoft compliance review from months to weeks. Whenever an auditor sees that you have a specialized tool, the entire process becomes much less painful. That’s why it’s great to have a helping hand when it comes to accurate SPLA usage reporting. 2/2
