The initial minimum is 5 licences but once an agreement has been created, individual licences can be added at the same pricing level for 2 years after the initial agreement.

Microsoft Open Subscription License

This is a licence rental scheme which has all the benefits of MOLP with Software Assurance, however the payments are made anually thoughout its term. The agreement is for a minimum of 3 years and a declaration of the number and type of product being used is made at the end of each year. This is an easy way to manage your software as a software audit only needs to take place once a year. At then end of the agreement period, you can either renew the agreement or remove the software from your system as it is never own, only rented.
