Microsoft Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA) is a licensing program that enables service providers with hosted services to license Microsoft products on a monthly basis to provide services and hosted applications to their end customers. Some examples of Service Providers include Web Hosters, application services providers, messaging and/or collaboration services providers, platform infrastructure providers, business process outsourcers, streaming media Service Providers, and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) with hosted applications running on Microsoft technologies. Software services exclude any services that involve installing a Microsoft licensed product directly on any device to permit a customer to interact with the Microsoft licensed product.
