ESD is a software licenses distribution model by Microsoft, where distributors are able to accept purchase orders from resellers and deliver software perpetual licenses to end-customers. The ESD integration with interworks.cloud platform will allow the instant delivery of all ESD products straight to the end-customer by email. The products are ready to use immediately after digital delivery. This new integration facilitates the ordering and fulfillment processes for customers. It helps you get rid off costs associated with Physical Media handling needs and increase their long-term profitability against old-fashioned box software. NOTE: The ESD model is available only to authorized Distributors by Microsoft globally.

With the Asset Management we are developing in our platform you will be able to:
- Create perpetual or license based products that require a license key for activation
- Automate business flows such license return process or resend of activation link
- Keep track of the licenses your customers have purchased
- Allow your customers or resellers to view and manage their licenses keys from your Storefront
- Use our reporting engine for getting consolidated data for your licenses business
Getting the Prices of a Product in All Units via Reporting
You can create a report that will return all the prices of a product for all active units. For accomplishing this, you should create a products report that will include also the Default Prices data. This report returns a line per product - unit combination but you can filter your results requesting only the prices for a specific unit (e.g. monthly, annually etc.)
