SA — Software Assurance

An optional add-on to Volume Licensing — paid annually as roughly 25–29% of the underlying license cost — that bundles version upgrade rights, License Mobility to the cloud, Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility, training vouchers, planning services and 24/7 support.

Required for moving server workloads to Azure or AWS via License Mobility; almost always pays for itself on Windows Server and SQL Server over a 3-year horizon.
