Renewal preparation · PDF and editable text
The CoreView Renewal Playbook
A governed Microsoft estate is not the same thing as a Microsoft license inventory.
Establish which CoreView products, tenants, populations and governance capabilities the agreement covers. Keep CoreView fees distinct from underlying Microsoft licenses and avoid assuming a current bundle matches a legacy contract.

Who this is for
For procurement, finance and the relevant business and technology owners preparing a CoreView renewal. This is a commercial preparation resource, not technical implementation advice.
Start with the commercial questions
1. Define the governed estate
Reconcile tenants, covered populations, operator access and the commercial unit.
2. Validate the capabilities needed
Ask responsible owners to substantiate administration, automation, reporting and recovery needs. A feature list alone is not evidence of adoption.
3. Request a written scope mapping
Compare existing entitlements and proposed packages, dependencies, service fees and future adjustments without silently substituting newer bundles.
Start with the contract, not the headline discount
Record the exact product and edition, billing unit, committed quantity, measurement period and renewal notice date. Keep software fees separate from services and other charges. A reduction in operational use does not automatically reduce a contractual minimum.
The free download adds a worked, clearly labeled hypothetical example and seven manual worksheets. Those examples are arithmetic under stated assumptions—not confidential customer terms or achieved vendor prices.

Common questions
Does this establish my licensing entitlement?
No. Your executed agreement, product version and supplier-confirmed scope govern. Use the worksheets to organize the evidence and unresolved questions.
Can I use this without sharing my contract?
Yes. The download is used locally by your team. You do not need to upload contract details to RenewalIQ.
