Your use is governed by the latter if the MCA is not available in your geography. Visit the MCA page for availability details.
  • For customers who purchase through another Microsoft Commercial Licensing Program, such as an Enterprise Agreement, your use is governed by the licensing agreement under which you purchased the services. You can obtain a copy of your licensing agreement by contacting your Microsoft account representative or Commercial Licensing.
