Used software: Purchase via an MRM partner
When, due to an over-licensing or other business decisions, software licenses are no longer needed, they can be put to good use and find a new owner. MRM Distribution therefore purchases idle Microsoft software from volume licensing agreements – only within the European economic area.
This means that if a customer of an MRM (vendor) partner has software licenses to sell, these are purchased by MRM in order to pass them on to its extensive network of partners and thus extends the lifecycle of unused software licenses.
The B2B model of purchasing licenses via MRM partners is complemented by another area: the purchase of software directly from companies.
IT products that MRM purchases:
All products should be within the official Microsoft Product Lifecycle. This currently applies to all versions between 2016 and 2021. Licenses must be fully paid for and owned by the original purchaser.

The most important advantages for end customers
Your customers will also benefit from unique advantages when selling their used software to MRM through you:
Value creation cycle
As soon as your customers sell second-hand software, they are part of the lifecycle IT. This means that by reselling idle IT products, no new products have to be produced for a software buyer and resources are conserved.
Non-binding
MRM guarantees a non-binding inventory of the existing used software. Only when overlicensing – i.e. the existence of too many licenses – has been determined, does a possible cooperation start.
No overlicensing
When idle licenses are sold, the IT infrastructure is brought up to date and the profitability of your customers is increased.
Modernization
When sold, unused software provides the financial injection that is often needed to be able to implement cloud services or hybrid solutions in companies.
