Once you are certified and registered, you will be eligible to be paid by Microsoft to deliver a qualifying desktop deployment plan to your customers—at no cost to them—through remote or, in most cases, on-site consulting sessions.

The length of these sessions can vary depending on the Software Assurance agreement signed by the customer. Customers may be eligible to receive either a remote one-day, or a three, five, or ten day on-site deployment solution session.

Customers also have the opportunity to increase the length of their Desktop Deployment Planning Service—up to a special 15-day consulting session—by converting some of the training vouchers they've earned through the Software Assurance program.
