UK reseller files £270m lawsuit against Microsoft

Its website claims that customers can save up to 70 per cent on their software licences by buying used software. ValueLicensing has filed a legal suit against Microsoft with the High Court in London claiming that the vendor has added clauses into contracts that block customers from reselling their licences, in exchange for discounts on its cloud-based products. The clauses are coupled with non-disclosure agreements which seek to stifle the preowned licences market, ValueLicensing alleges. The lawsuit alleges that these practices have been occurring since at least 2016 and has resulted in the firm losing £270m in gross profits. ValueLicensing s lawsuit is also asking for the High Courts to take measures to fully restore and maintain competition and choice in the market by removing NDAs and addressing the Microsoft clauses in customer contracts.
