Introduction
Diyar has been a Microsoft Licensing Solution Provider (LSP) for over 30 years, managing enterprise agreements for government and large enterprise clients across Kuwait. As a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and ISV, Diyar covers the full range of Microsoft cloud subscriptions and consumption licensing across Kuwait & GCC.
Licensing is not just a transactional function. Done properly, it is a strategic lever that controls cost, ensures compliance, and enables the organisation to adopt new cloud capabilities at the right pace. Diyar’s licensing practice combines commercial expertise with deep technical understanding of how Microsoft platforms are actually used.
