Choose the Microsoft License Program That's Right for You
The Microsoft License program offers you three great ways to
save on Microsoft products:
Microsoft Open Value offers
customers simpler license tracking, greater control over the software
upgrade cycle, and better software cost management. In addition, Open
Value customers have access to Software Assurance benefits such as
training, deployment planning services, and product support.
Microsoft Open Licenses
Business offers savings on estimated retail prices when you place an
initial order for five or more licenses or one server processor license.
Volume may provide additional savings over Open License Business for
organizations that need to make a larger initial up-front order in one
or more product pools (applications, systems, servers).
Microsoft Select Licenses a software volume licensing program designed for corporate,
government, and academic customers with 250 or more desktops and mixed
product and purchasing requirements. Select License customers receive a
volume price level for each pool of products selected (applications,
systems, or servers) based on a three-year software forecast.
