Microsoft Open Value Products
Open Value Options
Microsoft Open Value offers three options for software acquisition and deployment:
- Open Value Company-wide Option. With the Company-wide option, you can receive significant cost savings over other Open License options and secure a single price per desktop (five desktop minimum) for your entire organization. To help with cost management, you have the option to spread the payment for your license annually. You'll have control over software deployment with the rights to deploy the latest software as needed or the option to deploy as a standard desktop across your organization. And you'll have access to your licenses for as long as you need them (perpetual). To simplify management of your licenses, you can add licenses onto this agreement for other Microsoft software you deploy on a non-company-wide basis. Software Assurance benefits that are part of the Open Value offering?such as training, partner services, and product support?help to maximize your return on investment.
- Non-Company-wide Option. With the Non-Company-wide option, you can license software on a portion of your desktops or servers and manage your software costs by paying for your license in three annualized payments. If you have a Company-wide agreement, you can simplify management of your licenses by adding Non-Company-wide licenses onto your Company-wide agreement.
- Subscription Option. With the Subscription option, you pay a single price per desktop (five desktop minimum) to deploy Microsoft technology as the standard across your organization, just as with the Company-wide option. However, the Subscription option provides you with rights to run the software only during the term of the agreement with Microsoft (non-perpetual).
