    Volume Licensing
    Microsoft Volume Licensing programmes help organisations with tasks such as:

    • Tracking software use to ensure legal compliance.
    • Deploying updates and new versions, especially on client computers.
    • Organising software license purchasing through centralised purchasing practices.

    Microsoft Open programmes, are recommended for organisations between 5 and 250 employees. They provide volume discounts for a minimal up-front cost and are available broadly through a worldwide partner channel.

    The Open Programs offer many benefits, including:

    • Simplicity. Start using licensed products as soon as your order is placed through the Open License pay-as-you-go model.
    • Affordability. All Open Value License programmes offer flexible payment options so that you can stretch your software procurement budgets further.
    • Flexibility. A broad worldwide partner channel makes sure you have convenient and fast access to thousands of software titles.
    • Value. Manage licenses easily and conveniently through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).



    Open License
    Microsoft Open Programs offer the ability to add Online Services purchases to your agreement, so you can transition to the cloud at your own pace through your existing agreement.
    Open Value
    To increase programme flexibility and keep the low-entry standard, the Microsoft Open Value programmes provide multiple purchasing options, including Open Value (Company Wide or Open Value Non–company Wide) and Open Value Subscription. Each is a three-year term commitment that includes Microsoft Software Assurance as a fixed benefit.
    Open Value Subscription
    Similar to the Company (Organization)-Wide option, with the Subscription option, you pay a single price per desktop PC to deploy Microsoft technology as the standard across your organization. This option gives your organization the rights to run the software Company (Organization)-Wide only during the term of the agreement with Microsoft. You also have the ability to add the single platform option to an Open Value Subscription agreement. Also like the Company wide option, Open Value Subscription offers flexible annual payments tied to the number of client computers you have but with the lowest up-front costs. Open Value Subscription features include:


    • Additional savings in the first year if you have current or previous versions of company-wide licensed products.
    • The option to add the company-wide licensed products you have selected on new client computers throughout the year at no additional cost for that year.
    • Lower payment through the years as your client computer count declines.



    Public Sector Organisations
    For public sector organisations, such as schools and government entities with less than 250 client computers, Microsoft offers versions of the Open License and Open Value programmes. The Open License for Academic and Open License for Government programmes are similar to the commercial Open License programme but with different pricing and partner channels. In some regions, government organisations can also participate in the Open Value for Government and Open Value Subscription for Government programmes. In other regions, charitable organisations can participate in the Open License for Charities programme.


    Software Assurance
    Some Volume Licensing programs also give you with the option to purchase Software Assurance; this provides you with added maintenance and support to help get the most from your software investment. This single, cost-effective program can help to increase business productivity with 24/7 support, deployment planning services, improved training and updates to the latest software releases. You can purchase Software Assurance when your Volume Licensing programme begins, meaning you can gain the benefits of Software Assurance immediately.
