With the new Open Value Subscription program, one of the requirements is that the initial Agreement order be for at least one of the Enterprise products on a company-wide basis. Plus, for those of you interested in taking advantage of the Up-to-date discount I talk about in my Yes, you heard right… 50%* off the first year payment! post, it is the Enterprise products that offer the up-to-date discount if your client has qualifying licenses already when stating a new Open Value Subscription Agreement. One of the questions I have received is, “What are the ‘Enterprise Products’ offered through Open Value?” To answer this question, here is the list:
Enterprise products:
This means that your initial Open Value Subscription Agreement MUST include at least one of the items listed above on a company-wide basis. One other thing to note on Enterprise products in Open Value Subscription, the Enterprise products can ONLY be ordered on a company-wide basis. This means you cannot order any of the Enterprise products listed above for only some of the computers in your company, you must order them on a company-wide basis (one for each computer in the company).
