Take Advantage of Corporate Software Licensing Programs

Software makes your Teams More Productive

Almost every business can save money by using software Licensing for deep corporate software discounts. If you have three of more computers in your business, you can qualify for licensing discounts on many line-of-business applications. Here is an example of Retail versus Licensing pricing, showing the average discounts.

Microsoft has led the way with various Licensing programs. The most popular one, the Microsoft Open License Program Or MOLP for short) has a Business program where you only have to order three software SKUS to qualify, and they dont have to be the same item.

Most businesses order Microsoft Office this way, as it is subtanitally cheaper than retail copies. The one proviso is the retail copy license on some of their products allows you to install it on both a PC and a Notebook, thereby obviating the need for a second license. Therefore check the fine print on the items required. Better yet, get your software dealer to check!

Reordering on License Programs

Most license programs will have a specified re-order window. For example, the MOLP agreement allows you to re-order in any quantities for the duration of the MOLP program which is two years. Businesses can reorder three or more items to iniate a new contract before or near the completion of the first agreement. Let me be clear. The licenses you buy are yours forever. The license to use them lasts as long as you use them. Iniating a second agreement is only to extend the re-order window. Many people misunderstand this and think that there licenses expire with the agreement completion. Not so.
