Welcome to Viosoftware's Microsoft Licensing information page. Microsoft offers several programs designed to fit any company’s
software needs. Whether you need as few as 5 licenses or as many as
20,000, Viosoftware
can help you with your IT needs.
Open Business
Open Business offers discounts over estimated retail pricing when you order a minimum of 5
licenses for qualified Microsoft products. Once you have purchased under
the Open Business licensing program you can continue to receive the same
discounted rate for all future licensing purchases within a 2 year period.
There is no minimum reorder quantity, but you have to start with a minimum purchase of 5 licenses. Initial orders over 499 can qualify for Open
Volume, however, multiple orders under the same licensing agreement do not
accrue and become Open Volume. For example, if you order 200 licenses
under the Open Business Agreement and then 1 month later order 300 licenses, you
will not qualify for Open Volume. The total of the order must be over 499
in one product pool to qualify for the Open Volume.
Open Volume
Open Volume Licensing is available to companies that wish to purchase larger
quantities of software. There are significant discounts associated with
Open Volume pricing. There must be a total of 500 licenses to
receive Open Volume.
Software Assurance (SA)
The Software Assurance program allows your company to attain the
latest version of Microsoft products. The Software Assurance Program
entitles you to 2 years of upgrades. For example, if you buy Office 2007
Professional now with Software Assurance you will be licensed for future
releases of Office Professional.
