Microsoft Open License
Microsoft Open License is a Volume Licensing program for small to mid-sized organisations that have fewer than 750 desktop PCs. The program provides a simple, flexible, and cost-effective way for customers to acquire their Microsoft software under a single agreement rather than on an individual basis. This enables them to easily manage their licenses through online tracking – and perhaps most importantly, keeps them legal as the risk of lapsed or missed licenses is dramatically reduced.
Open License helps you to add value to your software sales by making your customer’s management easier and with LDi it’s incredibly easy to buy – for more information on Bell Micro’s License Desk on the Internet, click here.
