Enterprise
Enterprise Agreement is designed for customers with two hundred and fifty or more qualified computers. Qualified computers include desktop PCs and Apple Macintosh computers, portable computers, workstations and similar products that meet the minimum requirements for running Enterprise products. Servers and computers running only line of business software or an embedded operating system do not qualify. There are three Enterprise products:
-
Windows Desktop Operating System Upgrade: to Windows 2000 Professional or to Windows XP Professional
-
Office Professional: the current version includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook Messaging and Collaboration Client and Access
-
Core Client Access Licence: Exchange Server, Windows Server, Systems Management Server and Sharepoint Portal Server.
Software Assurance Membership is built in guaranteeing permanent rights to new versions of software released during the three year Enterprise Agreement period and a range of other benefits. The level of discount depends on the number of qualified computers at the start of the agreement. The discount then applies to additional Enterprise licences bought during the following three years. Discounts are also available on other Microsoft products. Customers who buy all three Enterprise products receive an additional 15% platform discount. Payment for Enterprise products and any other products bought by the customer at the start of the agreement is made in annual instalments over the three year period.
