Open Value and Open Value company-wide

With Open Value, you can consolidate your company's software needs and those of your affiliated companies in the European Union and EFTA countries under a single central contract. Unlike Open License, Open Value contracts have a three-year term. Software licenses are available under this model only with Software Assurance.

Entry into the Open Value program is possible with as few as five licenses, while the Open Value company-wide option can be completed with five qualified devices. The licensing costs for Open Value are generally divided into annual installments. This means that with Open Value, you can keep initial costs low without incurring interest charges.

Open Value is available in two variants:

• Open Value as a model for licensing individual software needs
• Open Value company-wide as a model for desktop standardization

Desktop standardization means that the company chooses to implement and use a uniform technology platform across personal computers.
