For the discerning client, buying software is a matter of trust. The decision making process can last weeks or months and often includes intensive enquiries and product testing before a commitment is made to buy. O&O delivers high grade, durable and affordable software fit for the future – but it doesn’t want to stop there. O&O also wants to make obtaining software as easy as it can possibly be for every one of its clients.

Thanks to O&O EasyLicensing 4.1, all clients can now obtain software licenses and other services such as maintenance and support agreements at incredibly good value. With O&O EasyLicensing V4.1, O&O has created an easy way for customers to both acquire and administer O&O software licenses, with attractive bulk discounts and Enterprise license options included too. O&O EasyLicensing V4.1 is intended for clients from all areas of industry, the service and public sectors as well as from research and education, regardless of how many licenses are required. In fact, clients can already begin to reap the benefits starting with just 3 licenses!

The O&O License Program is intended to simplify the licensing of O&O Software. O&O EasyLicensing 4.1 allows for all O&O products to be obtained under one contract number with no further obligations attached. The following sections will explain and demonstrate this in more detail.

The Standard License Group (S1 and S2)

We have now made the purchasing of licenses in the Standard Group even easier. You need only specify the product or products, and how much hardware should be included in the license. The licensing will now cover the exact number of computers instead of groups in license packages. The new possibilities of this licensing will be briefly illustrated in the following examples.

The License Groups EL-S1 to EL-S2 are ideal for those clients with a low license requirement which is fulfilled with only one or two O&O products.

For businesses with a larger requirement for different O&O products – for example, when a subsidiary has to be supplied – is the Volume License Group ideal.

This License Group not only allows for the mixing of Desktop and Server licenses for one product, you can also combine any number of O&O products out of the Volume license program and thereby reach a higher discount level and save even more. It is, of course, possible to combine full versions and upgrades as well as to integrate already existing licenses into the Volume Group’s accounting structure. The only condition here is that licenses must cover the latest product version.

The change from a lesser License Group is also possible within the Groups EL-V1 to EL-V3. The next highest discount level can be applied as soon as the necessary license volume is achieved.

Back Purchases from within the Volume group must carry a minimum order value of Euro 50.00 (based on the O&O list price). An O&O EasyLicensing contract number must be quoted when making a Back Purchase.

The Enterprise License Group (EL-E1 to EL-E3)

For clients with several thousand computers, managing and controlling software product licensing presents a huge financial and administrative challenge. Substantial time and personnel costs must be invested in order to comply with licensing conditions and to monitor the installed software.

In order to provide these customers with the simplest possible licensing solutions - either in a single location, throughout a country or globally, O&O has created Enterprise, a licensing group providing geography-based licensing as opposed to licensing per machine. Geographical licensing also differs from other License Groups in terms of the customer base. Customers from the Public Authority, Non-Profit Organization and Research and Teaching sectors are partially excluded from this Group.

1. The Site License (EL-E1) enables a company to license one O&O product on any number of machines at one location. O&O defines the maximum size of a Site as a city. Inclusion of rural areas within the urban sprawl is not possible. The city area code can be used to assist in defining a Site.
2. The Country License (EL-E2) enables a company to license one O&O product on any number of machines in one country. The definition of a country in this case is a nation.
3. The Global license (EL-E3) enables a company to license one O&O product on any number of machines throughout the whole world.
