Microsoft Open Value

Microsoft Open Value and Microsoft Open Value for Government are comprehensive Microsoft Volume Licensing agreements designed for small- and medium-business (SMB) organizations with 5 to 750 desktop PCs that want a flexible and affordable way to acquire the latest Microsoft technology. Open Value and Open Value for Government provide simplified license management for more control over IT investments, better management of software costs through the advantages of Microsoft Software Assurance for Volume Licensing—which is automatically included—and company-wide and non-company-wide options.

License Type
Open Value and Open Value for Government offer perpetual licenses, which are everlasting and valid if the licensed product is being used in accordance with the license-agreement requirements. Open Value and Open Value for Government customers own their licenses and have perpetual use of the licensed products under their agreements as of the time the licenses are acquired.

Products Included
In addition to the two defined desktop platforms—Microsoft Professional Desktop Platform and Microsoft Small Business Desktop Platform—Open and Open Value for Government offer a customized “build your own platform” model that will help give customers the flexibility they want without increasing complexity. Customers can mix and match products from the three desktop platform groups:

- Microsoft Office System License and Software Assurance Packs
- Windows Desktop Operating System Upgrade License and Software Assurance Packs
- Server License and Software Assurance Packs

For the company-wide option, customers must standardize desktop platform products on all desktop PCs across their organizations and must order licenses for all qualified devices that can run any of the chosen desktop platform products. The only devices that customers need not order licenses for are computers that are used as servers; devices that contain an embedded operating system, such as thin clients and Pocket PCs; and devices that are used only for line-of-business applications, like a hotel management system.

All customers can acquire additional non-desktop platform products as specified in their license agreements.
