Select from the partners below to learn about their Software Licensing Programs:     Q: Is licensing an option for my company? If your business has multiple workstations utilizing the same software program or you can forecast a growing need for future software purchases, then you are a candidate for most software licensing programs. If you want to standardize the software applications across your network, then software licensing is a cost-effective and time saving solution for your company. Q: How long does my company own the license for? Most license programs offer time frames of one or two years. This means that you can license all of your workstations or servers and legally use the software program for that period of time. The length of the program varies for each software manufacturer. Q: If a new software product version is released within the license period, is my company eligible for the upgrade? Most software license programs offer Upgrade Protection (sometimes known as Upgrade Insurance, Subscription or Maintenance). Upgrade Protection allows you to use any new version release of the licensed software during the designated time period, typically two years. While some manufacturers include Upgrade Protection with a license purchase, most have it available for a discounted fee. Q: What is a Media Kit? A Media Kit includes one copy of the software program for installation purposes. Some manufacturers also include documentation with their Media Kits. Please refer to the specific manufacturer’s page in our Software Licensing Center or contact your CDW account manager for additional Media Kit details. Q: Is Technical Support available? Most software license programs have several Technical Support packs available for purchase, including 24 x 7 support packs. The Technical Support pack you choose largely depends on the amount of downtime your company can afford to experience.
