Companies who standardize on the Microsoft platform benefit with an Enterprise Agreement because of high-volume price levels and centralized payment planning. Enterprise Agreement Basic Elements • Individual enterprise products of Enterprise Agreement (i.e. Windows Professional upgrade, Office Professional and Visio) are standard offerings for those who want to license less than the full enterprise platform • You may license additional products which include a subset of products available through the Select License program • Affiliate enrollments are a standard part of the agreement process, which give global companies greater flexibility in licensing Microsoft software for each affiliate. Enterprise Agreement The Enterprise Agreement uses the total quantity of qualified desktops to determine the price level for the enterprise products. Your initial order is made at the time of signing an enterprise enrollment. The initial order defines the enterprise product selection, additional product selection and the designated language group. Enterprise Products You may choose enterprise products at the time of signing an Enterprise Agreement enrollment. Enterprise Platform The standard platform of enterprise products includes all of the following: • Microsoft Office Professional, the current version of which consists of the following components: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Access • Windows Professional desktop operating system upgrade • Microsoft Core Client Access License, the current version of which consists of CALs for the following components: Windows Server, Sharepoint Portal Server, Microsoft Exchange Server and Systems Management Server You have the option of choosing just one, two or any combination of enterprise platform products at the signing of the enterprise enrollment. Splitting up the enterprise platform is not necessarily the best value. In contrast to the standard enterprise platform, licensing individual enterprise products may not provide the same Enterprise Agreement benefits of license administration, license tracking and budgetary planning. Enterprise Product Pricing There are four price levels for each of the enterprise products for businesses with at least 250 desktops. Once a per-desktop price is established for each enterprise product selected, it is fixed for the term of the enrollment. This means that the initial price per-desktop and True Up prices will not change during the enrollment term. Enterprise Price Levels Level PCs A 250-2399 B 2400-5999 C 6000-14,999 D 15,000+ Additional Product License and True Up Process After the initial order of an additional product, you may make additional copies of that additional product. However, the new quantities of the additional product licenses must be ordered within 15 days following each Anniversary of the agreement term. The price for the new quantities of additional products licenses will depend on the period of time for which the products are acquired. After the initial order, you may add new additional product that were not part of the initial order at anytime during the enrollment. You must place an order for the new additional product licenses at the time you want to run the product. The True Up prices for subsequent years will also be established at the time of the initial order for the new additional product. True Up fees for additional desktops added during the agreement term cover both the License and Software Assurance coverage for the remainder of the 3-year enrollment term. In order to calculate a True Up payment, the number of new desktops added (above the initial desktop count) is multiplied by the True Up price for the current year. The True Up prices are created based upon each year of the Enterprise Agreement as follows: • Year 1 True Up price = L + (2.5 x Software Assurance) • Year 2 True Up price = L + (1.5 x Software Assurance) • Year 3 True Up price = L + ( .5 x Software Assurance)
