The following are a few key organizational characteristics to help understand Microsoft Commercial
Licensing policies and agreements and help choose the best option for an organization:
•
The size and type of an organization.
•
The products and services that an organization wants to license.
•
The way in which an organization wants to use those products.
Programs for the type and size of an organization
At the most basic level, the Microsoft Commercial Licensing agreement models address organizations in
the following main categories:
•
Organizations with more than five but fewer than 250 users or devices.
•
Organizations with 250 or more users or devices.
•
Organizations with 500 or more users or devices.
•
Education organizations with 1,000 or more users and devices.
For organizations with fewer than 250 users or devices, Microsoft offers the following options:
•
Open Value
is for commercial and government
customers
with as few as five PCs and offers the advantages
of Software Assurance, simplified license management, and an annual payment structure. Open Value offers
organization-wide and non
–
organization-wide options. Open Value will be available to eligible education
and nonprofit organizations in July 2021.
•
Open Value Subscription
is for commercial and government customers who want to subscribe to, rather
than acquire, Microsoft product licenses. Available in select countries or regions, Microsoft Open Value
Subscription provides the lowest up-front costs of the Open options with the flexibility for customers to
reduce their total licensing costs in years when their desktop PC count declines. Open Value Subscription also
has a one-year agreement option for eligible government customers.
