Symantec launches new license program

Symantec Corp has announced the Symantec security license program, which

makes it easy and cost-effective for companies to purchase Symantec enterprise

security software solutions. The program’s two volume license options provide

consistent product offerings, discounts and support for an entire range of

Symantec solutions.

The value program is a single-purchase, certificate-based plan ideal for

small to mid-sized companies operating within a single country. It offers

incentives for orders of as few as one server or 10 desktop licenses and allows

companies to mix-and-match purchases within a product family to increase the

discount level. Companies can conveniently purchase a software media pack and

the number of necessary licenses via one purchase order.

The Symantec elite program is a contractual plan enabling larger companies to

leverage their volume purchasing power to achieve greater value from their

software license purchases. This flexible program provides companies the choice

of two purchasing options.

The ‘Commit’ option allows organizations to maximize their two-year

volume discounts with an up-front purchase commitment and the ‘Forecast’

option helps companies minimize their up-front capital outlay by making an

initial purchase of 25 per cent of the two-year forecast.

"Our new program provides more flexible purchase options for our

customers, making it easier for our channel partners to sell Symantec security

solutions," says Joy Ghosh, Country Manager, Symantec India.
