Microsoft Open Value (OV)
Overview:
OV is a volume discount agreement designed for organisations
with 5 or more PCs and is suited to businesses with
flexibility to spread payments and who wish to be up
to date with the latest software. Based on the number
of PCs covered and the Platform products chosen, a fixed
price per desktop is paid. The cost of these licenses
is split equally over three years, at the end of which the company owns the licenses. OV replaces the MYO volume licensing scheme.
Agreement Terms:
OV is a three-year agreement. At the end of this period,
there is an option to renew it for one or three years,
which will allow continued qualifying automatically
for upgrades for the extended period chosen. If the
customer chooses not to renew, the license is perpetual
so it can continue to be used to cover the latest software
version installed. The customer may add other products
to the agreement at any time during the three year term.
Any OV product can be added to the agreement at any stage but the full year price will be charged, therefore the most appropriate stage to add licenses to an agreement is on the anniversary date.
A single price band applies.
Eligibility:
OV is designed for businesses of all sizes.
Maintenance & Upgrades:
Software Assurance is built into OV so customers are
guaranteed rights to the latest versions of software
throughout the three year terms of the agreement. Microsoft
product support includes a minimum of two free incident
support calls. Work at home option included for employees
and also eLearning & Training vouchers for use within
the organisation. For further details of the benefits

Media kits for qualifying products are shipped free of
charge. Media kits for additional products are priced
separately.
