Nuance Open License Program
The Software Procurement Option that Speaks Your Language
The Nuance Open License Program (OLP) is a convenient, easy to use
volume purchasing program designed to enable organizations of any
size to cost effectively procure Nuance products and support.
Each product included in the OLP is assigned a point value. The more
licenses committed to in the initial purchase, the better the discount
going forward. For maximum benefit, you’ll want to determine your needs
for at least the first six months, and purchase accordingly. You must
purchase one license for every individual who will be using the software.
This discount level for the OLP is guaranteed for a two-year period
from the initial date of purchase. If a follow-up purchase is larger than
the initial purchase and would warrant an improved discount, Nuance
suggests that this order be placed as a new initial order, and the 2
year period begins again.
Benefits:
- Reduces the costs to organizations when purchasing volume licenses, upgrade assurance, and technical support.
- No contract necessary - purchasing made easy.
- Discount level valid for 24 months, initial purchase sets the discount for 2 years.
- Easy to administer and understand. Follows industry standard volume license programs.
- Requires no commitment beyond the first purchase.
Requirements:
- An initial order of 50 points is required to achieve the first tier discount (a re-order is 20 points)
- Any combination of Nuance Open License products may be used to reach the volume purchase minimum
- A license must be purchased for all imaging products
- A license must be purchased for every user profile for all Dragon NaturallySpeaking products
What the Customer Receives
With each initial open license order, one set of media and
documentation is provided. Please note that one headset is provided
for each license of Dragon NaturallySpeaking. With each order a
license certificate is provided that details the licenses, upgrade
assurance and technical support purchased on the order.
Additional media, documentation, upgrade assurance, and technical
support may be purchased separately at an additional charge.
Upgrade Assurance (optional)
Upgrade Assurance is available in one year increments and gives the
customer the right to use the most current version for the specified
time period. The cost of Upgrade Assurance is a fixed amount (no
pro-rating) and once purchased is required for all future purchases
of that product. Nuance will automatically ship one CD of the most
current upgrade as it becomes available.
