Maximize ROI with SELECTserver License Pooling and Annual License Exchange.

Using SELECTserver licensing eliminates 100% of upgrade costs, and puts critical software at your fingertips, at all times. A number of SELECTserver licensing options are included with a SELECT subscription:

  • NEW! Country-Level License Pooling - Previously defined at the site level, new Country-Level License Pooling allows users to share software resources across multiple sites within an individual country. License pooling drastically improves software ROI for subscribers by allowing licenses to be shared - typically by 1.5 employees each. Country-Level License Pooling also streamlines asset management and allocation of project work while delivering even higher ROI for software investments. 

    Managing licenses on SELECTserver also streamlines software administration by eliminating computer-by-computer license installation. 

  • Trust Licensing -  With SELECT, licenses are deployed from a SELECTserver which reports license usage on each desktop. This way, licenses are always accessible regardless of how many co-workers are working at the same time.

  • Mobile and Home Use Licensing -  Subscribers can simply "check out" mobile and home-use licenses from SELECTserver and use them wherever they need to work. Improve productivity during off-hours, at home, and on the road.
     
  • Annual License Exchange (ALE) - ALE allows your firm to exchange under-used technology for software better suited for your changing business needs. As an added benefit, software is exchanged at the current list price rather than the price at the time of purchase. Conditions apply.*

  • Fixed-Term Subscriptions - As a SELECT subscriber, you may choose to take advantage of monthly or annual pre-payment license schemes to accomodate varying project and operational demands.

  • SELECTserver Usage Reporting - SELECTserver provides insight into software usage so you can see when software use and workloads peak and trough. Leverage usage reports for insight into company-wide activity and to plan for the software needs of upcoming projects and new employees.

*This opportunity occurs each year on the anniversary of the subscriber's SELECT contract. Perpetual licenses purchased on or before August 31, 2006 are eligible for License Exchange.
