CA offers three world-class volume-licensing programs: The Open License Program, the Master License Program, and the Government License Program. Listed below are the details of each program.
Open License Program (OLP)CA Open License Program (OLP) is designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. OLP helps you to reduce the costs associated with evaluating, acquiring, implementing, deploying and maintaining CA software and services. In many cases, purchasing just two copies of CA Software qualifies for enrollment in the program. Each product and service has a point value.
Master License Program (MLP)The CA Master License Program (MLP) is designed for organizations with large computing environments. MLP reduces the cost of evaluating, acquiring, maintaining, upgrading, and managing CA software. Becoming an MLP member is a simple process. Every product and service offered through MLP has a point value associated with it. To buy through MLP, you agree up front to purchase products and services that equal designated point values as outlined. A minimum of two thousand points is required on the initial order, and after the end of the first year, an addition 1,500 point purchase is required to remain in the program. Therefore, a total of 3,500 points (2,000 + 1,500) must be accrued in the first year of the agreement. In the second year another purchase of 1,500 points is required. Total points purchased for the two year term must be equal to or greater than 5,000.
Government License Program (GLP)CA's Government License Program (GLP) is a premiere, world-class licensing program that offers government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations substantial discounts, without the obligation of making volume purchases.
GLP's streamlined process offers the fastest and easiest way to purchase licensing for large environments by reducing paperwork and administrative headaches associated with traditional contract-licensing programs. Furthermore, with no minimum purchase requirements, cost of software ownership is reduced and redundancy is avoided. Through GLP, government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations are able to purchase CA product solutions all at substantial discounts.
