OPEN LICENSE PROGRAM
Nuance's OLP (Open License Program) is for companies, large or small, who want to purchase multiple copies of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking, and may want to purchase more in the future. There are somewhat different rules for Dragon Medical and the
non-Medical versions, so let's take them separately.
NON-MEDICAL
An OLP is similar to "volume pricing," but with one important difference: It's called "open" because once the initial purchase is made,
additional licenses can be added -- for the same lower price -- without having to meet the initial "volume" level all over again. For
instance, if your company purchased six copies of Professional at once, you would not only get a lower price, but you could purchase two
more three months from now for the same lower price: you wouldn't have to buy another six to qualify.
You might think this was just for big cheeses, but in fact, even smaller groups can qualify. It's all based on points. You have to meet a
minimum number of points to qualify -- for the initial purchase, this number is fifty. Since each copy of Dragon Professional, for example,
is worth 16 points, this means that once you buy four, you're in. Preferred is worth 8 points, so you'd need to buy seven to qualify. There
are exceptions to this, but more on that in a bit.
There are also different discount levels, so someone who buys 100 Professionals is obviously going to get a better deal than someone
who buys four. Still, there are savings to be had by everyone.
An OLP license runs for two years. During that time, you can buy as many additional copies of the software as you wish, for the same
lower price, as long as you meet a 20-point minimum. (For those of you counting on your fingers, that's two copies of Professional or
Legal, or three of Preferred.)
Dragon Preferred is available only for academic institutions. Sorry, corporate guys - you have to buy boxes.
Nuance also offers Maintenance for OLP's. Maintenance includes backup technical support directly from Nuance, plus upgrade
assurance, which offers the opportunity to stay current with the software by receiving all updates and upgrades issued
during that year for no additional cost. It runs for one year, and you have the opportunity to renew it for the second year of the OLP.
The nice thing is, UA also is worth points (four for Professional and Legal, and two for Preferred), so when you add those points in, you
can qualify for an OLP purchase with fewer software licenses. For instance, instead of having to buy four Professionals to qualify, you can
buy three licenses and three UA (3 x 16 points for software = 48 points, plus 3 x 4 points for UA = 12... a total of 60 points).
MEDICAL
One year of Maintenance is mandatory for Medical OLP's. We don't want you to fail at this endeavor any more than you do, so we make
sure you don't by providing both backup technical support and upgrade assurance. Years beyond the first are optional.
The good news is that you can start a Medical OLP with just one person - you needn't meet a minimum number of users to qualify.
This probably sounds very confusing, so if you're contemplating multiple purchases, ring us up and we'll explain what your options are
and specifically what it would cost you.
