LICENSING MADE EASY
No minimum points needed for the CA Open License Program (OLP)
OLP is a license program that does not depend on volume and that allows you to purchase software, services and technical support from CA in an extremely cost-effective way. It is specifi cally aimed at achieving cost reductions arising from evaluating, purchasing, servicing, upgrading and managing business software. Ideally suited to small and medium businesses are the targeted purchasing, the cost savings and the centralised license management offered by the OLP. You already qualify for the OLP with your fi rst purchase without any minimum points purchase. You are guaranteed the OLP discount for every CA software order for 2 years.
Investment protection and free telephone support with Maintenance
You can purchase a Maintenance plan for a minor supplement in relation to the simple license. This includes upgrade protection and free telephone support for the entire term. You can choose between Value and Enterprise Maintenance. Value Maintenance offers upgrade protection and telephone support during CA working hours, while Enterprise Maintenance offers upgrade protection, 24/7 telephone support and access to CA’s online support.
