LANDesk® Academic License Program
The LANDesk® Academic License Program simplifies licensing and lowers up-front licensing costs for your North American customers at K–12 schools, higher-ed institutions, accredited vocational schools, libraries and select teaching hospitals. Participating ensures that your customer’s LANDesk® licenses are affordable and helps their institutions:
- Reduce the costs of managing increasingly large and complex environments.
- Secure systems by enabling IT to easily administer security patches, identify configuration vulnerabilities and control device access.
- Ease the administrative burden of complying with regulatory requirements.
- Disallow installation and operation of software that enables peer-to-peer content distribution.
- Manage increasingly mobile and multiplatform devices.
Academic Licensing as a Sales Opportunity†
The academic market is a significant vertical opportunity for LANDesk® solution providers. Software distribution tools haven’t yet perpetuated throughout the academic market. Combine the resulting opportunities with the reality that this market is under increasing pressure to increase ROI for tools that it uses, and LANDesk® solutions become a very attractive option your academic customers.
The LANDesk® Academic License Program offers benefits for academic customers as well as solution providers serving these customers. Simple calculations based on full-time equivalents (FTE) make it easy to license for these institutions and the program is simple to learn and communicate. The three-year contract provides recurring annual income. At the end of the contract, no software needs uninstalled, the key simply expires. And the contract is easy to renew, upgrade and maintain.
The program’s structure makes your margin less susceptible to erosion than with other programs or standard licensing options. And you can increase your revenues by adding services such as installation, deployment and maintenance as well as upgrades and customization.
