## Liga oversættelse ##

Valg af licensmodel: Eje eller leje
 
VLA kunder kan nu vælge mellem at eje eller abonnere på licenser, som tidligere kun kunne købes til eje. For et givent produkt skal alle licenser være enten udelukkende købt i abonnement eller udelukkende købt til eje. Kunder som allerede har indkøbt licenser til eje for et givent produkt skal fortsætte med at købe licenser til eje, når der er behov for yderligere licenser.
 
Der optjenes ingen ejendomsret eller ret til overdragelse af licenser og opspares ingen tilgodehavender i forbindelse med abonnement på licenser. Hvis en kunde på noget tidspunkt vælger at flytte fra abonnement til ejede licenser, må kunden betale den fulde pris for at eje licensen. Retten til at anvende licenser i abonnement udløber efter abonnementsperioden hvis abonnementet ikke fornys.
 
Denne annoncering gælder ikke og ændrer ikke eksisterende tilbud fra Novell, som udelukkende indeholder maintenence, som for eksempel SuSE Linux produktlinien. Novell produkter som ikke kræver en forudbetalt licensafgift vil fortsætte som udelukkende maintenence. Vi henviser til Novells website, hvor eventuelle opdateringer af betingelserne for licenser i abonnement vil være tilgængelige: www.novell.com/licensing/policy/
 
Abonnement + Priority Maintenence
Licenser i abonnement sælges udelukkende sammen med 1 års Priority Maintenence. Hvis kunden ønsker at købe flere års abonnement forud, kan 1-års varenumre lægges sammen for at opnå det totale antal ønskede år. Se også det vedlagte regneark med abonnement + Priority Maintenence varenumre, som er tilgængelige i Novell prislisten for VLA kunder.

VLA & MLA Software Subscription Licenses
Novell is pleased to announce the availability of Software Subscription licenses for Volume License Agreement (VLA) and Master License Agreement (MLA) customers worldwide, effective September 4, 2009. Software Subscription licenses are provided as an alternative to most existing perpetual license offerings. Subscription licenses offer simplified customer budget planning, consistent annual payments, and lower initial software adoption costs. VLA and MLA standard program discounts and policies apply to subscription license orders. Additionally, VLA and MLA transaction-based volume discounts may also apply.

Subscription or Perpetual Selection Policy
VLA and MLA customers may now choose between subscription or perpetual, for licenses which were previously exclusively perpetual. All licenses for a particular product must be either all subscription, or all perpetual. Customers who have already purchased perpetual licenses for a particular product will continue purchasing perpetual licenses when adding incremental licenses.

No perpetual license vesting or credits will be accumulated with the purchase of subscription licenses. If at any time a customer desires to move from subscription licenses to perpetual licenses, the customer must pay the full perpetual license fee. Subscription license use rights will expire at the end of the applicable subscription period if the subscription is not renewed.

This announcement does not apply to nor change existing maintenance-only Novell offerings, such as the SUSE Linux product line. Novell products that do not require upfront license fees will continue to be maintenance-only offerings.  Please reference Novell's licensing policy website for any periodic policy updates to the Software Subscription licensing option at http://www.novell.com/licensing/policy/.

Subscription License + Priority Maintenance
Subscription licenses are sold exclusively as a combined offering with 1-year Priority Maintenance.  If the customer desires to purchase multiple years of subscription upfront, 1-year part numbers may be added to the order to total the number of years needed.  Please reference the attached spreadsheet of Subscription License + Priority Maintenance part numbers available on the Novell Corporate Price List for VLA and MLA customers.
