VMware Enterprise Licensing

VMware® Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) maximizes your VMware investment. The program gives your organization a cost-effective and time-efficient path to reach the full potential of your virtual environment. Organizations committed to standardizing on VMware should consider an ELA for the fastest time-to-value.

Available on all VMware products and services, the ELA program gives you a strategic relationship. For any eligible order of VMware licenses, you get a discount on the cost of licenses and deployment, support and training services available from VMware.

You determine your deployment period and your use of the software. You get clear budget visibility with a fixed price for the life of the ELA as well as a fixed renewal fee for all licenses at the end of the ELA period.

Single license keys speed deployment. Administration is eased with no internal sign-offs, no asset tracking, and co-termed maintenance for accurate, predictable Support and Subscription (SnS).

Choose unlimited or capped deployment of the VMware licenses during the ELA term. ELAs can also be structured to fit your organization including restrictions like limited scope by geography, business unit, subsidiaries, use of software or other factors.
