VMware Purchasing Programs

VMware Customer Purchasing Program

VMware’s Customer Purchase Program™ makes receiving discounts¹ for purchases over $25K (or local equivalent) with VMware channel partners simple to qualify for and quick to transact. There is no need to enroll or track prior purchases when determining which tier of savings can be applied to a transaction. The larger your transaction, the higher the qualified discount.

Key features:

• No need to enroll in a program, remember a membership number, or track prior purchases.
• Qualifying purchases are calculated in the form of points² for each transaction.
• Discount tiers are earned automatically based on purchase volumes.

Key benefits:

• Higher discounts when you purchase eligible VMware license products in volume.
• Simplified acquisition of VMware software through a standardized purchasing program.
• Easy to understand discount calculations based on each purchase volume.

Discount Levels:

End customers may purchase eligible products at a discount off then current VMware list prices. However, Customer Purchase Program discounts are passed down to end customers only through VMware authorized channel partners. VMware does not set final prices, actual discounts, or payment terms for licenses acquired through such channel partners. Final prices and payment terms are determined by agreement between the customer and their channel partner.
