Buying Industry-Leading Software For Large Organizations Has Never Been Easier
The Computer Associates (CA) Master License Program (MLP) is a high-volume software license program that offers substantial discounts on CA software. Designed for organizations with large computing environments, including government agencies, MLP reduces the cost of evaluating, acquiring, maintaining, upgrading, and managing CA software.
Step-By-Step Savings
Becoming an MLP member is a simple process. Every product and service offered through MLP has a point value associated with it. You can buy a broad range of CA Solutions without the product pool restrictions often associated with licensing. To buy through MLP, you agree upfront to purchase products and services that equal designated point values as outlined here:
| MLP Requirement | Purchase (in points) |
|---|
Initial Purchase | 2,000 |
End of Year 1 | + 1,500 |
End of Year 2 | + 1,500 |
2-Year Total | = 5,000 |
You can mix and match products to accrue the points needed to fulfill your two-year commitment and receive your discount. If you are an eligible Government Institution, you automatically qualify for MLP – without any minimum purchase requirements.
| Step 1: | Contact your CA Reseller and enter MLP with a commitment to purchase at least 5,000 points worth of software and services over a two-year period. |
| Step 2: | A minimum purchase of 2,000 points is required on your first order. |
| Step 3: | At the end of the first year of your agreement, another 1,500 points purchase is required. Therefore a total of 3,500 points (2,000 + 1,500) must be accrued in the first year of your agreement. |
| Step 4: | In the second year, another purchase of 1,500 points is required, bringing your grand total for the two-year term of your MLP agreement to 5,000 points. |
Right away, with the first order, you’ll receive your MLP discount.
You’ll continue to receive that discount as you fulfill your agreed-upon purchase milestones over the course of the eight-quarter term. Periodic checkpoints and compliances are available throughout the life of the contract to help you reach your purchasing goals.
