VMware Volume Purchasing Program

Discount Flow

VMware does not set nal prices or payment terms for licenses

acquired through its resellers. Final prices and payment terms

are determined by agreement between the customer and its

reseller. VMware is not accountable if a reseller chooses not to

pass on the VPP discount. VMware is not accountable if an order

is submitted with an incorrect VPP membership number and

thus, a customer does not receive the appropriate points.

VMware reserves the rights to change the terms and benets of

the membership at any time, for any reason.

Tools

Enrollment Portal—Online portal where customers (or partners,

on behalf of a customer) can enroll for a VPP membership. The

following information is required at the time of enrollment:

customer contact name, email address and your company name

and address. A partner who enrolls on behalf of a customer must

provide contact information for the end customer. The Enrollment

portal is located at: www.vmware.com/go/vpp-enroll

Points Portal—Online portal where a VPP member can log in to

view their accumulated points total, eligible discount level and all

contact information for the customer, aliate and partner contacts.

Customers can provide points portal access to contacts within

their company and to their preferred partner(s). The points portal

is accessible to VPP members at www.vmware.com/go/vpp.

Conﬁgurator—Online tool that combines points from a

customer’s current accumulated points total to points from a new

purchase (as submitted by the user) to determine eligible

discounts and the appropriate VPP SKUs to use on a PO. The

congurator is accessible to VPP members via the points portal.

Aliates

VPP customers may add their aliates to their membership to

utilize and benet from their organization’s discount level and

global purchasing power. Once such a relationship is established,

all valid points will accumulate with all members earning the

same shared discount. As new aliates are added over time,

their valid points will be pooled into the organization.

Aliates may become part of an organization’s VPP membership,

but these aliate’s software use is limited to the country where

they been invoiced for the purchase of the software. However, if

the aliate has been invoiced within any of the European Union

member states, the aliate may deploy the software in any of

the member countries.

To join a VPP membership, an aliate must satisfy all of the

following criteria: (1) The aliate is at least 50 percent owned by

the parent; (2) The aliate utilizes the purchasing department of

the parent company to purchase VMware product licenses; (3)

The aliate does not publicly trade on any stock exchange under

its own stock ticker symbol.

Migration from the Old VPP to New Accumulative VPP

All former VPP customers with active memberships as of July 1,

2010 will be automatically migrated into the new accumulative

VPP at the same or better discounts that were granted in the old

VPP. Bands C and D customers who have an active membership

as of July 1, 2010 will maintain their current VPP discounts until

their VPP membership expires.

VPP SKUs

A SKU is a number or string of alpha and numeric characters that

uniquely identify a product. VMware provides VPP SKUs to our

channel partners that will facilitate the PO process when using

the VPP program. VPP SKUs are available for most VMware

License products and must be used on a PO in order to qualify

for VPP discounts when ordering VMware license products.

Partners and customers can use the VPP congurator tool to

determine the appropriate SKUs for a given customer’s order.

Audit

VMware reserves the right to audit at any time the membership

status of any customer or Aliate and reserves the right to reject

or request a refund of any benets provided to such

unauthorized companies when the stated criteria is not met.
