Express Program

The Symantec Express program is designed especially for small to mid-sized companies that need an easy way to purchase small license quantities for use within a single country—without the time-consuming negotiations and complexity of signing contracts.

Small and mid-sized business customers can use this program to purchase all Symantec security and availability software products, as well as support and maintenance service options. Ordering additional licenses on a given transaction can qualify the purchase for a different pricing band, making the customer eligible for greater incentives.

Rewards Program

The Symantec Rewards program provides mid-sized and large organizations with streamlined procurement of all Symantec software products as well as support and maintenance services. With volume-purchase incentives and predictable pricing methodology, Symantec Rewards offers the added flexibility of decentralized purchasing. In addition, Symantec Rewards offers online tools and a programmatic way for customers to simplify how they track and manage their band and purchase points.

Companies with branches or affiliates (especially if they are located in multiple countries) will appreciate the global purchasing power offered by Symantec Rewards. Purchases under the original customer's Symantec Agreement Number (SAN), made by any corporate affiliate within the qualified region, earn points that accumulate and count toward the corporate pricing band. Purchases made under affiliate SAN's accumulate and count toward the "Family" point total and pricing band.

Enterprise Options

Symantec Enterprise Options is a versatile, prepaid purchasing program that allows large organizations to deploy a specific dollar amount of products, within specific Symantec product families, for specific OS platforms, over a specific time period, at specific discounts.
