Passport Advantage

Passport Advantage

Passport Advantage and Passport Advantage Express are simple yet comprehensive IBM offerings that cover license acquisition, including Fixed Term Licenses and Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance), product upgrades and technical support under a single, common set of agreements, processes and tools.

Both Passport Advantage offerings let you:
  • Acquire new IBM software licenses
  • Renew Software Subscription and Support and Fixed Term Licenses
  • Buy and renew technical support for Selected Open Source and other non-warranted applications

    • Passport Advantage is IBM’s comprehensive software licensing and software maintenance (product upgrades and technical support) program. It’s designed for larger enterprises that may have multiple sites. Passport Advantage gives you more opportunities to obtain better pricing. Passport Advantage offers better pricing for your volume purchases over time and is based on your Relationship Suggested Volume Price (RSVP) level. You can qualify for even better pricing based on the size of individual transactions, including purchases from select Independent Software Vendors.

    • Passport Advantage Express is designed for single-site, smaller enterprise businesses. It combines the full Passport Advantage product list with the simplicity of transaction-based acquisition. Passport Advantage Express does not require a relationship agreement; each transaction is subject to the terms and conditions effective at the time. There are no points and no aggregating, just a single price level. And with each new license acquisition, you receive renewable Software Maintenance.
