How to Buy: Microsoft Open Business License

[Joel McIntosh]

According to the Microsoft Web site, you can purchase an Open Business
License from online resellers.

Microsoft Open Business Licensing allows businesses to purchase Microsoft
products at discount prices with a minimum of just five licenses. One of the
benefits of Open Business compared to Open Volume is that you don¹t need such
a large up-front volume commitment, but you still get the savings and
convenience of the licensing program.

Even the the Mactopia Office 2008 Web site mentions the licensing
availability.

However, when I use the Microsoft site to try and buy Office 2008
licenses, it doesn't appear as an option. If I do a Google search for
Office 2008 Open Business License resellers, nothing comes up.

Any ideas about how to approach this would be appreciated.

IIRC, Volume licenses weren't scheduled to be available until 1 February.

However, I'd suggest calling your MS rep.
