Apple Maintenance Program
The Apple Maintenance Program (AMP) provides your organisation with the most up-to-the-minute advances of Mac OS X Server or Xsan — at a significantly reduced price.
In a nutshell, the Apple Maintenance Program enables organisations to subscribe to software upgrades — instead of purchasing them each time they are released — and to benefit from substantial savings over time.
A three-year, non-cancelable agreement that entitles your organisation to receive every major upgrade release to Mac OS X Server or Xsan, the Apple Maintenance Program protects your software investment and reduces your total cost of ownership. The program’s affordable one-time fee simplifies budget management, reduces your administrative overhead and puts a lid on IT maintenance and software distribution costs. Upgrades are shipped automatically, so all of your computers can be standardized with the latest server and storage software. And, naturally, the more servers you’ve licensed, the more you’ll save.
You can purchase your AMP service contract directly from the Apple Store or from an authorised Apple reseller. To enroll, you must be using the most recent major release of Mac OS X Server (currently Mac OS X Server 10.5) or Xsan (currently Xsan 2). There’s no minimum requirement for subscribing to the Apple Maintenance Program and you can purchase licenses up to the total number of Apple servers or SAN clients listed on your purchase invoice.
