We care about getting the best for Novell customers. That's because we're more than a Novell reseller - we're a customer, too. That makes Dell your biggest and best advocate with Novell. We can take care of your volume licensing and fulfill your licenses as well.

Novell offers flexible options, for education organizations, that lower your software ownership costs and help you spend less time on software acquisition. That means you'll have more time to focus on your true mission: education.

How It Works

SLA is designed for K-12 schools and ALA is designed for colleges and universities. Both programs allow you to choose the Novell products you want and pay a low annual subscription fee for usage. Your subscription gives you the right to use your Novell products across your entire organization.

Talk to your Dell Account Manager about the product choices and combinations available. Be sure to ask for the SLA or ALA agreement form and associated worksheets from Novell to begin the process of utilizing Novell's subscription programs.

Upgrade Protection

The software you license through the SLA or ALA program is automatically covered with Upgrade Protection, ensuring you always have access to the latest version of the software, and lowering the cost of software procurement

Perpetual License Options

In some cases, you may prefer to own product licenses. You can do so under Novell's VLA for Education program. With no initial purchase requirement, VLA for Education is identical to the standard VLA Program but at higher discount levels.

This option is available to all academic customers, regardless of participation in the ALA or SLA programs. You may choose to enroll in the ALA or SLA in order to subscribe to a specific set of products each year and choose to purchase perpetual licenses through the VLA Program for other products. Ask your Dell Account Manager for more information about VLA for Education.
