July Software
Sales Results - Business Software License Sales Heat-Up
The NPD Group - 08/02
Sales of licensed business software and maintenance agreements
through retail (including third-party direct merchants) have

results suggest that Q3 2002 will be among the biggest quarters yet
for these deals. So why are license deals through channel on the
rise? Think back to last year, when Microsoft altered its license
program and the answer will become clear. |
