Summary

Hewlett-Packard is adopting a pure Electronic Software Delivery strategy for many of the HP Software products. This is applicable to most of the IT Operations Management and Application Delivery Management products (HP Data Protector, HP GlancePlus, HP Operations Agents, HP Medical Archive Solution, HP Network Node Manager I and Appliance products are some of the exceptions). This makes the software products you purchased available for download immediately. However, if you need the physical media for the products you purchase, you have the option to work with your sales representative to obtain that (via an exception process).

Program overview

 

Hewlett-Packard is adopting a pure Electronic Software Delivery strategy for many of the HP Software products. This is applicable to most of the IT Operations Management and Application Delivery Management products (HP Data Protector, HP GlancePlus, HP Operations Agents, HP Medical Archive Solution, HP Network Node Manager I and Appliance products are some of the exceptions).

However, if you need the physical media for the products you purchase, you have the option to work with your sales representative to obtain that (via an exception process).

 

As part of this improvement, on May 1, 2015, HP will be ending the sale of most physical media products (the physical media for the products listed as exceptions above, will continue to be available for sale). Starting May 2015, the next time you renew your support contract for HP Software products, the physical media products on your support contract, if any, will be replaced by the corresponding electronic media products. There will be no change to your license entitlement for these products and this will not affect your ability to get support and software updates for these products.
