Whether you are a large organisation, small or medium sized business or a educational institution, Nuance has developed a flexible licencing program that suits your needs. If your organisation uses or wishes to use multiple copies of Nuance software, the Nuance Diamond Licence Program is the most cost effective and efficient way for your company to take advantage of volume purchase discounts on licences of Nuance's award-winning software. The Nuance Diamond Licence Program is a certificate-based program; you simply purchase one retail or low-cost media pack from your reseller, and Nuance supplies a certificate authorising you to make one copy, or installation, for each licence purchased. It's that simple. And, unlike many other software licences that have a limited term, with Nuance once you've purchased your licence, it's yours for life.

The Nuance Diamond Licence Program is designed for corporate, government, education and small business customers who like to receive significant savings on Nuance software licences. The Nuance Diamond Licence Program offers you an opportunity to lower your total cost of licencing. You can benefit from Nuance's world-class productivity applications while receiving reduced licence fees. Business and educational institutions qualify for volume licencing with orders as small as 5 licences. Nuance products that are ordered through the Nuance Diamond Licence Program are licenced to a specific company or corporation that is one legal entity with one tax number.

In addition, Nuance offers three optional programs that help you implement ScanSoft software in your organisation at a reduced cost.

• Nuance Diamond Support Program
  The Nuance Diamond Support Program offers an easy access towards support of Nuance products.
