REBATES

+volume licensing. Catalyst licenses work on economies of scale, which means that the price you pay for any license may go up or down depending upon the volume of licenses purchased. In some cases, a license for a single component may be of little or no cost due to the total dollar amount of your solution. In other cases, licenses for the same component will decrease in cost up to the point of FREE LICENSES due to the volume of licenses purchased.
+rebate package. The structure of your total rebate package is negotiated according to the volume and type of licenses under your solution and may be adjusted when licenses are added or subtracted from your solution. Your Catalyst contractor will identify your rebates when a quote is offered. The examples below describe rebates that you might expect to see, depending upon your solution:
