GENERAL PURCHASING INFORMATION
NVIDIA vGPU software products can be purchased through Ingram Micro & NVIDIA Partners.
NVIDIA vGPU software products can be purchased as either perpetual licenses with yearly Support Updates and Maintenance agreement (SUMS), or as an annual subscription. The perpetual license gives the user the right to use the software indefinitely, with no expiration. All NVIDIA vGPU software products with perpetual licenses must be purchased in conjunction with four, or five year of SUMS. One year SUMS is available only for renewals.
The annual subscription offering is a more affordable option to allow IT departments to better manage the flexibility of license volumes. NVIDIA vGPU software products with annual subscription are bundled with SUMS for the duration of the software’s subscription license.
