Software License Trade-in for AlphaServer

Software License Trade-in and Transfer for Moving to Integrity Server
HP offers generous cross-platform software license trade-in and transfer policies for operating systems and HP-layered products to simplify the transition to HP Integrity servers. HP has enhanced these policies to include trade-in of HP Tru64 UNIX layered products to their VERITAS equivalent products. If you have valid support contracts with right-to-new versions, you can trade in those licenses for the equivalent destination licenses at no charge.

For more information see:
»  HP software license trade-in and transfer policy

Note: there will be changes to the trade-in policies as of July 31, 2009.

StorageWorks Investment Protection

The HP HSG80/AlphaServer Storage Program (PDF, 99KB) allows for discounts on trade-ins.

You may also need to plan migration of your storage infrastructure. The OS Storage Support Matrix will help you identify whether you will need new storage hardware as you transition to HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i. If your storage array is not in this table or you are using direct-attached SCSI storage with your AlphaServer, you must purchase a storage environment supported by HP-UX 11i.
