E-Delivery Overview

Today, more customers are choosing Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) as their preferred means of taking ownership of software they have purchased. ESD is a method of delivering software in the form of a downloadable file via the Internet, and has a number of advantages over packaged software shipping and delivery:
  • Software product fulfillment is faster
  • There is no longer any need to store and keep track of numerous paper licenses and boxes
  • Software deployment is easier for customers with distributed computing environments
  • Software acquisition costs are lower because certain U.S. states don’t apply state sales tax to software fulfilled through ESD.

To provide you with these benefits, HP is pleased to offer its own ESD program, called HP E-Delivery. HP E-Delivery also enables HP to streamline its own operations, reduce internal costs, and minimize impact on the environment by eliminating paper, boxes, and shipping overhead.

HP StorageWorks Software Products Supporting E-Delivery

E-Delivery is available today for:
  • HP Data Protector, HP’s enterprise-class backup and recovery software family
  • HP Storage Essentials, HP’s open, heterogeneous storage resource management and SAN management software family

To take advantage of the benefits of HP E-Delivery, make sure you ask your HP reseller, HP Storage Elite partner, or HP account manager to specify E-Delivery product numbers when ordering any StorageWorks Software product that is available through the E-Delivery program.

The only other thing you’ll need to do is provide an e-mail address along with your order. You’ll automatically receive an e-mail with a download key and a link to your electronic delivery site. You have up to 30 days from the date of purchase to download or re-download your StorageWorks Software products.

After you've used HP E-Delivery, you'll also want to take advantage of HP's electronic software update process, a complementary program that ensures you'll remain eligible for the U.S. state sales tax exemption noted above.

HP E-Delivery is another example of how HP is making it easier and more cost-effective for our customers to do business with us.
