How to Buy Products in the Marketplace

The Marketplace Platform is a centralized hub designed to streamline the discovery and ordering of subscription-based software products.

The platform simplifies the complex process of software licensing and procurement, making it easier for you to find and compare products from multiple software vendors in one place. Each product on our marketplace undergoes a process, where vendors define the product including its terms of use, and submit it to SoftwareOne. Products become available for ordering only after they have been accepted by SoftwareOne.

Accessing the marketplace

You can access the SoftwareOne Marketplace by signing in to your account and selecting Marketplace > Products from the main menu.

Browsing and selecting products

The Products page shows all the products that are available for you to order. The page displays products by the vendor name and a brief product description.

  2. Select a licensee - Choose a licensee from the list of your licensees or create a new one.

  3. Provide agreement details - Fill out the contact form.

  5. Add reference details - Add the optional order and agreement details.

  6. Review order - Preview the order details and then click Place order to finalize.
