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 different 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 SoftwareOne accepts them.

Accessing the marketplace

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

Exploring and selecting products

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

2. Selecting a licensee - Choose an existing licensee or create a new one.

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

4. Selecting the items - Choose the items you want to order and the quantity of those items.
