### Choose the License Model That Fits Your Business

NVIDIA virtual GPU software can be purchased by enterprise customers per concurrent user (CCU) as an annual subscription or perpetual license or per GPU as an annual subscription. With software sold separately from the physical GPU, you have maximum flexibility to deploy on the GPU that is best suited for your data center and can stay current with the latest features and enhancements released throughout the year.

A current SUMs contract (Support, Upgrade, and Maintenance) ensures you have access to technical support – including notification of new software releases, help implementing updates and patches, access to the latest drivers for your apps, and maintenance.

Purchase is available from our network of [qualified partners](https://www.nvidia.com/object/grid-partners.html).
