VMware license buyback

Sell your VMware licenses to VSHIFT.

VSHIFT reviews your portfolio of perpetual VMware licenses held in Europe. If you are leaving VMware, the buyback value may contribute to reducing the net cost of migration.

Each portfolio is reviewed before any proposal: ownership, license type, scope, evidence, transfer conditions and the holder's location.

Offer limited to perpetual licenses held in Europe

Portfolio review

What we examine

License value cannot be inferred from an old list price alone. We first establish a usable evidence file.

  • Products, versions and license metrics involved
  • Number of sockets, cores, hosts or instances
  • Perpetual licenses and associated term dates
  • Invoices, contracts, certificates or proof of ownership
  • Support history, transfer constraints and European scope

After qualification

A clear file before you decide

  • An identified and documented license scope
  • Items to confirm before any transfer
  • A value assessment based on the evidence provided
  • A VSHIFT buyback proposal and its potential effect on net migration cost
