  2. When the Customize your plan window opens, select your preferred Bundle Type and Billing Frequency
  3. Next, select a BI package, the number of users, and the apps you want to include in the plan. The system automatically calculates the total cost as you make your selection. 

    Example:

    Selected bundle - Startup Bundle

    Number of users - 14 

    The Startup Bundle gives access to up to 10 users. Because the users are more than 10, you must purchase four slots for additional users.   

                   Calculation: 

                    Total Cost =   Startup Bundle ($700)  +  Extra number of Users  x  cost per user (4 x $70 = $280)

                                     =  $700 + $280

                                     = $980

    Also included in the Startup is your selection of up to four BI packages. You can change this selection later.


  4. Click Next when done selecting. 
  5. When the Your Order window appears, review the details of your order and click the Proceed To Checkout button. 
  6. Lastly, review the details of your account, and click Pay (amount) & Subscribe to complete your order.
