		<description>NFR software is not only not-for-resale, it is also not for production use at all if you look at the restrictions carefully. So it wouldn&#039;t stand to reason that you could get SA on what is effectively an unlimited evaluation product.

That of course is my understanding and I recommend you contact your PCM, PAM or t-PAM for clarification.</description>

		<description>Does this include NFR software?  We have a ton of it laying around.

Also, re: the billing - you may consider listing the software at full price on the invoice and on a seperate line item apply the discount.  The end result is the same, but you have the ability to assign the discount to a &quot;charity&quot; category to make your back-end accounting much easier.

We also do the same for discounts - apply the full rate on each line item and then add &quot;Courtesy&quot; or &quot;Non-Profit&quot; discount line items at the bottom.  

Also, you are showing your client the actual value of the charity and at the end of the year, you will have a nice tally of the charity, discount and freebies for the year.
