Description

From a vendor perspective, Lenovo finished the calendar year in first place for the sixth consecutive year, extending its lead over HP Inc. by 100 basis points. HP Inc. and Dell remained firmly second and third, respectively. Lenovo and HP Inc. fielded positive growth, while Dell saw market contractions. Much of this can be attributed to inventory replenishment opportunities in the channel that tend to favor HP Inc. and Lenovo. Apple, ASUS, Acer, and Huawei all gained share in the prior year, while holding onto the next four positions.This IDC study presents the worldwide PC market shares for 2024 and 4Q24.“The past year was really about unfulfilled promise,” states Linn Huang, research vice president, Devices and Displays at IDC. “With so many older PCs due for refresh and so many business PCs still running Windows 10, 2024 should have been a bigger year. Hopefully, that just spells a much larger 2025.”

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
