Sally / Jason

The new system addition language appears to some if us that worry about channel conflict to be a problem in an Office license.

The language is below:

.. COMPANY may elect to include as Customer System(s) new models which .. must have a unique model number of model name used for internal and external identification purposes which distinguishes it from any model which COMPANY has designated previously as a Customer System.

For Dell on Office, I am going to make this language to be "by mutual agreement" and instead will require our approval before a new model is licensed.

Sorry, but I can't follow what you want to do here.

I have eliminated it for the Dell Office agreement. We do not want Dell to have the ability to automatically license a model for Office without our usual channel restrictions.
