Premier Reseller Program
Through SIIA's Premier Reseller Program™, SIIA recognizes outstanding software resellers and promotes them to potential software buyers.
Premier Resellers™ are vendors who provide outstanding value and service to their customers. Premier Resellers™ are recognized because of the accuracy and completeness of their record-keeping processes. The value Premier Reseller's™ give their customers is necessary for the efficient execution of SIIA's software audit program.
SIIA believes that companies should choose vendors (like Premier Resellers™) who excel in demonstrating that their clients have accurately purchased software commensurate with their needs. If, for example, during the course of an audit, SIIA investigates a company that has been fulfilling its software needs through a Premier Reseller™, we can be reasonably confident that the company has probably purchased licenses for as much software as it is currently using. In many, if not all cases, a potential target's affiliation with a Premier Reseller™ has greatly improved and expedited the settlement process. We expect that companies that purchase from Premier Resellers™ are likely to have lower (or even no) penalties when compared to companies that buy their software from non-certified vendors. Customers of Premier Resellers™ have the confidence of knowing that, if audited by SIIA, the documentation they provide can be quickly evaluated and their claims easily confirmed.
The Premier Reseller™ designation can also be used to differentiate a reseller from its competitors. In addition to SIIA's promotion of the Premier Resellers™, we believe the Premier Reseller™ program is a tremendous promotional opportunity. Further benefits of the Premier Reseller™ designation include: SIIA's advertisement of Premier Resellers™ in its software training courses, placement of company logos on the anti-piracy section of SIIA's website and a certification letter from SIIA which can be used in customer communications.

Certified Software Reseller (CSR) Program
The sale of counterfeit and other illegal software diminishes consumer confidence in the legitimacy of software purchased online. Some of the largest and most damaging counterfeiting and piracy problems take place on auction sites. As a result, SIIA created the Certified Software Reseller (CSR) Program™ as a means of combating software auction site piracy by helping consumers distinguish between legal and illegal software when purchasing software online. The purpose of the CSR™ program is to provide purchasers of software with more tools by which to distinguish between legal and illegal software. Buyers can look for the CSR™ logo on an auction listing as a way to identify whether a seller has agreed only to sell legal software by participating in the CSR™ program. Participation in the CSR™ program is available to any individual or entity that is willing to adhere to the terms of the program.
