*NFR license for a Business Partner is provided under the certain conditions described in the Dealer Agreement.

**NFR licenses are provided to the Partners with not-for-resale obligation and can be used for testing and demonstration purposes. Licenses are sent automatically after reaching the Certified or Gold Certified level.
You will receive a message from the Partner Department that will provide new discount and partner certificates (.pdf). The certificate is valid for one one year and cannot be withdrawn even if the partner certification conditions has changed.

To become a Certified Partner it is necessary:


1. To obtain the needed number of certificates on the specified training courses.

It doesn’t matter how many specialists obtained the needed number of certificates. The certified specialists’ accounts should be specified in the partner’s description.

2. To get the needed number of points.

You can obtain the points for:

• selling licenses, additional sites, upgrades, and support extension of Bitrix Site Manager;
• selling licenses, support extension, and additional users of Bitrix Intranet Portal;
  
• opening projects based on the Bitrix software.

Extra points can be added by:

• opening large-scale and distinguished projects;
• making complex additional system modules or products based on the Bitrix software;
• holding seminars on the software;
• launching advertising campaigns;
• submitting the product description to paid catalogs and other advertising channels;
• making the product PR placement;
• creating the product localization and localization updates;
• providing tech support to the clients;
• writing a feedback for testimonials;
• getting positive feedback from customers.

Obtaining extra points can be limited by Bitrix. Special requests should be sent to the Partners Department to receive extra points if appropriate.

Submit your request here.

The best way to get extra points is to publish a Bitrix project with a well-written description and screenshots on our site.

It is possible to get the same points for selling license and opening a project. Points are added automatically for additional site licenses, upgrades, support extensions, and additional users.

	Editions	Sale	Project
	Bitrix Intranet Portal	130	130
	Bitrix Site Manager
	Start	20	20
	Standard	50	50
	Small Business	90	90
	Professional	99	99
	Enterprise	199	199
	Premium	639	639
	Ultimate	799	799

For example, to get 500 points you should:

• Sell two Enterprise editions, one Professional edition and one Start edition.
or
• Sell one Enterprise edition, one Start edition and open one Enterprise and one Professional edition.
or
• Sell or open 25 projects based on Start edition.
or
• Sell or open 10 Standard editions.
or
• Sell one Enterprise edition and open 3 sites using multisite configuration.

As seen from the last example, it is possible to obtain points by opening projects using multisite configurations. These projects are counted as full licenses because the same time and efforts has been spent.

All the points are added to the partner’s account automatically.

When publishing a project in the Bitrix Gallery, the points are added after project moderation. It is possible to add the project and check the “not to be published” box (the project will be opened and still it will not appear on the site). This will help partners obtain points for the projects that cannot be published.
