Providing customers with discounts, free software and services, offers and training that are tailored to fit the needs of SMBs, HP Access is part of the HP Total Care program, which helps businesses get more value from their HP purchases.
Previously offered at a list price of $49, HP Access is now free with the purchase of any HP product. Customers wanting to participate simply request an access code and they will receive an email from HP with the information and a link to the HP Access website.

HP also has expanded the program for its channel partners, allowing them to pass along benefits to their customers. For customers purchasing products from a channel partner, the email containing the access code will come from the partner.
