Who can join the Developer Program? The Nortel Developer Program welcomes companies that develop complementary solutions, existing or planned, which connect to one or more Nortel systems through those interfaces supported through the program. The Developer Program welcomes commercial companies seeking to create products for sale to mutual Nortel customers, as well as existing Nortel customers seeking to develop customized applications and/or integrations for their own internal use. How do I join? All members join the Developer Program at the level of Open Developer: Our enrollment process is quick and easy, with application on-line using our Open Developer Enrollment form. After you have submitted your application to the Developer Program office, your application will be reviewed by Nortel. Upon review (which may take up to 10 business days) and approval, each company must sign and return the Developer Program Open Developer Terms and Conditions, along with a credit card authorization form covering the membership fee. Upon activation, each member will receive an email confirmation of acceptance along with additional program details and documentation. Included in this communication will be an assigned User ID and Password for accessing the Members Center section of the Developer Program website. Will I have to sign a new Terms and Conditions document every year? The T&C agreement your company signs for Membership will remain in effect throughout your company's membership, unless there are Developer Program changes requiring a re-signing. It is automatically renewable. Are there different levels of program membership? There are two levels of membership for which you can apply: Open Developer and Developer Partner. All members must first join at the Open Developer level. Back to top Is there a membership fee? There is an annual membership fee for the Open Developer level.

Some toolkits are bundled with a limited amount of technical support; additional technical support is purchased in hourly increments.
