Apple has contacted developers to inform them that Mac applications will soon be eligible for its Volume Purchase Program, which gives businesses and educational institutions the ability to purchase software in bulk at a discounted rates.

“We’re pleased to announce that Mac apps will soon be eligible to participate in the Volume Purchase Program for Business and Education,” the email reads. “The Volume Purchase Program allows businesses or educational institutions to purchase multiple copies of your app at once.”

Apple first launched its Volume Purchase Program for iOS apps in July 2011. Not only did it give those who needed it the ability to purchase multiple copies of an app at one time, but it also gave developers the ability to offer discounts on their titles when purchased in bulk.
