Microsoft Volume Licensing for Academic Institutions
 
Microsoft creates software that empowers educational institutions, teachers and students to do what they do best: interact, collaborate, and learn. With the various discounts available to educational institutions-and their faculty, staff, and students-you get the best software at the best prices.

Programs Overview
Reduce costs associated with acquiring, upgrading, maintaining, and managing software by taking advantage of simple and flexible volume-based pricing, during this upcoming fiscal year. By licensing all your desktops and laptops, you significantly lower the liability associated with illegally installed software.

If your institution needs five or more copies of Microsoft software, you will get the best prices by participating in a Microsoft Academic Volume Licensing program. Follow these steps to learn more about the programs and how to participate:

Step 1: Choose Licensing Option

Types of Academic Volume licensing programs
We offer our education customers the option of both subscription and transactional licensing.

Through Microsoft subscription licensing programs, Campus Agreement and School Agreement, you have the right to run a selection of products, and any upgrades or downgrades of those products, throughout your one or three year licensed period. Even if the number of computers or users grows, you remain fully licensed for the term. You can also license students for use of selected products on a personally owned computer or an institution-owned computer checked out to a student for the school year. In addition, you automatically receive the benefits of Software Assurance Membership.

With Microsoft transactional licensing programs, Academic Open License and Academic Select License, you acquire perpetual licenses (that is, you own the licenses), while eliminating the costs and packaging of retail software. You also have the option of enrolling your licenses in Software Assurance, which entitles you to product upgrades that release during the agreement term, eLearning courses, and more.

Select from these convenient licensing options to find a solution that is just right:
School & Campus Agreement:
Offering more product choices and a more flexible Buy-out option. Also, you now have the ability to license your students with the Student Option. Find out more about school and campus agreement with the student option in the resources section or by visiting Microsoft website
