Microsoft Campus Agreement is an annual licensing programme
created specifically for further and higher education. Through a
flexible and simple format, it allows you to count people instead
of machines, making it easier for you to licence and distribute
software with significant savings.
How it works
You can licence a department or the entire institution. The
agreement is based on counting the number of staff employed over
200 hours per year (FTE's) and multiplying that by the number of
products you wish to use. This is your unit count and the minimum
count for eligibility for the agreement is 300 units. Each product
has a separate price and this is multiplied by the number of FTE's
to reach the cost for one year or multiplied by three for the three
year option. Departments can be combined at the time of signing to
reach the minimum level. If other departments wish to join after
signing, they will be required to sign their own Campus agreement,
or wait until the 12-month agreement term is over and sign a joint
agreement.
There are two pricing levels:
- Level A = 300 - 2999 unit count
- Level B = 3000+ unit count
Institutions can also licence students providing they have a
faculty agreement in place. Minimum unit count for eligibility is
300, and institutions can choose to licence a specific number of
students or the entire population.
Microsoft Campus Agreement allows you to run a selection of
licensed software for 12 or 36 months (depending on the term of
agreement selected) including all upgrades.
At the end of the agreement you have the following options:
- Renew the agreement
- Exit Campus agreement - remove software
- Exit Campus agreement - buy software under Select
- Exit Campus agreement - upgrade to a perpetual licence through
the "buy out" option
Term of agreement
Microsoft Campus Agreement can be signed for either a one or
three year term. If the agreement is signed for three years then on
each anniversary date you need to restate your staff count and you
may also add in extra products if you wish.
