​Subscription Licensing Programs

Subscription licensing gives you the rights to run a selection of products, and any upgrades or downgrades of those products, for a designated term. A subset of products including specific application, system, and Client Access License (CAL) products, designated by Microsoft as “desktop platform products,” are licensed on an organization-wide basis.  For these, “desktop platform products" you place an order for a quantity that is equal to the number of PC/ devices or Full-time Equivalent (FTE) personnel depending on the enrollment your organization chooses. For products licensed organization-wide, even if the number of devices or users grows, you remain fully licensed throughout the designated term, and you only need to report an increase in the number of your PC / devices or Full-time Equivalent (FTE) employees on your annual order. Options are also available that enable students to use selected products on personally owned computers or on institution-owned computers assigned to them.

​Microsoft has two subscription licensing offerings for education customers, the Enrollment for Education Solutions and the School Enrollment. All products licensed through either subscription offering include Software Assurance; a comprehensive maintenance offering that helps you maximize your investment.

Program Options

Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES)

EES is available to both primary/secondary and higher education institutions, and offers the simplicity of counting people instead of PCs/devices and the flexibility to add additional products as needed.

School Enrollment

School Enrollment is designed for primary/secondary schools and preschools, and offers the simplicity of licensing all products organization-wide where you can order any product for a quantity that matches the annual count of your organization’s PCs/devices.
