Microsoft U.S. academic retail pricing
Learn more about Microsoft U.S. academic retail pricing. If you are an education customer who needs four or fewer licenses of Microsoft products, you might be eligible for discounts on boxed retail versions of Microsoft software by acquiring the Academic Edition full packaged product (FPP). The Academic Edition FPP is the same software as the retail version. The only differences are the Academic Edition label and the discount price.
If you need five or more licenses, you'll get even bigger discounts through our
Academic Volume Licensing programs. More information about academic retail pricing on Microsoft products follows.
How to buy
Academic Edition full packaged product (FPP) can be acquired from many software retailers, campus bookstores, and other
