Open LicenceThe most cost-effective perpetual licensing agreement is Academic Select. The vast majority of Educational institutions in the UK should have access to a Select Agreement through their Local Authority or central organisation. In a few circumstances the Microsoft Academic Open Licence provides an easy way to stay compliant when purchasing and administering smaller numbers of licences. It offers a volume licensing option for small- to medium-sized schools, college, or university departments requiring five or more licences, that do not have access to Select through their Local Authority, college or university. Benefits include: - Savings off retail Microsoft software
- Broad range of products
- Access to current versions via the Software Assurance option
- Quick online licence confirmation and purchase history with eOpen
