Open Licence

The 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.
