If you're able to forecast your software needs over a three-year period, you can take advantage of our flexible, volume-based licensing program for academic institutions. Designed to help reduce the total cost of software ownership, Academic Select is a transactional model with regular monthly confirmations of new licences and flexible payment options.
This is the recommended licensing agreement for all institutions wanting a perpetual licence. Colleges and Universities are typically of sufficient size to take advantage of a Select agreement. Schools and smaller institutions should contact their Local Authority, many of whom are Master Select Agreement holders and therefore have access to Select pricing on behalf of their schools and other educational establishments.
Benefits include:
- Simple, convenient licence acquisition
- Extensive range of products
- Software Assurance option
- Optional Student Select programme
