Introduction
This guide provides information to help you understand the Microsoft Campus Agreement licensing program and deploy and manage your software licenses. It is provided for informational purposes only. Your licensed product use is governed by the terms of your licensing agreement. The Microsoft Licensing Product Use Rights (PUR) document, which is updated regularly, provides additional details regarding current use rights for specific Microsoft products acquired through Volume Licensing programs. For a copy of the current PUR, please go to http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/.

Academic Volume Licensing Overview

For education customers who license software in quantity and manage software across multiple computers, Microsoft Volume Licensing programs may provide the most costeffective way to acquire licenses. Microsoft offers both subscription and transactional volume licensing programs for education customers.

Subscription Licensing
With subscription licensing programs, you have the right to run a selection of products, and any upgrades or downgrades of those products, for a designated term. For application, system, and Client Access License (CAL) products, even if the number of computers or users grows, you remain fully licensed throughout the designated term, and you only need to report increases on your Full-time Equivalent (FTE) employees on your annual order. Microsoft has two subscription licensing programs for education customers. Campus Agreement is for higher education institutions and offers the simplicity of counting people instead of computers. School Agreement is for K-12 schools and preschools and makes it easy to license all of a schools eligible PCs by counting them just once per year. Campus Agreement is explained in detail in the guide. Subscription licensing offers many benefits, including: Easy compliance. Because all of your institutions computers and users are covered throughout the subscription term, its easy to be sure that your institution is fully licensed for the products youve selected. Low administration. Subscription licensing eliminates the need to track licenses for the selected products on every computer. This is especially helpful for managing software assets in a decentralized environment. Current technology. Subscription licensing allows your licensed users to run the most current version of the software products included in your subscription. Simple budgeting and purchasing. One annual payment covers all of the products you have selected for the year. Excellent value. By standardizing on a platform of products, you may reduce your total IT costs while helping to increase productivity and access to current technology. Software Assurance Membership (SAM) is included with your license coverage at no additional charge. You also receive one complimentary membership to the MSDN Academic Alliance or MSDN Academic Alliance High School program.

Transactional Licensing
With transactional volume licensing programs, you acquire perpetual software licenses (meaning your institution has a perpetual, everlasting license) while eliminating the costs and packaging of retail software. Microsoft has three transactional volume licensing programs for education customers: Microsoft Open License for Academic, Microsoft Select License for Academic, and Microsoft Select Plus for Academic.

Open License for Academic

Open License for Academic is a widely accessible and cost-effective way for small education institutions to license Microsoft software, starting with as few as five licenses. You simply determine the number of software licenses your institution wishes to acquire and place the order with an authorized reseller. You also have the option to include Software Assurance with your licenses. After obtaining licenses, you can order installation media from a Microsoftapproved fulfillment source for a fee. License confirmations are distributed electronically and posted on a password-protected Internet site.

Select License for Academic

Select License for Academic provides volume licensing for medium and large institutions with approximately 250 or more PCs who are able to forecast their license needs over a three-year period. Each product within Select License for Academic has an assigned point value, which allows your institution to establish a special Academic price level by meeting a minimum forecast of license acquisitions. With Select License for Academic, you can add Software Assurance to an individual license, or you can select Software Assurance Membership (SAM) for an entire pool of products. You can also pass on the savings of Select License for Academic to your students by including a Student Select enrollment with your Select License for Academic agreement. Select License for Academic is available through an Authorized Education Large Account Reseller (LAR). To locate a LAR in the U.S. or Canada, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/education/LARs.mspx.

Select Plus for Academic

Select Plus for Academic is the newest transactional program for medium and large institutions with approximately 250 or more PCs. Select Plus for Academic offers the advantages of a non-expiring agreement, the flexibility to acquire licenses as needed, a single customer ID to streamline account management across multiple affiliates, student licensing through Student Select Plus, and the ability to add value with a full 36 months of Software Assurance. Select Plus for Academic is available through an Authorized Education Large Account Reseller (LAR). To locate a LAR in the U.S. or Canada, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/education/LARs.mspx.

Purchasing Campus Agreement Coverage

Campus Agreement coverage is available through any Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller (AER). AERs are authorized to sell Microsoft Academic Edition products and volume licenses to qualified education users.

Campus Agreement Features

Simple Compliance and Administration
Because you license the products selected in your subscription for use on all of the institutionowned or leased computers within the participating department(s) (excluding server products), Campus Agreement makes it easy for administrators and users to know that the product use is compliant. Although you report a specific FTE employee count when submitting your order, any new faculty or staff members added to the participating department(s) are licensed to use the product on the covered computers during the subscription year. Your students can use the licensed product on computers in classrooms or open access labs. To license your students for use of the licensed product on a personally owned machine or on an institution-owned machine designated for an individual students exclusive use, your institution may enroll in the Student Option (see The Student Option).

Counting Faculty/Staff FTE Employees

Campus Agreement pricing for any application, system, and CAL products you select is based on a count of your total faculty/staff FTE employees and requires organization- or departmentwide coverage. To that end, you must include all FTE employees in the participating institution(s) or departments(s) (including student employees) using the calculation below. Please note: These FTE counts are the same numbers institutions in the United States report to the federal government on IPEDS Form S.

Full-time faculty

Part-time faculty 3

Full-time staff

Part-time staff 2

Total faculty/staff FTE

For example, you have 2,000 full-time faculty, 3,000 part-time faculty, 1,000 full-time staff, and 1,000 part-time staff. The FTE count is calculated as follows: 2,000 + (3000 3) + 1,000 + (1000 2) = 4,500 FTE Please note: If you are outside the United States, the method for counting FTE may differ. Please contact your local reseller for details.

Program Eligibility
To qualify for the Campus Agreement program in the United States, you must be a highereducation institution (or administrative office or board of education of a higher-education institution) that is organized and operated exclusively for teaching its enrolled students. Also, an accrediting agency nationally recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education must institutionally accredit your institution.

Hospitals and healthcare systems are not eligible to acquire Campus Agreement unless a qualified educational institution wholly owns and operates them. Wholly owned and operated means that the educational institution is the sole owner of the hospital or healthcare system (including all of the organizations assets) and the only entity exercising control over the hospitals day-to-day operations. You can find additional information on 5

determining if an entity is wholly owned and operated by an educational institution at http://www.microsoft.com/education/Eligible.mspx. Please note: Eligibility for academic Volume Licensing varies by region. Please check with your regional Microsoft subsidiary for eligibility requirements. For U.S. customers, refer to http://www.microsoft.com/education/Eligible.mspx for more information. To locate your regional Microsoft Volume Licensing Web site, go to http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/index/worldwide.mspx.

Aggregate Groups/Consortia
Special approval from Microsoft is required for aggregate groups (such as a consortium of independent colleges) to enter into a Campus Agreement. Please contact your Microsoft representative for more information.

Term
You have the option of choosing a one-year or three-year licensed period when completing the subscription enrollment. In either case, you submit an annual order with your reseller specifying the licensed product selections for the year.

One-Year Subscription Option

This option provides you with temporary license coverage for 12 months. At the end of the licensed period, you can extend the coverage for another 12 months by submitting an extension order through your reseller. You must place the extension order before the expiration of your current licensed period. With your extension order, you need to include an updated FTE count, any changes to your product selections, and a new Student Option count (if you chose the Student Option).

Three-Year Subscription Option

You also have the option of subscribing for a three-year licensed period. If you choose the three-year option and comply with the ordering requirements identified below, Microsoft will not increase the per-unit pricing to your distributor for your anniversary orders above the prices for the initial licensed product order. Please note: Your reseller determines your actual annual pricing. For this reason, Microsoft cannot guarantee that your per-unit pricing for years two and three will not change. Please discuss pricing details with your reseller. By choosing the three-year subscription option, in addition to your initial order, you agree to submit an anniversary order prior to (or on) the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of your subscription enrollment. If you do not submit an order, your subscription enrollment will be terminated. The anniversary orders must be for at least the same quantity of all licensed product ordered in the first year. For example, if the total number of FTE employees for Year 2 decreases from 250 to 245, the anniversary order would include 250 FTE employees. If the number of FTE employees increases for Year 2, but decreases for Year 3, the Year 3 anniversary order can reflect that decrease in FTE employees, but the decrease must not fall below the number of FTE employees included on the Year 1 order. If the number of FTE employees increases, you must include those FTE employees on your anniversary order. For example, if the total number of FTE employees increases from 250 to 300 during the first year, you must include 300 FTE employees on the anniversary order for any application, system, or CAL products. If you selected the Student Option in your original order, you may also increase, but not decrease, the number of students included in your Student Option. 6

The individual license prices we charge your distributor with respect to all additional FTE employees and/or students will be consistent with the prices charged for your original order. When you submit your anniversary order, you may also order any licensed product that was not part of your initial order. The price that Microsoft charges your distributor for products not ordered previously will be the current price on our price lists. Microsoft will not increase this price for the remainder of the licensed period.

Additional Orders
Whether you choose the one-year or three-year subscription, you may place licensed product orders with your reseller at any time during the year after your initial order. When you place an additional order, you will be charged a pro-rated price based on the number of months remaining in your annual term, with a minimum price of 50 percent of the full annual perproduct price. For instance, if you order a product at month three, you will pay for nine months (.75 x the annual per-product price). If you order a product at month nine, you will pay for six months (.5 x the annual per-product price).

Product Availability
You may order subscription licenses for a wide selection of Microsoft software through the Campus Agreement program. Please refer to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Product List at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/ for a complete list of currently available products.

Campus Agreement Desktop Packages

If you prefer to license your computers and users for a standard set of desktop PC licensed products, Microsoft provides the following Desktop packages, which offer a discounted price over the cost of licensing the products individually. The Campus Desktop package includes: Windows Vista Enterprise Upgrade Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Microsoft Core CAL Suite

The Campus Desktop with Enterprise CAL includes: Windows Vista Enterprise Upgrade Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite

As with all products licensed through your Campus Agreement, you have the option of deploying downgrade versions (previous versions) in place of the current licensed version. For instance, you may choose to deploy the Windows XP Professional operating system instead of the Windows Vista Enterprise operating system.

Minimum Order Requirement

You have the ability to select the individual product(s) you want to license through your Campus Agreement. Pricing for application, system, and CAL products is based on a count of your total faculty/staff FTE employees and requires institution- or department-wide coverage of the products selected. 7

Your first order under a Campus subscription enrollment must be for a minimum of 300 units. You determine the total units covered under your subscription enrollment by combining your application, system, and CAL units with your server units. You can choose any individual product or combination of products to meet this requirement.

Calculating Units for Application, System, and CAL Products

To determine your total units for the application, system, and CAL products you have selected, multiply the total number of application, system, and CAL products selected by your total number of faculty/staff FTE employees. (Non-knowledge workers, such as maintenance, grounds keeping, and cafeteria staff may be excluded from the faculty/staff FTE employee count if they do not use institutional computers.) Unit values for application, system, and CAL products are not weightedeach has a unit value of one. (Please refer to the Volume Licensing Product List at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/ to verify unit values for individual products.) Please note: You cannot select application, system, and CAL products for only a portion of the FTE employees included in your subscription. For instance, if your subscription is for 300 FTE employees, the application, system, and CAL products you select will be for all 300 FTE employees, even if only a portion of those FTE employees will use a particular product. We realize that not all products are used at the same rate. Pricing is set to reflect the typical use rates for each product. For instance, the per-FTE employee price for Microsoft Office Project is priced based on fewer FTE employees using it than some of the other products. For example, an institution with 300 FTE employees could submit an order for just one application, system, or CAL product and meet the minimum requirement of 300 units. The institution would then calculate their total units for application, system, and CAL products as follows:
3 (Number of application, system, and CAL products selected)

100 (FTE count)

300 Application, system, and CAL units

Calculating Units for Server Products

For server products, you multiply the unit value for the server product by the number ordered. Each server product is assigned a unit value, which is published in the Volume Licensing Product List at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/. If the same institution as in the example above orders two Microsoft SQL Server Standard Processor Licenses, it would calculate their server units like this:
50 (Unit value of SQL Server Standard Processor License)

2 (Number ordered)

100 Sever Units

By combining their application, system, and CAL units with their server units, they reach a total of 400 unitsexceeding the 300-unit minimum requirement.

300 (Application , system, and CAL units)

100 (Server units)

400 Total units

Tiered Institution Pricing

Some application and system products are offered at tiered pricing levels, depending on the total number of FTE employees included under your subscription enrollment. In these instances, pricing levels are determined as follows: # of FTE Less than 3000 3000 or more Pricing Level Level A Level B

Please contact your reseller for specific pricing for the appropriate level for your institution.

Campus Agreement Documents

When licensing Microsoft software through Campus Agreement, it is important that you review and understand the specific use rights granted by your license coverage. Below is an overview of four important documents that detail those rightsthe Microsoft Campus and School Agreement, the Microsoft Campus Subscription Enrollment, the Microsoft Volume Licensing Product Use Rights (PUR), and the Microsoft Volume Licensing Product List.

Microsoft Campus and School Agreement

The Microsoft Campus and School Agreement contains an overview of the program and general terms and conditions, plus details on such topics as distributing software to licensed users and Work at Home rights. The Campus and School Agreement has no expiration date. Once this agreement is in place, you do not have to sign another one when renewing your annual coverage.

Microsoft Campus Subscription Enrollment

The Microsoft Campus Subscription Enrollment is used to provide contact information, lists the participating departments, and enrolls you in the Student Option. This document also specifies the licensed period (one or three years) and the total FTE employee count that you will cover in the first annual order. Please note: The same entity that signs the Campus and School Agreement must sign all Campus subscription enrollments under that agreement.

Microsoft Volume Licensing Product Use Rights

The Microsoft Licensing Product Use Rights (PUR) document contains the product-specific terms and conditions that govern how Microsoft products can be used in the Volume Licensing programs. It is the equivalent of the End User License Agreement (EULA) that you would receive when purchasing a retail licensed product. Much of the wording is common to both the EULA and the PUR. This document is updated regularly. The PUR that is in effect as of the beginning of the licensed period for a particular product version applies to the use of the product throughout the licensed period. The use rights for a particular product version lock when a product is first ordered. If a new version is released, use of the new version is governed by the most current PUR as of the time of that release. You can access the most current PUR at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/. 9

Microsoft Volume Licensing Product List

The Microsoft Volume Licensing Product List provides information monthly about Microsoft licensed product and Online Services licensed through Microsoft Volume Licensing programs. The information described in the Product List includes the availability of new software and products offered through Microsoft Volume Licensing, the point or unit value and unit count for each software and product technology, available promotions, migration paths from one version of licensed product to another version of that same product, Software Assurance benefits, and more. The Product List is updated monthly. You can access the most current Product List at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/.

Special Use Rights

Work at Home Rights
Your institution may offer limited Work at Home (WAH) rights to your faculty and staff members only at no extra license charge. (The school may incur some costs for obtaining and distributing the WAH media.) These limited rights permit using application, system, and CAL products on a personally owned computer for work-related purposes only. You can choose to extend these rights to your faculty and staff members only for licensed products for which you have institutional licenses through your Campus Agreement. If you extend WAH rights, your institution accepts responsibility for communicating the terms and conditions to your faculty and staff members. This includes keeping accurate records of licensed product use and distribution and ensuring that your faculty and staff agree to the stated terms and conditions. For your convenience, we have provided a Faculty/Staff Acceptance Form that you may want to have your users sign when granting them WAH rights. This form is available at http://www.microsoft.com/education/WorkHome.mspx. Non-knowledge workers, such as maintenance, grounds keeping, and cafeteria staff are excluded from WAH rights if they were not included in the faculty/staff FTE employee count when placing the subscription order.

Distributing Media for Work at Home Use

You may distribute media to faculty and staff for WAH use using the following four methods only: Please note: These are the same distribution methods as used for Student Option media. 1. Purchase and distribute one copy of each applicable CD-ROM or disk set to each authorized user. You must purchase these CDs or disk sets (known as student media) from your reseller in minimum quantities of 25 per title up to the number of licensed users. You may not replicate media for Work at Home use. For a list of products for which CDs or disk sets are currently available, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/education/StudentMedia.mspx. 2. Allow controlled download from your secure network server(s) or other storage device(s) using Volume Licensing media that you acquired from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source for installation on your institution machines (i.e., Welcome CD Kit media). 3. Have users bring in their computers for manual installation by you at a central location that you control using Volume Licensing media acquired from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source. 10

4. Use a system of controlled short-term checkout of applicable Volume Licensing media (acquired from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source) solely for purposes of individual user installation. This option is available only for products for which a Volume Licensing Key (VLK) is not required (products that do not include Microsoft Product Activation). For a complete list of products that require VLKs, see http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/vol/default.mspx. You may not distribute VLKs to users for WAH use. Your reseller can assist you in determining which products require a VLK. For more information on VLKs, see Activating Your Products in this guide.

Home Use Program Rights

As a Campus Agreement customer, you may give your faculty and staff members access to the Microsoft Office system desktop PC programs to use on their personally owned computer through the Home Use Program (HUP). This is a benefit of Microsoft Software Assurance. With HUP, your faculty and staff members can get the Microsoft Office system programs to use on their home computer for both work and personal use at a nominal cost. Providing the HUP licensed product is easy for the institution, as the institution does not have to handle the distribution of the software. Once your Software Assurance benefits administrator activates the benefit, individual faculty and staff members can order and pay for shipping of their licensed product online. Please note: You are not permitted to provide licensed product for the same title to any individual faculty or staff member using both HUP and WAH.

For more information on HUP, please visit: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/benefits/home_use_rights.mspx.

Foreign Language Rights

During the term of the subscription, you are granted the right to run the licensed product in any available language. This includes the right to run the Multi-Language version of Microsoft Office and its corresponding features, such as a global interface and multi-language proofing tools.

Upgrade/Downgrade Rights
You are allowed to run any new versions of the licensed products included in your subscription coverage that are released during the licensed period. Additionally, you may run any previous version of the licensed product in place of the current version. These upgrade and downgrade rights also apply to the individual components of the licensed product.

Product Evaluation Rights

During the term of your subscription, you can also download products for trial purposes. The evaluation software bits for certain products are available for download from the Microsoft Volume License Services (MVLS) site at https://licensing.microsoft.com/. The evaluation period will end in 60 days from the day you received the product bits.

Software Assurance
Campus Agreement includes Software Assurance, Microsofts enhanced maintenance program that helps you get the most out of your software. Access to valuable benefits such as training, deployment planning, software upgrades, and product support can help you increase the productivity of your entire organization. Please note: Software Assurance benefits are subject to change. Please refer to the Microsoft Volume Licensing Product List at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/ to verify current benefits.

MSDN Academic Alliance Membership

For each Campus subscription enrollment, we provide one complimentary membership to the MSDN Developer Academic Alliance (Developer AA) or Designer Academic Alliance (Designer 13

AA) programs through electronic download only. This annual membership is available to customers as long as their Campus Agreement remains active. Developer AA is the same program that was previously referred to as MSDN AA. It is for institutions or departments that use IT technology in support of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. Developer AA provides Microsoft developer, operating system, and application software, including the Microsoft Visual Studio development system, Windows Vista, and Microsoft SQL Server, for instructional use in labs, classrooms, and on PCs of student enrolled in STEM courses. Designer AA is for institutions or departments that use technology in support of Visualization, Illustration, Design and Art (VIDA) courses. Designer AA provides Microsoft Expression design software and other Microsoft software for instructional use in labs, classrooms, and on PCs of students enrolled in VIDA courses. For more information about the memberships, including benefits and restrictions, the differences between Developer AA and Designer AA, and a complete list of the products provided, please visit http://www.msdnaa.net. While we provide the complimentary membership to customers with a Campus subscription enrollment, MSDN AA memberships are completely separate from the Campus Agreement program. The software licenses provided through the MSDN AA memberships carry certain restrictions that Campus Agreement licenses do not. You may use MSDN AA licensed product only for instructional and not-for-profit research purposes within the member department. You may not use the licensed product to run the infrastructure of the department or institution. You may not use licensed product provided through MSDN AA for the same institution-wide or department-wide use that is provided by ordering the same licensed product under your Campus subscription enrollment. For example, while Developer AA provides Microsoft Visual Studio to the member department for instructional purposes, this does not license you to use Visual Studio under your Campus subscription enrollment. If you want to license your faculty, staff, and/or students for the use of Visual Studio institution- or department-wide, you must order the product separately under your Campus subscription enrollment. You may use the MSDN AA membership for a single department. You may not share it among other member or non-member departments. You can acquire additional memberships through the MSDN AA Web site at http://www.msdnaa.net. You can register for your complimentary membership at https://registermsdn.one.microsoft.com/msdnaa/aa/newstep1.aspx using your Campus subscription enrollment number and a special promotion code, which you will receive with your Campus Agreement acceptance letter. (See Agreement and Order Confirmation below for more information.) Once your registration has been processed, you will receive a welcome e-mail to access your MSDN AA subscription and any licensed product updates will be posted on the MSDN AA download center.

Microsoft Live@edu
The Microsoft Live@edu program provides educational institutions with a set of free hosted and co-branded collaboration and communication services for students, alumni, and applicantsincluding Windows Live Hotmail and Office Live Workspace. Prior to June 1, 2008, customers who wished to participate in the program signed a separate agreement. As of June 1, 2008, that agreement is included as an option with the Campus and School Agreement. This integration allows Campus and School Agreement customers to have a single legal review and signing event that incorporates both agreements, which will streamline the experience. 14

For additional information about Microsoft Live@edu, visit http://get.liveatedu.com/. Please note: Microsoft Live@edu is not available in all regions.

Deploying Your Campus Agreement

Agreement and Order Confirmation
Within two weeks from submitting your subscription enrollment through your Authorized Education Reseller (AER), you will receive an acceptance letter from Microsoft. The acceptance letter will include the effective start and end dates of your licensed period, confirmation of your Campus Agreement distributor and reseller, and the promotion code for activating your complimentary MSDN AA membership. To avoid delays, you should submit your licensed product order to your reseller at the same time you submit your subscription enrollment. With your acceptance letter, you will also receive your Agreement Number and Subscription Enrollment Number. These are very important numbers as they are required to place orders for CDs with your reseller. You must place all CD orders with the reseller listed on your acceptance letter. If you want to change your reseller, see Changing Your Reseller in this guide. Once your software order is received, Microsoft will publish order confirmation information to the password-protected Microsoft Volume License Services (MVLS) Web site. The MVLS license management tool offers secure, personalized access to view your license agreements and status, online records, and other license information. You can also manage your Software Assurance benefits. You will need a Windows Live ID to access the site. On acceptance of the agreement and subscription enrollment, the contact you identified on the enrollment will be provided access to the site. Your order confirmation will also include any required Volume License Product Keys, part numbers for your licensed products, product descriptions, and quantities for the products you have ordered.

Receiving Your Software

Digital by Choice
Through the Digital by Choice initiative, you have the option to access your licensed software digitally, instead of receiving physical media. By choosing this option, you help Microsoft in our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for discs, packaging, and shipping. Please note: This is the default choice for all Volume Licensing programs (with the exception of the Microsoft ISV Royalty Licensing Program and Services Provider License Agreement). If you require physical media, you must complete a media order form. Your registered affiliates may choose their own media delivery preference (digital or physical).

Volume Licensing Product Fulfillment Kits

If you choose to receive physical media for your licensed software, media kits are customized according to the languages specified on the Campus Agreement media form. Media is sent at no charge only for the licensed products ordered. The Welcome Kit and Update Kits are automatically provided to the contacts specified on the Campus enrollment. Use the Product Fulfillment Users Guide Web site to help you manage the media kit.

Activating Your Products

Microsoft includes product activation technology in some licensed products that are sold through original equipment manufacturer (OEM), retail, and Volume Licensing channels. The Windows Vista operating system will require Volume Licensing customers to use a new type of activation, called Volume Activation. Volume Activation is a flexible solution that enables Volume Licensing customers to more securely and easily activate computers that are running Windows Vista. In the future, Volume Activation technology will be used for all Microsoft products, but it is being introduced in Windows Vista now. Learn more about how Product Activation works at http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/activation_how.mspx.

Volume Activation 1.0

Volume Activation 1.0 is the first generation of Volume License Keys. These keys bypass product activation. The 2007 Microsoft Office system will continue to use keys that bypass activation.

Volume Activation 2.0

Beginning with Windows Vista, there will be two types of Volume License Keys: Multiple Activation Keys and Key Management Service. Multiple Activation Key The Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activates either individual computers or a group of computers by connecting directly to Microsoft servers over the Internet or by telephone. The keys can be used a limited number of times. You can increase this activation limit by calling 16

your Microsoft Activation Center. You can find local Activation Center phone numbers at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/vol/numbers.mspx. You can activate a computer using a MAK in two different ways: 1. Proxy Activation: With Proxy Activation, multiple computers are activated at the same time by using a single connection to Microsoft. Proxy Activation is the most similar to the Volume Activation 1.0 that customers have been using up to now. 2. Independent Activation: Each computer connects to Microsoft servers and is activated individually. Key Management Service Your organization can host the Key Management Service (KMS) internally to automatically activate computers running Windows Vista. To use the KMS, you must have a minimum of 25 computers running Windows Vista that are connected together. Computers that have been activated through KMS will be required to reactivate by connecting to your organization's network at least every six months. You can retrieve your VLKs from the VLSC site at https://licensing.microsoft.com or by calling the customer service phone number for your region listed at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/vol/numbers.mspx. For further information about Volume Activation, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/vol/default.mspx.

Distributing Media to Faculty and Staff

Universities or departments that purchase subscription licenses using the Campus Agreement can distribute the licensed product to faculty and staff for installation on covered institution computers using the methods below. You must acquire all installation media from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source. 1. Load the licensed product on a secured site and have eligible faculty and staff download the licensed product to machines that they manage. 2. Have faculty and staff bring their computers that they manage to a central location designated by the university and download from the campus network or CDs. 3. Set up a library checkout system for CDs for faculty and staff. 4. Replicate CDs for faculty and staff. (See Replication Rights below.) 5. Purchase individual CDs to distribute to your faculty and staff. You can obtain CD pricing information from your reseller. 6. For information on distributing media to faculty and staff members for Work at Home (WAH) use, see the Special Use Rights section of this guide.

Replication Rights
Your Campus Agreement allows you to acquire the quantity of media necessary to distribute the licensed product to your users for installation on covered institution computers. This includes the right to replicate media acquired from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source. All such copies must be true and complete copies (including copyright and trademark notices). You do not have the right to replicate media for Student Option or WAH use. For information on acquiring and distributing media to students under the Student Option and teachers and staff under WAH rights, see the Student Option and Use Rights sections of this guide. 17

Authorized Replicators
You may want to have a third party make and distribute such copies in your place, but you should be aware that you are responsible for such third partys actions to the same extent you would be if it were your employee. If the third party requests documentation that explains your rights to copy media despite other information to the contrary, you may use the Replication Form available at http://www.microsoft.com/education/CARepRights.mspx. We recommend that you contact a Microsoft Authorized Replicator for assistance. The following Microsoft Authorized Replicator can assist you with CD replication: Arvato Services Inc. 29011 Commerce Center Drive Valencia, CA 91355 Tel: (866) 618-0020 Fax: (661) 702-2944 For detailed specifications on media replication, including how to label your media, please see http://selectug.mslicense.com/documents/CampusSchoolReplicationGuideslines.doc.

Administering Software Assurance Benefits

To get the most from Software Assurance, we recommend that you assign responsibility to a Benefits Administrator who will manage your benefits and track benefits consumption at the Volume License Service Center (VLSC) at https://licensing.microsoft.com/. Information on how to access VLSC and how to receive these benefits is sent to all Software Assurance customers. You can designate a specific person as your Software Assurance benefits contact on your Campus subscription enrollment. You will find additional information on Software Assurance at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/default.mspx.

Worldwide MVLS Support Center contact information is available on the VLSC site.

The Student Option

The Campus Agreement Student Option provides a convenient and cost-effective way for you to license your students to use selected products on a personally owned computer or an institution-owned computer designated for the students exclusive use (i.e., a computer checked out to a student for the school year). If you choose the three-year subscription, each anniversary order must include at least the same number of student FTE as in the Year 1 order.

Calculating Student FTE

With the Campus Agreement Student Option, you license 100 percent of your students in the participating institution or department(s). Your total student FTE count is calculated as follows:

Full-time students

Part-time students 3

Student FTE count

18

Minimum Order Requirement for Student Option

Your student FTE count and the respective product selection for those students must meet the minimum requirement of 300 units.

For example, an institution that enrolls 100 students in the Student Option for three products meets the minimum requirement of 300 units.

3 (Number of products selected)

100 (Student FTE count)

300 units

Likewise, another institution that enrolls 300 students in the Student Option could meet the minimum requirement by selecting just one product.

1 (Number of products selected)

300 (Student FTE count)

300 units

You may not combine your faculty/staff and student license purchases to meet the 300-unit minimum. You must meet both minimums individually (300 units for the faculty/staff and 300 units for the Student Option).

Student Product Selection

You may choose any of the available Campus Agreement application, system, or CAL products for your students. The products selected do not have to match those selected for your institution computers.

Obtaining and Distributing Student Media

Distributing Licensed Product to Students
You may distribute licensed product to your licensed students using the following methods only: 1. Purchase and distribute one copy of each applicable CD-ROM or disk set to each authorized student user. These CDs or disk set (known as student media) must be purchased from your reseller in quantities not exceeding the number of licensed students. You may not duplicate media for students. For a list of products for which CDs or disk sets are currently available, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/education/StudentMedia.mspx. 2. Allow controlled download from your secure network server(s) or other storage device(s) using Volume Licensing media that you acquired from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source for installation on your institution machines (i.e., Welcome Kit media).

19

3. Have students bring in their computers for manual installation by you at a central location that you control utilizing volume licensing media acquired from a Microsoftapproved fulfillment source. 4. Use a system of controlled short-term checkout of applicable volume licensing media (acquired from a Microsoft approved fulfillment source) solely for purposes of individual user installation. This option is available only for products for which a Volume Licensing Key (VLK) is not required (products that do not include Microsoft Product Activation). You may not distribute VLKs to users for Student Option or Work at Home use. Your reseller can assist you in determining which products require a VLK. For more information on VLKs, see Activating Your Products in this guide. Please note: Some institutions choose to recover the cost of student licenses and/or media through technology or enrollment fees. The use and amount of such fees is up to the institutions discretion.

Student Use Rights

The terms of your licensing agreement governs your student licensed product use. The Microsoft Volume Licensing Product Use Rights, which are published quarterly, provide additional details regarding current use rights for specific Microsoft products acquired through Volume Licensing programs. For a copy of the current Product Use Rights, please go to http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights/ . Students are only licensed to use the product during the licensed period. These licenses are temporary (meaning the student does not own the license). On leaving the school or expiration of the subscription enrollment, students are required to remove the licensed product (unless the student has graduated). Your institution is responsible for communicating the appropriate use rights to students when distributing the licensed product. Guidelines for facilitating compliance are outlined in the master Campus Agreement terms and conditions. Provided that your institution follows these guidelines, you will not be held responsible for students failure to remove the licensed product. To help you facilitate this communication, a sample Student Acceptance form is available at http://www.microsoft.com/education/StudentMedia.mspx.

Perpetual Use Rights for Graduating Students

Upon graduation, students licensed under the Student Option are granted perpetual use rights for the selected Campus Agreement products.

Distributing the Student License Confirmation

You will be responsible for ensuring that graduating students with perpetual use rights receive a Student License Confirmation upon leaving the institution. Your institution must have a Student Option in place at the time the student graduates to distribute the Student License Confirmation.

Hard-copy Distribution
You may distribute the Student License Confirmation to your graduating students in hard-copy format. You may choose to either keep a physical copy for your records or capture this information in a database. Some institutions incorporate the Student License Confirmation letter into graduation or other documents that students pick up when they leave the institution. For example, if students are required to pay fees or pick up caps and gowns at the time of graduation, this is an opportunity to distribute the Student License Confirmation.

20

Electronic Distribution
You may also post the Student License Confirmation to a secure Web site for student download. You must keep proper records on all downloads of the Student License Confirmation.

Renewing Your Campus Agreement Coverage

If you chose the one-year license period on your subscription enrollment, then you can renew your Campus Agreement coverage by submitting an extension order through your reseller before the expiration of your licensed term. This order extends the licensed term for an additional year. With your extension order, you include an updated FTE employee count, any changes to your product selections, and a new Student Option count (if you chose this option on your subscription enrollment). Extension orders are subject to a 300-unit minimum order size. If you chose the three-year licensed period on your subscription enrollment, then you renew your Campus Agreement coverage by submitting an anniversary order through your reseller before the first and second anniversaries of the effective date of your subscription enrollment. If you are at the end of your three-year licensed period, you must complete a new subscription enrollment to continue to be licensed under your Campus Agreement. Please note: If you currently have a Campus Agreement version 3.2 or earlier , at the end of your current Campus Agreement licensed period, you need to complete version 3.5 of the Campus and School Agreement and the Campus Subscription Enrollment to renew your coverage. If you have a Campus Agreement version 3.4, your may renew their coverage by completing version 3.5 of the Campus Subscription Enrollment. They do not need to sign a new Campus and School Agreement. If you choose not to renew your subscription, you have the following options at the end of your licensed period: 1) Purchase perpetual licenses using the Buy-out option. You may purchase perpetual licenses for the products and quantities you want to continue using by acquiring buy-out licenses offered under the program. When exercising the Buy-out option, the following limitations apply: You may purchase perpetual licenses through the Buy-out option only for the product(s) covered under your subscription enrollment. Devices that were not covered by the subscription cannot be included. For example, if the corresponding subscription is limited to a particular department, perpetual licenses cannot be purchased through the Buy-out option for computers outside of that department. If you choose to exercise the Buy-out option during your subscription term, no refund will be given for the balance of time remaining. You may only exercise the Buy-out option prior to the expiration of your subscription term. If you only order Buy-out licenses for some (but not all) of your licensed products, you must remove all product for which you do not acquire a Buy-out license prior to the expiration of the licensed period. If you have a three-year subscription enrollment, you must acquire perpetual licenses for application, system, CAL, and Online Services products in quantities no less than

21

the number of devices covered by the Campus enrollment. For example, if you have 1,000 FTE employees and 1,100 computers covered by the current subscription, you must purchase 1,100 perpetual licenses per applicable product through the Buy-out option. Note: Customers with the three-year subscription enrollment qualify for discounted Buy-out pricing. If you have a one-year subscription enrollment, you may order Buy-out licenses for a portion of the devices covered under the Campus enrollment. For any given product, you may acquire a minimum of 10 Buy-out licenses and no more than the total number of devices covered by your Campus enrollment. You must remove all product from devices for which you do not acquire a Buy-out license prior to the expiration of the licensed period.

2) Remove the software If you do not submit an extension order (one-year option) or anniversary order (three-year option), sign a new subscription enrollment, or exercise the Buy-out option, you are required to remove all products from every computer, and your institution must revert to using the product that you had licenses for prior to the start of your Campus subscription enrollment. 3) Combination You may choose a combination of the choices listed above. For example, you want an additional 12 months of Campus Agreement coverage for Windows Upgrade, perpetual licenses for Visual Studio, and you no longer want to use any of the other products covered under your current subscription. To obtain this, you can submit a new order for Windows Upgrade, purchase perpetual licenses for Visual Studio using the Buy-out option, and remove the remaining products from all machines.

Changing Your Reseller

If for some reason you are dissatisfied with the reseller that has sold you the Microsoft Campus Agreement, you may select a new one. It is the ultimate responsibility of you, the customer, to drive the change of reseller process from start to finish.

Notification to Terminated Reseller

You are responsible for notifying your existing reseller (the Terminated Reseller) of the upcoming termination. A form is available for this purpose at http://www.microsoft.com/education/ChangeReseller.mspx . Refer to your agreement with your reseller to determine any other notification requirements. Irrespective of the terms and conditions of any such agreement between you and your reseller, Campus Agreement software or media products ordered on or before the termination date will not be credited from the Terminated Reseller, and you should submit payment for all such Campus Agreement software or media products to the Terminated Reseller. Campus Agreement software or media products required after the date of termination should be ordered and paid to the new reseller.

Notification to Microsoft
You are required to notify Microsoft when you want to change your reseller. It is your responsibility to verify in advance that the new reseller is authorized by Microsoft to offer Microsoft Campus Agreement. Microsoft does not require the new reseller to complete a new Campus subscription enrollment with you, but we do ask that the new reseller and distributor acknowledge its appointment as reseller and distributor under your existing Campus subscription enrollment. 22

You should complete and sign the Notification to Microsoft Form (available at http://www.microsoft.com/education/ChangeReseller.mspx) and circulate it to the new reseller for written acknowledgment of its appointment. The new reseller should then circulate the letter to their distributor of choice for their written acknowledgment. On Microsofts receipt and acceptance of the letter, Microsoft will acknowledge the change of reseller and/or distributor and route the fully executed letter back to all applicable parties. At least one copy of the Notification to Microsoft Form should be submitted to Microsoft for acceptance and processing. You must complete information pertaining to all defined terms and Signature Blocks. Please allow 30 days for Microsoft to approve, process, and route the form. The change of reseller is not effective until Microsoft approves and acknowledges it. Please note: Orders previously billed to the Terminated Reseller and/or distributor will not be credited, however, all future orders will be billed to the new reseller and distributor.

Redistribution of Software Updates to Students

From time to time, we may make available to the general public additional or replacement code of any portion of our licensed products without a fee, which we refer to as Software Updates. To help academic Volume Licensing customers provide a more secure technology environment, you are allowed to redistribute these Software Updates to your students even if you have not included the Student Option. With these rights, you can better manage the electronic distribution of Software Updates within your networks. You may redistribute Software Updates to your students in the following ways: 1. By electronic means provided that your method is adequately licensed and incorporates access control and security measures designed to prevent modification of the Software Updates and prevent access by the general public. 2. By physical means provided that you acquire authorized copies on fixed media from a Microsoft-approved fulfillment source. Please note: You may not replicate the Software Updates onto CDs or other media for distribution to students. Additional terms and limitations apply to the redistribution of Software Updates. For complete details, please refer to section 8(c) of the Campus and School Agreement version 3.5.
