Your school or department saves up to 70 percent over the cost of purchasing software at retail prices. Keep things simple With software licensing, you can order all your software from one source, using a 33-digit billing code or purchase order. Order only what you need When you order through the Software Licensing group, you can purchase software licenses, media, and documentation separately. As a result, you only pay for what you need. For example, if your department is purchasing 10 licenses for Microsoft Word, you only need to order ONE copy of the media.
Individuals can use that copy to install the software on their own system.
Access the latest features Software licensing makes it easy and cost-effective to keep your entire software environment up to date. Users throughout your school or department have access to the latest features. In addition, by standardizing on the latest software version, you reduce the likelihood of interoperability problems. Ensure compliance Ensure that your department and Harvard are in full compliance with software licensing requirements.
