Departments may purchase new licenses for Microsoft products, put existing licenses on a maintenance agreement by purchasing Upgrade Advantage, purchase media for multiple installations, and purchase documentation.
Licenses are permanent.
License only purchases do not provide the rights to any maintenance or upgrades released after the purchase date. Licenses are permanent and provide the right to use the specific version of the product purchased. Media must be purchased separately. Media purchased under MOLP has a 2-3 week delivery delay. Proof of Purchase for Upgrade Advantage must be presented to acquire new media when products are upgraded and to verify the right to use new versions of the licensed software.
