I am an existing Education Select and Open License customer. A. School Agreement is Microsoft's new comprehensive annual subscription licensing program for K-12 customers. As an annual licensing program, School Agreement provides a simple formula for running a broad platform of Microsoft products on machines in K-12 schools.
Schools count the number of their eligible machines and multiply that by a tiered price.
At the end of the agreement, the school either renews the License Agreement, cancels out of School Agreement by purchasing upgrade licenses, or removes the software from its machines. From working with K-12 educators, we understand that schools want a licensing program tailored to their specific needs. They want a program that offers a broad set of tools at a competitive price that is simple to implement and easy to administer. We spent several months talking with our K-12 education customers about the type of licensing program that would best meet their needs. Educators have been involved in the development of Microsoft School Agreement every step of the way.
