Microsoft for Education. Buy the entire line of Microsoft licensed products, including supplies for educational institutions: schools, universities, etc. (Academic, School Agreement licenses). Calendars and schedules

Given the critical role that information technology plays in today's education, as well as taking into account existing budgetary constraints, Microsoft has developed a number of software licensing programs specifically for educational institutions.

Volume Licensing Programs

Academic Open License

The Microsoft Academic Open License is a flexible and efficient program that provides the opportunity to purchase permanent licenses for Microsoft software at significantly lower prices than commercial software or boxed academic editions.

This program is for a wide range of eligible members who purchase licenses for use on 5 or more PCs. Its benefits can be enjoyed by:

• Public and private higher education institutions, educational institutions of secondary and secondary specialized education, advanced training courses and institutes, training centers that have licenses to conduct educational activities issued by the Ministry of General and Vocational Education or other authorized state body.
• Administrative governing bodies of educational institutions operating at the regional, regional and state levels.
• Research institutions that are part of the structures of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (RAAS).
• Hospitals and clinics at higher educational institutions.
• public libraries.
• Museums.
• Charity organisations.

Unlike subscription licensing programs, the Academic Open program provides fewer additional features and benefits. However, it is the most optimal licensing program for an educational institution that:

• does not plan to standardize workplaces (that is, install the same set of software at workplaces) and does not set itself the task of ensuring the legality of the entire PC fleet;
• does not need regular software updates (updates software versions on average once every 4-5 years or less often);
• prefers to make a larger, but one-time payment, rather than making small payments for the use of software annually;
• plans to reduce the computer park;
• wants to buy a small batch of software;
• wants to have permanent software licenses.

School Agreement

The Microsoft School Agreement is for elementary, middle, high school, and government educational institutions only. Basically, it's a software subscription. Under this licensing program, the customer obtains the right to use a number of products (including any subsequent or previous versions of them) for the duration of the subscription. Payment is made in the form of annual payments, while the price includes automatic access to new versions of products and many other benefits that are provided within the . In accordance with this program, the educational institution has the opportunity to license software products on teachers' home computers for free for work purposes, as well as subscribe to the use of software on students' personal computers at special prices.

School Agreement is the best choice for an educational institution that:

• seeks to use advanced technologies in educational and administrative processes (updates software on average at least once every 3-4 years);
• sets itself the task of standardizing workplaces (that is, installing the same set of software at workplaces) and ensuring the legality of the entire PC park;
• plans to increase the computer park;
• prefers to pay small annual payments (instead of occasional large investments in software purchases);
• wants to provide teachers with free software licenses for home use**, and students with the opportunity to purchase licensed software for personal PCs at special prices.

A subscription to the School Agreement program can be purchased from any Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller (AER).

Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES)

Microsoft's Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) is a simple, cost-effective licensing program that allows educational institutions to license their entire fleet of PCs under a single subscription agreement. It provides features such as licensing based on an annual employee count, the right to purchase any number of additional product licenses, and simplified asset management.

The EES program is designed taking into account the complex IT environment of modern educational institutions and provides primary, secondary and higher education institutions and educational institutions with a number of important advantages:

• Affordable pricing based on order quantity and rights to the latest versions of Microsoft software.
• Simplicity: to obtain a license, it is enough to calculate the number of full-time employees once a year.
• Software Assurance Program
• The right to use school-licensed software on teachers' home PCs.
• A wide range of additional Microsoft software products that can be licensed in any quantity.
• Solution [email protected], which includes email, calendars, document sharing, instant messaging, video chat, and mobile email (the solution works in most popular web browsers).
• Predictable annual payments with a choice of subscription terms - for one year or for three years.

Solution for legalization of Windows OS in educational institutions - GGWA-A

The Get Genuine Windows® Agreement for Academic (GGWA-A) is an easy and cost effective way to license the OS on PCs you already use.

GGWA-A allows you to purchase a basic license for a desktop operating system and thereby resolve situations related to counterfeit software, insufficient or missing software licenses, and pirated versions of software.

Main use cases for GGWA-A

Scenario 1: An organization purchased a PC without an operating system installed and then used Windows Upgrade licenses purchased through Volume Licensing programs.

If you purchase Windows Upgrade licenses through volume licensing programs, you must have base operating system licenses. In this scenario, where there is a shortage of base OS licenses on PCs already in use, GGWA-A allows you to purchase the required number of base licenses at more favorable terms than purchasing boxed products (FPP).

Scenario 2: The organization is using an unlicensed copy of the Windows operating system.

Is installation and activation required?

After licensing the base OS under GGWA-A and purchasing a Windows Upgrade license through Volume Licensing programs, an organization can install and activate Upgrade licenses (but not the base license):

• If you are using an unlicensed copy of the software, you must install a licensed copy under a Windows Upgrade license and then activate it using a Volume License Key (VLK), which can be obtained from the MVLS website or by calling the Product Activation Center.
• Installation or activation is not required if the organization's PC is already using legal copies of the software that were installed under a Windows Upgrade license.

Can previous versions be used?

An organization can use the Downgrade option (the ability to use all previous versions of the product in any combination and on any number of PCs under the agreement), after purchasing Windows Upgrade licenses. That is, for example, if you have entered into an agreement for 5 PCs, you can use Windows 7 on one, Windows Vista on another, and Windows XP on the other three. But only one version of the OS on one PC and only on five PCs.

The modern educational process involves working with large amounts of information. Today, most information is stored electronically. For its creation, processing, viewing, sharing and distribution, as well as protection, effective modern tools are needed. The Microsoft Office platform is the recognized world leader in information management systems.

The Office 365 Education solution includes the Microsoft Office suite, its online version (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote Web Apps), along with collaboration and unified communications tools Skype for Business, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online , which provide opportunities for effective interaction for educational purposes.

The implementation of Office 365 will allow you to create a flexible and manageable enterprise-level IT infrastructure that meets the rules of a particular educational institution at minimal cost. Office 365 facilitates effective collaboration between students, educators, and school leaders. Thanks to Office 365, the university receives a messaging service with up to 25 GB of mailboxes, the ability to collaborate on documents and file storage up to 10 GB, as well as audio and video conferencing with a maximum number of participants up to 1000 people.

Office 365 Education is available in several pricing plans that vary in terms of the amount of services available. The basic plan, which includes Office Web Apps (documents in the browser), Exchange Online (mail, tasks, and calendars), SharePoint Online (portals and document sharing), and Skype for Business (messaging and video conferencing), is free for all schools. To gain access to Office 365 for Education, a university just needs to register on the site.

To cover the basic needs of an educational institution, you can also buy Office 365 ProPlus for only 1687.20 per year. The license is granted per user. As an added benefit, Office 365 ProPlus is now free to license for students.

We offer you a new product - Microsoft 365 for universities. It is a comprehensive, intelligent solution that includes Office 365, Windows 10, access control, device and application management systems, as well as advanced information protection capabilities.
The license is granted for one device for its entire service life, which is 6 years according to the agreement. As of April 2018, the price of Microsoft 365 A1 is 1890 rubles for 6 years, paid as a one-time payment (that is, the cost per year is approximately 315 rubles).
