Student's Unions and Educational Licensing

[binky]

Are student's unions (i.e. university SU's) eligible for educational pricing/licensing (even though they stand as registered companys). On another note, do they qualify for Live@Edu (if there is someone from microsoft here??)

Normally I would say no as they are commercial companies separate from the University itself (though affiliated). It would probably be a good idea to look at the exactly what the Constitution creating the Union says for your University. It may be a different matter if the Union is a registered charity.

Any way of contracting the uni to supply IT services?

You'll find the eligibility reuirements for most licensing schemes on the relevant companies' websites.
