M$ School Agreement due for renewel

[BatchFile]

Our School Agreement is due for renewal in June.

We have 217 qualifying PCs and have been quoted £25.76 each to renew by our current supplier.

 

Their quote was based on 196 PCs which was last year's count - I've asked them to requote for 217.

 

Can any of you do a better price?

 

If our current supplier comes back with a different price for this year's count I'll of course post it here to keep the playing field as level as possible.

 

Thanks in advance

Email in confirms price is the same for new computer count - still £25.76 each

The Ultimate benefit provides you with 1 copy of Ultimate, not a blanket license.

Well, it's that time of year again, so rather than starting a new thread I'll give this one a bump!

This year we have 294 PCs

 

Quotes Pleeeeeease by PM initially is fine. I'm intending making a decision on Friday

You could probably push to around the £25.50 mark (we have 340 to renew and are looking at a cost just a tad below that). I went all out this year and asked well over 20 suppliers (quite a few of whom saw my request on the forums!)

I too am looking at getting the school's agreement so would also like to be quoted happy.

Within School Agreement, the Windows licence is for the Enterprise edition - so now it is Windows 7 Enterprise. Enterprise and Ultimate both have the same features, but Enterprise has Volume Licence activation, whereas Ultimate is a consumer version, so each version needs activating with an individual key. Here's the detail of what's in each version:

Microsoft UK Schools : What features are in which version of Windows 7?

 

The other reason to install Enterprise is that you automatically get BitLocker encryption.

 

(And, as a bonus answer, the version included with a Select licence is Professional - you can get Enterprise under Select if you buy your licences with Software Assurance)
