And MS Office?

[marksams]

Hi DMcCoy - MS Office is quite straightforward as a device-based license and qualifying desktop platform product for the 'Student Option'. In this scenario (just the sixth formers with their own devices) you can define the organisation for the Student Option as the sixth form department. It can also be defined otherwise if needed, e.g. multiple departments or locations or the entire institution. However you define your student organisation, you must have an FTE Student count of 5 or more - using the formula 'Full Time Students' + 'Part Time Students divided by 3'.

 

There are four part codes for MS Office with the student option - The cheapest applies a discount when licensing 3 desktop platform products for the students. There is the standard price for MS Office as the sole desktop platform product, and then there are two more part codes that also apply a year 1 discount for converting existing perpetual licenses into EES.

We are just renewing our ESS, i am still confused with the Microsoft Office licensing part. I have been told that staff are covered by the agreement to use Office on the Terminal box, but not students, and i need to add student office licences for every student accessing office on it. Is this correct? Sounds like its going to get expensive.

If they are using internally then the FTE count should be ok I beleive - I think you might need the PDF that @Millgate was talking about.
