School Agreement

The Microsoft School Agreement Subscription is an annual, comprehensive licensing program specifically created to address the unique needs of primary and secondary schools and districts. With the simplicity of counting computers just once per year, School Agreement Subscription makes it easy for your to license all of your computers, whether in a single school or throughout the entire district.

School Agreement lets your bring the school's technology up to speed in two very important ways:

 By ensuring that your Microsoft software is always current, helping you avoid unbudgeted costs for software upgrades.

 By reducing the administrative requirements for managing software compliance, software support and system downtime.
