      Student Software from Global Information Centre

  Global Information Centre has teamed up with Microsoft to offer a cost effective way to purchase software for students and teachers. As a world leading company,       Microsoft appreciates the importance of education and it's impact on everyone's life. The company is making enormous commitments to assist students, teachers and learners at every level of academic development and progress. Increasingly, students are purchasing their own PCs to support their education, which in turn creates cost pressures on limited student resources. To help overcome this, Microsoft has designed a unique Student License Offer that gives students and teachers easier ownership of Microsoft software.

Since individuals such as students and staff may not purchase Microsoft products under Microsoft Open License or Microsoft Select licensing schemes, Student Licensing is their only option for getting discounted prices.

Microsoft Student License is for students attending primary, secondary, or special needs schools, or registered in any school, college, university or course which will award a certificate or qualification recognised by the Department of Education and Employment. The students and teachers may only use the product for their own personal use on their own PC.

The Student License is a license for life. When a student leaves academia, there is no need to upgrade to a full packaged product. If a product needs to be upgraded, though, this has to be done at the full upgrade price; there is no student pricing for upgrades.

The following products are available for Student Licensing:  SKU Numbers Can Be Updated at any time PLEASE Use MS Link for Latest News

Other products are being considered. Students automatically get information about additional products unless they specifically indicate that they do NOT wish to receive any more information.

Students and teachers purchase a Student License Retail Box from the Global Information Centre, complete the Order Registration Form and post it to Microsoft. Microsoft will validate the order for eligibility and send the fulfilment packs directly to the purchaser. Should Microsoft decline eligibility for Student licensing, a non-compliance letter will be sent advising the purchaser to return the Retail Box with its contents to Global Information Centre with their receipt for a full refund.

The Retail Box contains:

• The Order Registration Form and temporary license,

• A student licensing handbook

• Pre-paid envelope

• A warranty brochure

• 2 CDs – Internet Explorer and Consumer CD Sampler

The actual product software and End User License Agreement will be sent in the fulfilment pack. Software is on CD only; printed documentation is not included, but may be purchased separately.
