School Agreement Student Option
With School Agreement Subscription, it's easy to provide your students with the software they need. Through the Student
Option, you may license your students for use of one or more of the available
School Agreement products
(with the exception of The Magic School Bus titles) on a personally-owned computer or a school-owned computer designated
for a student's exclusive use (i.e. a computer checked-out to a student for the school year). Also available for students
only are Microsoft&#reg; Windows&#reg; Terminal Services CAL and Microsoft Class Server Student License. The products selected do
not have to match your faculty/staff selections. When selecting the Student Option, you choose a specific number of
students to license. This number cannot be changed over the course of the subscription term.
Minimum Order Requirement
If your school includes the Student Option, your student count and the respective product selection for those students
must meet the minimum requirement of 300 units. You cannot combine your faculty/staff and student purchases to meet the
300 unit minimum. Both minimums must be met individually. You calculate your total units for students by multiplying
the number of students by the number of products selected. For example, a school that enrolls 100 students in the
Student Option for three products meets the minimum requirement of 300 units (100 students x 3 products = 300 units).
Likewise, another school that enrolls 300 students in the Student Option could meet the minimum requirement by
selecting just one product (300 students x 1 product = 300 units).
Student Use Rights Students are only licensed to use the software for the subscription term. These licenses are non-perpetual. Upon leaving the institution or expiration of the subscription term, students are required to remove the software. Your institution is responsible for communicating the appropriate use rights to students when distributing the software. Guidelines for communicating this information in order to facilitate compliance are outlined in the Master School Agreement Terms and Conditions. To the extent that your institution follows these guidelines, you will not be held responsible for students' failure to remove the software. Student License Buy-out Your institution may convert non-perpetual student licenses to perpetual licenses via the Buy-out option as an alternative to removing the software. You will need to purchase a minimum of 10 licenses for each product that you want to Buy-out for your students. If this option is exercised, the perpetual licenses must be issued only to students covered under the Student Option. They may not be used to license a different student or group of students.

enrolls 100 students in the Student Option for three products meets the minimum requirement of 300 units: 3
(# of products selected) x 100 (student FTE count) = 300 units Likewise, another institution that enrolls 300
students in the Student Option could meet the minimum requirement by selecting just one product: 1 (# of products
selected) x 300 (student FTE count) = 300 units Perpetual Student Use Rights All other
students are only licensed to use the software for the subscription term. These licenses are non-perpetual (meaning
the student does not own the license). Upon leaving the institution (besides graduation) or expiration of the
subscription term, students are required to remove the software. Your institution is responsible for communicating
the appropriate use rights to students when distributing the software. Guidelines for facilitating compliance are
outlined in the Master Campus Agreement Terms and Conditions. To the extent that your institution follows these
guidelines, you will not be held responsible for students' failure to remove the software.
Distributing the Student License Confirmation You will be responsible for ensuring that graduating students with perpetual use rights receive a Student License Confirmation (Exhibit "1" to the Subscription Order Form) upon leaving the institution, as required by the License Agreement. You cannot distribute the Student License Confirmation until the student graduates. Your institution must have a Student Option agreement in place at the time of student graduation in order to distribute the Student License Confirmation. Hardcopy Distribution You may distribute the Student License Confirmation to your departing students in hard-copy format. You may choose to either keep a physical copy for your records or capture this information in a database. Some institutions incorporate the Student License Confirmation letter into graduation or other documents that students pick-up when they leave the institution. For example, if students are required to pay fees or pick-up caps and gowns at the time of graduation, this is an opportunity to distribute the Student License Confirmation.
