Microsoft Academic Select 6.4 License Program
The University of Wyoming is a participating member of the Microsoft Academic Select License Program. As a member, UW is able to secure volume pricing on various Microsoft products. This significantly reduces the costs incurred by UW departments and colleges. The
current program is effective August 1st, 2006 through July 31, 2009.
Microsoft Volume Licensing Categories
- Standard – new stand alone single license only. No upgrades included over
term of agreement.
- License & Software Assurance (new bundle) – "buy current and keep
current" at no additional cost for upgrades until July 2009.

Users should analyze their needs, and then carefully compare the options and
associated prices.
Eligibility
In the past, some UW affiliated state and federal agencies purchased licenses through
UW's Select Agreement with Microsoft. Please be advised that many state and federal agencies
may not be eligible to receive Academic Select licenses. When an agency requests new or
upgraded licenses, an eligibility review will have to be made. If upon review it's
determined that the requesting department is not eligible then UW will not be allowed to
provide the requested product. Departments will be directed to the requesting agency's
procurement department.
More information resides on the Microsoft
Educational Licensing Web page.

Note: All software and licenses obtained through the Select Agreement remain
the property of UW. Payment can be sent to Client Support Services, Room 140 of the
Ivinson Building.
