Public Sector Licensing
Designed to reduce the costs associated with acquiring, upgrading, maintaining and managing software, Microsoft Volume Licensing programs provide simple and flexible, volume-based pricing for government.
Every government organisation is different and all have different needs. Those needs depend on various factors, including organisation size, location, the type of work their people do and the current status of the software on their PCs. Settling on the right type of government licence depends on these needs.
Microsoft Licensing Programmes
Small to Medium sized Businesses (5 to 250 PC’s)
Corporate, Government, charity, and academic customers who require as few as five software licenses and up to 250 are generally best off in the Microsoft Open License program. There are four different offerings depending on your requirements.
Medium to Large Businesses (250+ PC’s)
If you have 250 or more PCs in your organisation and have the ability to forecast your purchasing over a three-year period, there are three types of Volume Licensing programs that may be the most effective for your needs.
Government
This volume licensing program offers Federal, State, Local and other government agencies the best level of discounted licensing pricing available from Microsoft and a great range of benefits.
Education
With the range of special discounts available to educational institutions - and their faculty, staff, and students - you get the best software at the best prices with a number of discounted purchasing options.
Charities
With the Microsoft Open License for Charities program, eligible organisations can acquire multiple software licenses — rather than multiple software packages—at reduced prices. Find out more about the right license for your organisation.
Healthcare Organisations
Microsoft has a range of licensing programs tailored for healthcare organisations, depending on whether they are private or public, large or small. Find out more about the right license for your organisation.
