With subscription licensing programs, we have the right to run a selection of products, and any upgrades or downgrades of those products, for a designated term. For application, system, and Client Access License (CAL) products, even if the number of computers or users grows, we remain fully licensed throughout the designated term. Microsoft has two subscription licensing programs for education customers. Campus Agreement is for higher education institutions and offers the simplicity of counting people instead of computers.
Subscription licensing offers many benefits, including:
Easy compliance. Because all of your institution's computers and users are covered throughout the subscription term, it is easy to ensure that the institution is fully licensed for the products selected. Low administration. Subscription licensing helps eliminate the need to track licenses for the selected licensedproducts on every computer. Current technology. With subscription licensing, our licensed users can run the most current version of the licensed products included in our subscription. Plus, our institution automatically receives installation media for products that upgrade during the licensed term. Excellent value. Software Assurance Membership-including support resources, tools, and E-Learning courses-is included with our license coverage.
Some of the outstanding infrastructure facilities like WiFi and wired Network with Fiber backbone connectivity powered by CISCO switches with High Speed leased Line 1:1 Internet Connectivity and controlled from a Centralized Data Center - First of its kind in an Engineering College.
