Microsoft Select Agreement for DOE IntroductionThe Select Agreement is a purchasing vehicle for Microsoft software products that will generally give the Department the best available academic prices. The State has a separate MS agreement which has higher prices than the DOE Select Agreement. Agreement DurationFrom August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2012 Vendors/OrderingUnder our Select Agreement, Microsoft licenses are ordered through two companies: Dell and Hewlett Packard. Please note that their price lists costs differ. If you are buying a large quantity or higher priced items, it will be worthwhile to check prices with both of them. Contact a reseller (contact information in the table below) for a quote on the list of items you need to order.
Your purchase order and invoice will be your proof of license, so you should keep a copy of these. Be sure to include Attention to: in your shipping address. Your CD will be shipped from "Worldwide Fulfillment" and the shipping label may not show "Microsoft", so don't mistake this for junk mail. There should be NO shipping/handling charges. Add 4.712% tax. The details for each vendor are:
Licenses:Since this is a volume purchase agreement, licenses are purchased separately from the physical media (typically one or more CD’s) that contain the installable product. A school or office needs to order a quantity of licenses equal to the number of machines that the software is going to be installed on. The proof of license will generally be your Purchase Order and Invoice. Media:Only one set of media needs to be ordered. If more sets are needed for convenience, for example to facilitate installing on a large number of machines, the school or office is allowed to make copies of the Microsoft CD. The media is inexpensive and should be ordered as needed. (ISSB will keep a master set of CD’s and will loan or make a CD copy for a school or office, but only for exceptional, hopefully rare situations.) Product Keys:When CD media for a product is ordered, it will not be delivered with an accompanying Product Key Code, except in the case for Macs and some server products. The Department has a master set of Key Codes for each type of product. These will be provided to a limited set of people at each school and office. You may contact ISSB at 586-3200. Or Email the following information to Corey_Chun@notes.k12.hi.us
License Obligation/Copyright LawsThe volume licenses under the Select program generally will not require product activation with Microsoft, which binds the license and software to the machine it is installed on. This step is eliminated in order to make it easier for large organizations such as the DOE to deploy software. Please be aware that the Department and each employee of the Department is obligated to comply with software licensing and copyright laws. A license is required to be purchased for each computer that a product is installed on. Once you order the license, you are free to install the product if you already have the CD, without waiting for any confirmation from Microsoft or the Vendor.
