Purdue University and Microsoft Corporation have entered into
an agreement for volume licensing of commonly used Microsoft software. The
Microsoft Campus Agreement (MSCA) licenses these products for use on all
University owned or leased computers at the West Lafayette, North Central, and
Calumet campuses. Under the terms of the agreement, the University may install
any version of several Microsoft software products on University owned or leased
computers without any additional license expense to the University or the
departments.
Personal Use
The Microsoft Campus Agreement (MSCA) allows each eligible
Purdue faculty and staff member and each student to use selected software
products on one computer he or she owns, for University-related work. The cost
of the Microsoft software licenses is covered by the agreement but distribution
media (CD-ROMs) must be purchased from an official University source. See
http://www.itap.purdue.edu/support/licensing/sitelicense/msca/eligibility.cfm
for eligibility criteria. Each person who wishes to buy Microsoft software media
must sign a form to certify his or her eligibility and to accept the terms of
the MSCA and associated University policies. A valid Purdue identification card
must also be presented for each purchaser
The Microsoft software may be distributed to and used only
by persons who agree to abide by the MSCA's restrictions (summarized below),
applicable License Agreement terms (see the web page at
http://www.microsoft.com/Education/license/terms.asp),
and applicable University policies.
