Microsoft Campus, Select and Student Select Software Agreements

The California State University has entered into three agreements with Microsoft that will provide software for CSU students, faculty, staff and auxiliary units. The three agreements are the Microsoft Campus Agreement Program, Microsoft Select Agreement and the Microsoft Student Select Program. The agreements will be in effect from now until December 31, 2008. The full text of the CSU Microsoft Agreements can be viewed at http://msadmin.calstate.edu

Microsoft Campus Agreement Program

The Microsoft Campus Agreement provides faculty, staff and auxiliary units with the use of certain Microsoft desktop products, server licenses and Server Client Access Licenses (CAL's) including MS Software Assurance for a three-year period beginning Jan 1, 2006. MS Software Assurance covers the products for any new releases during the 3-year term of the contract.

Students are not licensed under this agreement. Microsoft software licensed for use under this agreement are:

  • Office Professional (both Macintosh and Windows versions)
  • Frontpage 2003
  • MS Office Sharepoint Designer 2007 (replaces Frontpage 2003)
  • Publisher (Not available as a stand-alone product, now included in Office Professional)
  • Visual Studio.NET Professional
  • Windows Upgrades

Work at Home Rights under the Microsoft Campus Agreement Program

The Campus Agreement contains Work at Home Rights (WAH). The WAH program allows faculty, staff and auxiliary units to install one copy of the covered software on their home computers on which the faculty or staff member is the primary user. CD's for WAH installations are special CD's and not the same CD's used to install on CSU owned computers. These CD's may not be duplicated and they come with their own installation key code. Faculty, staff and auxiliary units should contact the SFSU Bookstore to purchase WAH CD's and for updated pricing.

Work at Home Pricing for CD's
Windows Products
Windows XP Pro $30.00
Windows Vista Business Ed. $30.00
Office 2007 Standard $29.00
Office 2007 Pro $34.00
Office 2007 Enterprise $44.00
Office 2003 Pro $34.00
Macintosh Products
Office 2004 (for Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher) $25.00

The WAH program does not allow you to install from a Microsoft software media obtained through the Microsoft Select Program.

Student Select Program

The Microsoft Student Select Agreement allows students to purchase Microsoft products (licenses and CD's) at significantly reduced prices. The products available under this agreement are:

  • Office 2007 (Windows version).
  • Office 2003 Pro
  • Windows Vista Business Edition
  • Windows XP Professional Operating System
  • Office 2004 (Macintosh OS X only)

Students may purchase software under the Student Select Program at the SFSU Bookstore.

The Windows Operating System will install on one computer an unlimited amount of times (if the PC were to crash, you can reinstall the software). Office can be installed on two computers - a desktop and a portable device.

When the software is installed, you will be required to register the product with Microsoft or the product will not install. The registration will take the Key Code of the CD-Rom and a Serial number from the computer(s) and store them in a Microsoft Database, as long as these two numbers match, the CD-Rom will keep installing on that computer(s).
