How is this being paid for?

The Student Technology Access Fee (TAF) allocated one-third of the funds. ETSU vice presidents are paying for the other two-thirds, based on their employee FTEs.

Will new Microsoft products be included?

Yes. If Microsoft releases a new version of any software programs in this agreement, we will be eligible to use them.

I have a Macintosh at home and use a PC at work. Can I get Macintosh products for work at home use?

Yes. There are no restrictions that require you to use the same platform.

Should I register my campus agreement products with Microsoft?

No. Microsoft prefers that individuals licensed under the campus agreement do not register their software. Because individuals at educational institutions move so frequently, Microsoft feels that attempting to keep current and up-to-date user information for these customers is unrealistic.

Why would I not want to upgrade to the latest software version?

Be sure to check that your hardware is beyond the minimum specifications required by the software. You can see the minimum specifications at http://www.microsoft.com/products
