School License Agreement (SLA)
The School License Agreement (SLA) is the ideal licensing vehicle for Primary Education Institutions (K-12). With a short, simple contract and easy annual payment calculations, this agreement perfectly meets the changing requirements of primary education institutions to license, implement, and maintain their software investments. This program not only lowers software ownership costs but also helps you spend less time on software acquisition and more time focusing on your business-education.
Here are just a few of the benefits you'll find in the SLA program:
To enroll, select from the following list of contract documents.
If you already have an SLA, select from the following list of Annual Fee Worksheets.
**SLA Participation Form: Submit this form along with the SLA Annual Fee Worksheet (Exhibit A) for each additional school joining the Agreement part-way through an Annual Term.
A program that works for you. As a qualified academic institution, you can radically simplify software management for your organization by purchasing through the SLA. You decide which counting method works best for your organization: student enrollment or workstation count. You also have control of the products you want to use throughout your organization. You may select from the pre-determined bundles offered or opt to build your own product bundle (US$2.25 student enrollment or US$34 workstation minimum) to suit the needs of your organization. To determine your Annual Fee, simply use the pricing and product information on the SLA Annual Fee Worksheet and multiply it by your enrollment or workstation count. Once you pay this fee, you have completed your licensing of these products for the year.
Latest product versions. The software you license through the SLA program is automatically covered with Upgrade Protection, ensuring you always have access to the latest version of the software. This benefit lowers the cost of software procurement and gives you access to the latest versions of our software throughout the term of your SLA.
Easy installation. Once you have enrolled in the SLA and submitted your Annual Fee Worksheet, you are entitled to install the software throughout the organization as needed from a single media kit. Should you need to add another server, no problem. Your licenses have already been paid for via your Annual License Fee.
Discounts on perpetual license purchases. As an SLA customer, you may purchase perpetual software licenses and other offerings at a discounted price through the Academic Standalone Orders (ASO). You can purchase these additional offerings in a single purchase order by including the required order information with your annual fee payment. For details on the Academic Standalone Orders (ASO), please see the Academic Program Guide.
Counting. Note that the enrollment numbers that you use for the SLA program are those published at the end of your previous academic year. These figures must be published in a formal document and you must reference this in the annual worksheet you complete. See the Academic Program Guide for further details.
