Microsoft Campus Agreement
In August, 2004, Missouri State entered into an
agreement with Microsoft Corporation for system-wide
software licensing.
The following software is included in this agreement:
- Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Desktop Operating System Upgrades
- Microsoft Core Client Access License (CAL)
- Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2007
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
This contract applies to all computers owned by the
University on all Missouri State campuses --
Springfield, West Plains, and Mountain Grove. This
includes faculty and staff computers, computers used by
student workers and graduate assistants, computers in
classrooms and labs, and those computers in residence
halls that are owned by the University.
This licensing agreement is being centrally funded by
the Office of Information Technology and the Student
Computer Usage Fee budgets from the Springfield and West
Plains campuses. There is no direct cost to any other
University department. This agreement is an annual
contract. The cost is determined each year based on the
total number of full-time and part-time faculty and
staff at all Missouri State campuses that use computers
in their work. Based on projected total software costs
for the included software, this will result in an
overall net savings to the University. By funding this
cost centrally, all University departments should
benefit. Getting Software Loaded onto University
Computers
This agreement also provides an additional benefit to
all University faculty and those University staff who
are considered "technology users" (those who use
computers as a regular part of their job at the
University). These users are granted a license to use
one copy of this software on their home computer for
University-related activities. Please be advised that,
due to lack of resources, the University can not support
home installations of this software. While installation
instructions will be provided, technical support for
home installations must be obtained from non-University
sources.
Be advised that Missouri State faculty and staff are
permitted to use these home licenses only while the
University maintains its license renewal. If at any time
the University elects not to renew or terminates this
license agreement, the software licensed under this
agreement must be removed from all home computers upon
expiration of the agreement.
Adobe Software
Adobe Creative Suite and others Adobe products are
available at a discount to departments that wish to
purchase them. Photoshop and Acrobat are two of
the more popular Adobe products.
Individual license's must be purchased for each product.
Update: Creative Suite 3 (CS3) is now
available. To see Edition info please click the
