Microsoft Volume Licensing Enrollment for Education Solutions

The Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) is an easy, cost-effective licensing offer that provides academic institutions with assured coverage for desktop platform products with one annual employee count, the flexibility to add products in any quantity and simplified asset management—all under a single, subscription agreement.

EES provides participating institutions the benefits of:

Easy Compliance: Through the simplicity and predictability of counting FTE employees just once per year you can be confident you are fully covered for the desktop platform products you’ve selected regardless of yearly fluctuations in employees or devices.
Customized Solutions: Easily add additional products organization-wide, department-wide, or for individual licenses at any time during your subscription term so you can deliver the right mix of technology and services to your faculty, staff, and students.
Simplified Asset Management: Self-service tools such as the Volume Licensing Service Center enable you to easily track and manage your software assets and Software Assurance benefits from one convenient, online location.
Low Administration: Subscription licensing eliminates the need to track licenses for the selected desktop platform products on every PC which enables your IT staff to be more productive as they no longer have to track multiple licenses across the institution.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Realize the maximum value from your licensing investment with included benefits such as access to current technology, Work at Home Rights for faculty and staff, product evaluation rights, Software Assurance for Microsoft Volume Licensing and Microsoft Live@edu.

Acquiring EES Coverage

Depending upon the size of your organization, you may acquire EES subscription licenses one of two ways::

Customers with as few as five (5) Full-time Equivalent (FTE) employees can license through an Authorized Education Reseller (AER) by signing the simplified Open Value Subscription Agreement for Education Solutions, online e-agreement.
Larger customers with a minimum of 1,000 FTE employees may also license through a Large Account Reseller (LAR) by signing the Campus and School Agreement and the Enrollment for Education Solutions.

These resellers are authorized to sell Microsoft academic edition products and volume licenses to qualified education users. To participate in EES or any of our other academic Volume Licensing programs, or to obtain current pricing, please contact an AER or LAR.
