Please contact Software Central for further informaiton on Microsoft Support Option Purchases.

Microsoft Select Plus Program provides new perpetual licenses and optional Software Assurance for most Microsoft applications, operating systems, and networking software products (media and documentation available separately).  Unlike the Microsoft Consolidated Campus Agreement (MCCA) licenses purchased via the Microsoft Select Plus agreement may be ordered in single quantities and are perpetual.

The UC MCCA agreement allows departments to purchase annual licenses for the most popular Microsoft desktop and server products as well as subscribe to Microsoft online services at substantially discounted prices. Enrolling in the MCCA makes sense if your department: has more computers than people, wants simplified compliance and administration, lab computer desktop products included at no additional cost, and consistent predictable expenses per year.  Student coverage for Office 365 is included with the MCCA.  Under the MCCA each department can choose its own custom mix of products.
