Miles Consulting Corp can place software orders under Microsoft's Open License Charity program. The Microsoft Open License Charity program allows eligible nonprofit organizations to buy multiple software licenses - rather than multiple software packages - at reduced prices. You need only purchase one complete software package and enough licenses to cover the remaining amount of computers. Microsoft Open License Charity benefits include:
- More value, more manageability, and more assistance through Software Assurance. Software Assurance can help you get the most value from up-to-date technology by providing a powerful combination of productivity benefits, support, tools, and training. Software Assurance offerings available under Open License Charity are New Version Rights, eLearning, Home Use Program (HUP), and Tech-Net On-Line Concierge Chat.
- Saves you money by not including disks and documentation - you pay for the license rights, not the expense of additional packaging. If you don't have media for the software, you can purchase one legal copy of retail product or order the disk and documentation set when you place your order of five or more licenses.
