Religious organisations that are not accredited schools.

Hospitals not wholly owned and operated by an Educational Establishment.

There are some examples of non Qualified Educational Establishments. This number is usually around the 50 seat or 50 user mark, which for most academic institutions wont be a problem as they will have a bigger user base. The likes of Microsoft and Adobe offer license agreements for academic institutions that require a minimum number of seats or users, whereas IBM offers single licenses that are heavily discounted.

The majority of software vendors will allow the academic organisation the use rights to use the latest software products that they offer, and they also offer the chance to download previous versions if the school or university wishes to. This is more of a company wide license than site as it covers the whole institution.Īlong with site licenses, there are also user, device, datacentre and subscription licensing available under an academic license. However, for universities with multiple campuses, there is also the option for a ‘site’ license that allows every machine or use to use the software. The primary license metric is a ‘site’ license that allows the school or university to deploy the software across all of their machines that are on a particular site. If you are a “Qualified Educational Establishment” then licensing is different, as are the costs. Another reason for the difference in price is due to the fact that academic institutions will buy software in bulk for all of their machines or campuses, much like a corporate enterprise agreement. They believe that this will lead to future usage or sales in the future as the user has been using the software since they were young.

Software licensing for academic environments is different to corporate organisations as vendors want young people to use their software from an early age.
