Subscription Programmes
With the Subscription Programmes you pay a lower annual fee and receive an annual licence to run software, with the right to upgrade to new releases. At the end of each subscription period, you can either renew, pay to convert your licences to perpetual ones, or stop using the software. The two subscription schemes for education are Campus Agreement and
School Agreement.
Perpetual Programmes
With the Perpetual Programmes, you pay a one-off fee and receive a licence to use a specific version of the software forever. The recommended scheme for education is the Select Licence, which offers the largest savings in return for an agreed volume of licence purchases. Although there are a minimum number of licences, even small schools can qualify for the Select Licence by purchasing through an existing group agreement.
Academic Full Packaged Product
Academic Full Packaged Product is the most expensive option available to education, and is equivalent to buying a normal retail version of the software. It comes fully boxed, with media. An example of where you may use this is if you wish to buy a single item of software with all of the media.
