Microsoft Licenses Available for UMass Amherst Faculty and Staff

Starting this summer, UMass Amherst faculty and staff can obtain licenses for popular Microsoft software and desktop operating systems for University–owned computers at no additional cost. Licenses will be available through the Microsoft Campus Agreement (MCA) for:

  • Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus and Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise for Windows (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, and more)
  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Macintosh (includes Word, Powerpoint, Excel and more)
  • Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows XP
  • Client Access Licenses (CALs) for Windows Server, Exchange, and SharePoint

Instructors should consult with their department’s IT staff before installing software on work computers.  While this software is currently only available for University-owned computers, a home use option is expected in Fall 2010.
