UVa's Microsoft Contracts

Obtain Software under the Campus Agreement

[Nov 23, 2009 14:09] Web access to Microsoft Live@edu accounts now works.

The Microsoft Campus Agreement at UVa licenses several of the most commonly-used Microsoft products for:

  • Full- and part-time faculty and staff employed in Agency 207 (mostly state-funded academic and administrative units) and
  • Students (except those in Continuing Education).

You can access any of the available Microsoft software products covered by the Campus Agreement in one of two ways: by downloading it from a secure website, or by installing a disk.

Option 1: Download

Who Should Use?

The download option is for those who will be using software on UVa-owned computers in their office on Grounds. This is the only option available for departmental use.

How to Obtain

Email tony@virginia.edu and request access to your desired software on the secure campus distribution website. You will receive a response within 5 business days (and often, much more quickly than that) with instructions.

  • You may burn your own CDs from the downloads for backup purposes.
  • CD keys for the products you are installing are available by emailing tony@virginia.edu.
  • This method is free of charge, and no PTAO is needed, as long as you’re an Agency 207 employee.
  • If you wish to use the Work-at-Home provision of the Campus Agreement, use the disk option below instead.

Option 2: Disk(s)

Who Should Use?

The disk option is only for student use and for faculty/staff who need software under the Work-at-Home provision of the Campus Agreement.

How to Obtain

Pick up your software on CD from Cavalier Computers at the UVa Bookstore.

  • With this method, you have a backup copy on hand, should your computer crash.
  • The CD key for installation is included with your purchase.
  • The software costs just $10 to cover the cost of making a hard copy on CD. Cavalier Computers does accept PTAOs for this purchase.
  • Under the Work-at-Home provision, one copy of Microsoft Office for Windows and Mac may be installed on a personally-owned home computer or second laptop used by faculty/staff for UVa-related work on that machine.
