Frequently Asked Questions

General Information
What does the Campus Agreement provide? The Campus Agreement gives the CSU the right to install and run the covered Microsoft desktop software on all university-owned computers for the length of the contract. It provides the CSU with a specific number of server licenses. It also allows university employees to run the software on home computers under the Work At Home (WAH) provision
Is other Microsoft software such as Front Page going to be available to both students and faculty or will we simply have to buy it as a part of Office Professional? Do you know what the prices will be? Where do we order the software? Front Page is licensed under the new Microsoft Campus Agreement for faculty and staff only. The software may be installed CSU computers and at home under the WAH program above. Students that obtained and installed Front Page (and any of the other products available under the previous Microsoft Enterprise Agreement) before 12/31/02 own perpetual licenses for that version of Front Page and may continue to use it.
Are campus computer labs included in the Campus Agreement. Yes, the labs are specifically included in the Agreement. "The Campus Agreement Program gives you the rights, during the licensed period, to have your users run the software on PCs used exclusively by your users and on PCs that remain in your open access lab(s)." - Microsoft Campus Agreement overview Page
Does the Campus Agreement cover computers owned by Auxiliaries or the computers owned by Auxiliary staff members?


Yes. Auxiliaries and Auxiliary staffs are included in the Campus Agreement.
Are MS-Project and MS-Visio included in the new agreement? No, they are not licensed under the Campus Agreement. Faculty and Staff have access to these programs by purchasing licenses under the Select Program (above).
   
Faculty and Staff Use
Can I install the Microsoft programs on my home computer? Under the Agreement's WAH rights, university employees may install one copy of the covered programs on a home computer provided the employee is the primary user of that computer, and such copy must be used for work-related purposes.
  • CD’s for WAH installations are special CD’s purchased from the LAR and not the same CD’s used to install on CSU owned computers. These CD's may not be duplicated and they come with their own installation key codes.
  • CD's from the CSU Select Agreements may not be distributed to Faculty and Staff for installation on home computers.
  • Campuses may choose how (and where) the distribution of CD’s to Faculty and Staff takes place. An acceptance document must be signed by faculty and staff when receiving a WAH use CD. A sample acceptance document can be found at this web site.

rev. 1/13/03
Does the Microsoft software on my faculty computer or (as of 12/31/02) need to be reinstalled under this new Agreement?

No. The license for that software is perpetual and therefore does not need to be reinstalled. This applies to home computers installed as of 12/31/02 as well.

rev. 1/9/02
Where can I get the software to load on my home computer? See the listing of campus distribution sites.
 

 
Student Use

Students that did not obtain and install software under the previous CSU Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (which ended 12/31/02) may obtain Office and Windows operating system upgrades under the new Microsoft Student Select Agreement.
Is there a way students can obtain Microsoft software at discounted prices? Yes, under a Student Select agreement many campuses are selling student licenses and installation CD's to Office Professional and Windows (upgrades). A listing of campus distribution locations is available. If your campus is not listed, contact the bookstore computer sales.
