Journey Education Marketing DBA Academic Superstore offers 4 different types of programs for NE ESU Cooperative Schools:
1. Microsoft Select Licensing for Academic
2. Microsoft School Agreements
3. Adobe CLP Volume Licensing
4. Microsoft Student Select Purchasing
Microsoft Select License for Academic
This is a volume licensing agreement that offers low pricing with a high level of flexibility. The Nebraska ESU Select Agreement is among the lowest possible pricing for individual license and media purchases. Benefits include:
• Simple, convenient license acquisition
• Flexible payment options
• Volume purchasing power
• Extensive product listing
• Increased value with the Software Assurance option
• Software evaluation and training copies
Microsoft School Agreement
As an alternative to the Select Agreement, the Nebraska ESU Coop and Journey Education also offer a program called School Agreement that may be a better choice for schools that maintain a regular upgrade cycle. The School Agreement is a group volume subscription program that can simplify budgeting and purchasing on an annual basis. By aggregating volume across a number of districts the participants in a School Agreement can achieve the lowest possible license costs for Microsoft products while staying current with the latest releases. Benefits include:
• Easy Compliance. Because all of your school’s computers and users are covered throughout the subscription term, it’s easy to ensure that yoru school is fully licensed for use of the products you’ve selected
• Low Administration. Subscription licensing eliminates the need to track licenses for individual School Agreement licensed products on every computer. This is especially helpful for managing software assets in a decentralized environment.
• Current Technology. With subscription licensing programs, your users can run the most current version of the software products included in your agreement, and your institution automatically receives media for products that upgrade during your agreement term.
• Simple Budgeting and Purchasing. One annual payment covers all of the School Agreement products you’ve selected for the year.
Adobe CLP Volume Licensing
NE ESU Cooperative Purchasing and Journey Education Marketing also offer Adobe’s CLP Volume Licensing Program for its members. Schools can cut costs and simplify software administration on volume software licenses over the two-year membership period. Benefits also include:
• Perpetual License
