Important Things to Remember
- New installs vs. upgrades of a machine's operating system: The operating systems offered under the Campus Agreement are not full versions, they are upgrades; they may only be installed on machines that already have a valid license for an existing Microsoft operating system. For equipment purchased without an operating system, with a competing operating system (Redhat, Solaris, etc.), or without a valid Microsoft OS license, you must first purchase a full version license of a supported Windows operating system. Subsequent upgrades will then be covered under the Campus Agreement. The exception to this rule is that Bootcamp under Mac OS X is considered a valid operating system for upgrading. Full version licenses are available for purchase through Cavalier Computers.
- Server products, Vista Ultimate, other Microsoft products not included: Microsoft server products are not covered under the Campus Agreement but can still be purchased at discounted prices under the Microsoft Select Contract. Other Microsoft products, like Visio and Project, are also available for discounted purchase under the Microsoft Select Contract. Vista Ultimate edition is available for purchase on the UVa Select Contract. The Enterprise Edition is the highest edition that we can make available to the University free of charge under the terms of the Campus Agreement.
