MSD of Washington Twp Software Agreement with Vendors

Overview

MSD of Washington Township is able to offer to current staff the ability to purchase Microsoft software products. In addition, we have Sophos Antivirus software that we are able to provide for staff’s home computers for Anti-Virus and Spyware protection.

The Microsoft Software can be obtained through 2 different agreements that we have with Microsoft. The first is through the District agreement for Microsoft Office and has a restriction of only being valid during full-time employment with the District. The second option is through Microsoft’s Education provider that offers the software at a reduced amount but you retain the rights to the software if you leave the District.

Cost and Eligibility

The licensing (right-to-use) for the software products covered under this agreement are available at a cost of $5 per CD for those who are eligible. The ability to purchase the media that contains the software will be made available at select times during the school year. Software through the District will not be available for purchase outside of these times. Purchasing products through Educational Licensing for Microsoft Software (ELMS) can be purchased at any time but each software product can only be purchased once per user.

Computers owned by MSDWT

All computers that are owned MSD of Washington Twp are covered by our Microsoft Agreement and are installed from our central system. Computers such as incentive computers, which are still owned by the District, will only have the Office Suite and Sophos installed on them. Incentive computers can be dropped off to the H. Dean Evans building to have the software installed. Turn around time will vary, so please plan accordingly that your computer will need to be dropped off and we will contact you when it is ready to be picked up.

Computers owned by Faculty and Staff (home use)

Faculty and staff of MSD of Washington Twp are eligible for home use with certain restrictions. Retired faculty and staff are not eligible. Faculty and staff may purchase a copy of the installation media for home use. Faculty and Staff are permitted to run covered products on one personally-owned machine for use of for the duration of the agreement.

Faculty and staff who install the home use software must uninstall the software from their personally-owned computer when they leave employment at MSD of Washington Twp, or if the software is no longer made available for their use at work. If the software is purchased through ELMS, then they own the software for the duration of the ELMS license.

Faculty and staff are responsible for the installation of the product on their own personal computer. The use of District resources such as IT staff is not permitted during contracted hours. The District is also not liable for damage done during the user’s installation of the software, please ensure that prior to installation the computer to be installed on meets the system requirements.

Faculty and staff are not allowed to purchase the software for others. This software is for the sole purpose of your home computer only. Purchasing the software and giving it to a friend or relative is prohibited and will deem the software illegal and void the software agreement, thus making you the liable party for software piracy.
