What are some advantages and disadvantages of the Microsoft Campus Agreement?
The main advantage is that every computer in the department is covered, including lab computers. If you want to upgrade lots of existing computers to the new versions of Office or Windows, that is covered. The main disadvantage is that it is a one-year agreement. At the end of the year, you have to decide to renew (at the then current price) or drop the agreement. If you drop the agreement, you have to uninstall any software you installed under the agreement or arrange to purchase it through some other agreement.
