Student version of MS Windows no longer sold

in Sales
May 8th, 2012

The IT Help Center will no longer be selling the student priced version of Microsoft Windows. Microsoft has ended the Student Select Licensing program that it was a part of.

Key Information:
This does NOT affect our selling Microsoft Office for $39. That continues as before.
This does NOT affect BU departments getting Windows through the Enterprise Agreement. That continues as before.

From now on, students can purchase Windows through the Microsoft Student Store for $64 (license only, $15 for the optional media disc). The software from the store is licensed for students only, faculty and staff must look elsewhere for personal purchases of Windows. (And they may NOT download it from the Enterprise Agreement page for their personal computer.)
