Information Services and Technology (IS&T) is pleased to inform the communi=
ty that we are now offering Microsoft Office Professional licenses at no co=
st to all MIT students through the Institute's Microsoft Campus Agreement (=
MSCA).
Centrally funded Microsoft Office licenses have been available to MIT facul=
ty, staff and departments through the MSCA since 2004. In response to numer=
ous requests, IS&T aggressively renegotiated MIT's MSCA to include coverage=
for students. Departments, labs and centers that have funded Microsoft Off=
ice for their students under the MSCA will no longer need to do so.
Under the new agreement, each MIT student is entitled to install Microsoft =
Office on one personally owned machine. Students can download the software =
from the Microsoft Campus Agreement for Office download site: https://msca.=
mit.edu/cgi-bin/msoffice (certificates http://ist.mit.edu/services/certific=
ates required).
For additional information on installing and using Microsoft Office product=
s, visit the Obtaining Microsoft Office page http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x=
/UjpB in the Hermes knowledge base. Members of the community can also freel=
y access online training on Microsoft Office products at lynda.com http://l=
ynda.mit.edu.
Please feel free to share this with others in your department, lab or cente=
r. If you have any questions or concerns, please send email to msoftcampus=
@mit.edu.
