Home Use

Available Microsoft Software Titles (Work At Home Media)
The following software titles are currently available through our Agreement. The Campus Agreement grants you the option, “during the term of this agreement to run the most current version, or any previous version of the software.” During the term of this agreement when new versions of the software release, you have the automatic right to deploy those upgrades.

*These software titles can be used on a personal machine. Refer to the “Work at Home Use Rights” section, below, regarding the terms of the Agreement.

Work at Home Use Rights
Microsoft has redefined their Work at Home Rights. These rights allow faculty and staff members to use a copy of the software for work-related purposes on a personally owned machine. All software listed may be used on home machines.
