Software for educational organisations and non-profits
Most software companies offer educational institutions and non-profit organisations a substantial discount on their products. Organisations wanting software under an education licence have to be checked carefully for eligibility before the licence can be issued.
Every software vendor that produces and sells software has its own criteria for approving an educational organisation for reduced pricing. Those criteria vary in the detail but follow broadly the same pattern.
Who typically qualifies
- An academic or vocational institution accredited by an educational body, or by the relevant governmental standards and supervisory authorities in the country where the institution has its head office
- A non-profit organisation devoting itself entirely to teaching, whether or not it is academic or formally recognised by government authorities
- The administrative offices of such an institution
- In many cases, the teaching staff and enrolled students themselves
These criteria hold broadly true across other software vendors as well, including ESET and Adobe among others.
What we supply
Alongside general licensing, we supply software aimed specifically at the education sector: classroom-management tools that let a teacher see and control student machines, along with data protection and recovery software suited to a computer room where machines are used by different people every hour.
How the process works
Tell us what you need and what kind of institution you are. We check eligibility against each vendor's criteria, prepare the documentation they require, and handle the licensing itself — so the discount is applied correctly and the licences are valid for audit.
