Microsoft Perpetual Agreement

3. Select Agreement (Perpetual)

With the Perpetual Programmes, you pay a one-off fee and receive a licence to use a specific version of the software forever. The recommended scheme for education is the Select Licence, which offers the largest savings in return for an agreed volume of licence purchases. Although there are a minimum number of licences, even small schools can qualify for the Select Licence by purchasing through an existing group agreement.
