Microsoft EES Agreement 2013 Microsoft New Zealand School Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) Extension for 2013 The Enrolment for Education Solutions Agreement (EES) The Ministry of Education has extended the Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) agreement for a further year, 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013. The Microsoft EES agreement includes: Core Product for Schools Office Professional, Windows Upgrade, Core CAL and the Microsoft Desktop Optimisation Pack (MDOP). This core product for schools covers school owned and leased desktops. Core CAL for Students The Core CAL for Students has been added to allow students to bring their own personal devices into school and connect to school Microsoft servers. Please note that students are not personally covered for Microsoft Office or the Microsoft Windows Operating System under this program. Licensing of these products still remains the students own responsibility or alternatively you can license these products under the EES but it must be for the equivalent number of students under your EES enrolment. Core Server Platform for Teachers and Students The Core Server Platform includes unlimited use of the Microsoft servers, as noted below, at no additional cost and provides a broader platform from which to launch new solutions. Please Note: All of the EES products including the Desktop Optimisation Pack, Core CAL for Students and Core Server Platform are all subscription products. This means that whilst you do not have to pay for them as you have done in the past, if at some time the Ministry decides not to renew the Microsoft Agreement, these new products will not be part of the Ministry‘s buyout price. Your school will be required to either buy out these licenses under a perpetual model, or deinstall the products in use.
