Encarta Premium 2008 DVD (Includes Software Assurance) (Libraries Program)

Donated product will be distributed under this program to qualifying libraries only, not to individuals. Only public libraries are eligible to participate in the Microsoft Public Libraries Software Donation Program. U.S. public libraries must either have valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status or be listed in the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) database. Canadian public libraries must appear on a list collected for us by the Public Library Services Branch, Ministry of Education in British Columbia. Qualified public libraries may request Microsoft software donations through this program for public access computers only (donated software may not be used for back-office or other administration purposes, unless the public computers are on a shared network which also hosts the personal computers of library staff). Participating libraries must also make their collection and basic services available to the population of their legal service area without charges to individual users (excluding incidental fees such as printing charges). If they so choose, libraries may impose charges on users outside the legal service area, and may provide products and services (beyond basic services), to the public at large, with or without individual charges. Each qualified public library may request up to six titles, and up to 50 licenses per title per two-year period.
Exceptions:

• For server titles, one server license per title and up to 50 Client Access Licenses (CALs) may be requested (i.e. customers may not order two copies of the same server title).
• Server licenses with accompanying CALS will together count as two separate titles towards the six-title limit.

Customers may order additional licenses of software titles that they already received through TechSoup Stock (as part of their previous order within the two-year ordering cycle). This is true even if the current title is an upgraded version of the original software. Such orders will not count against the 6-title limit. However, the total number of licenses requested for this title (between the two orders) may not exceed 50. Each qualified public library will be eligible to make one donation request for Microsoft products and licenses each year through TechSoup Stock (for example, a library that ordered on 10/1/05 may place a new order on 10/1/06). Though libraries may order twice (once per year) within a two-year period, the combined total of products ordered in a two-year period may not exceed six titles and 50 user licenses per title (or one license per server title). Once two years have passed since a library's original order, these limits will be reset (for example, a customer that placed an order on 10/1/05 may order six new titles and 50 licenses per title (or one license per server title) on 10/1/07). Microsoft products are not available for distribution to the following libraries:

• Private libraries, including those open to the public
• Academic libraries
• K-12 school libraries
• Special libraries, including those defined as "corporate," "religious," "medical," or "legal"
• Armed forces libraries
• Libraries in government agencies

Donations will be fulfilled using Microsoft Open Licensing. This means that boxed (full packaged) products and paper licenses will not be shipped to charities and nonprofits through this program. Instead, an email will arrive with an authorization number for approved requests and directions to go to a Microsoft Web page to download licensing agreements. Software media (CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs) will be sent directly from Microsoft via air mail. Each order must include a minimum of five "seats" - 1 License = 1 Seat, each license counts individually towards the five licenses total. More information about the five-seat minimum is available in the Microsoft Public Libraries Software Donation Program FAQ. Microsoft may, at its sole discretion, provide "functionally equivalent" substitute product(s) for any request or order. Organizations that advocate, support, or practice discrimination based on age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background are not eligible to participate in this program. Organizations must be willing and able to attest that they do not discriminate on any of these grounds in order to receive donations. Microsoft products may not be transferred or resold. Additionally, Microsoft products may not be installed on computers that will be given to or sold to other organizations or individuals.
