By April 17, the UO Bookstore's new agreement with Microsoft will enable it to sell Microsoft products through the company's Select License program. This new program is in addition to the open license program (Microsoft Open License Program, or MOLP) already offered by the Bookstore.

The new Select program allows purchases without a minimum, and at lower prices than are available under MOLP. It also allows for institutional, as well as individual, purchases. This means that UO departments, as well as UO faculty, staff, and students may take advantage of the special Select program prices. Turnaround time for filling orders is expected to be quick and you should have to wait no more than five business days for delivery. Individuals will be able to purchase the most common titles (e.g., Office, Windows XP) immediately upon request.

The Institution Select license program should be available April 17, and the Student/Faculty/Staff Select program is scheduled to be operating by June (or even earlier).

By April 30, a comprehensive Select License price list will be posted at http://www.uobookstore.com/digitalduck/license/. If you need quotes for Purchase Orders, the Bookstore staff will be happy to provide these (email electronics@uobookstore.com or call 346-4331).

In addition to Select and MOLP, the Bookstore also offers license purchasing for Adobe/Macromedia, FileMaker, Symantec, Corel, Inspiration, and many other products. Feel free to call 346-4331 or email electronics@uobookstore.com any time for a quote.
