3. SLS Changes Servers In early November, OCIO Site Licensing changed servers for software downloads –Initially, this caused some issues –Issues were marked resolved by about the third week of Nov. Improvements include: –Additional, enterprise-level support –More reliable large-file downloads –Faster downloads

4. Last month we told you about a change in MS student licensing. Here’s the rundown: –MS is offering schools the ability to license students in their own way for Office 365 –This provides most of the value from the more expensive option ($100k+/year more) that we did not option to buy in our renewal –Rollout: this is the hard part Microsoft Student Advantage

5. Office 365 for Students Offering allows students to install five desktop copies and five mobile copies of Office locally. License is subscription, not perpetual This would be an add-on to Buckeye Mail for students –We would need to do a lot of backend work to make this work for us.

6. Office 365 for Students WiredOut will continue selling perpetual Office licenses to students/faculty/staff for $50. Over time, we will be able to bring on Office 365 ProPlus, but impressions are that it will take some time to stand up the infrastructure Once it is stood up, it will likely also be sold through WiredOut

7. Office 365 for Students Discussion with Microsoft on Tuesday was very candid regarding these changes. Microsoft indicated in that call that we would see something (not a refund) to account for the change. OCIO will have representatives at the IUC meeting Nov. 1 to understand what Microsoft will offer.

13. We’ve reached out to Adobe again to try and re-start stalled discussions Very attractive offer from Corel for their Creative suite was accepted by MHEC. –If we buy enough we can put it in the hands of students cheaply ($15/copy for a perpetual license) –Corel is interested in an IUC-wide deal that might be better than the MHEC pricing, as well. Adobe and Corel
