ACTEM is an Authorized Education Partner (AEP) for Microsoft software 

Our  AER Select Plus Agreement allows ACTEM to sell licenses and media to educational/non-profit institutions.   Districts must be registered under our Select Plus agreement to purchase Microsoft licensing through ACTEM.

Microsoft Select Plus Licensing

Microsoft Select Plus is a perpetual licensing agreement for government and academic organizations. Select Plus works best for organizations that want to license Microsoft on-premises with no annual cost committment. Software Assurance (upgrade rights) is optional and cloud services are not available.

You simply use the software until it no longers works with current operating systems and then purchase newer versions at our low educational pricing when you need to upgrade.

Perpetual software license is purchased up front, in a lump sum and allows the organization to use the software indefinitely.

Subscription software license (Software as a Service) is priced with an annual fee that is required to continue using the software. 

Personal/Staff Purchases of licensing

If you are interested in purchasing Microsoft Office or other software as an individual for your personal computer,  go to the Microsoft Student Store.  ACTEM is only able to offer software to schools and districts registered under our Select Plus agreement.

Versions and Licensing

ACTEM can only sell the most recent version of any Microsoft software but you are allowed to install an older version with a current license.

Microsoft Licenses and Install Media (DVD's) are sold separately

Microsoft Media (install DVD's or flash drives) are offered by ACTEM at $30 each plus $8 shipping and handling.  One install media will work for multiple installations up to the number of licenses purchased.
