    • The license for Windows is for upgrades, which means that you need to have a Microsoft or Apple operating system, or at least a Microsoft Windows "key"— the electronic proof from Microsoft that the machine is eligible for an "upgrade"— on your computer. Download Microsoft Windows: Faculty & Staff - Students
    • Mac OS also qualifies as an upgradable operating system, in case you want to run Windows on your Intel-based Mac.
    • The license for Office is for the full version, so you will not need a prior version of Office on your machine to download it under this agreement. Download Microsoft Office: Faculty & Staff - Students
