Microsoft® Work-at-Home (WAH) AgreementLa Roche College participates in the Microsoft® Campus Licensing Agreement (MCLA) through the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania (AICUP). This agreement provides the College with a site license for various Microsoft software titles. In addition, this agreement provides Work-at-Home Use Rights: full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, full-time staff, and part-time professional staff have the right to purchase the media and install programs on a single home computer for the duration of this Agreement. Students are NOT covered by this agreement. Please utilize this page for current information regarding the software covered as well as the status of the WAH Agreement.

Product Activation MediaThe Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC) provides support services for our Microsoft Campus Agreement. Principle among those services is the provision of media (CD-ROM) for faculty/staff work-at-home (WAH) use. As of March 1, 2003, Product Activation Media for faculty/staff
WAH use must be purchased and will not be provided by the school. This
change is mandated by Microsoft. The Product Activation Media is designed
to reduce software piracy by only allowing a certain amount of installs.
Below is a brief description of how Product Activation works for WAH use.
For further information, please visit the following links: How Product Activation WorksProduct Activation works by validating that the software's product key, required as part of product installation, has not been used on more PCs than is allowed by the software's end user license agreement. Product Activation technology is being included in most Microsoft media including Microsoft® Office XP and Windows® XP. Activation is not product registration. The only information required to activate is an Installation ID created by the software and, for Office XP and Visio 2002, the country in which the software is being installed. No personally identifiable information is required to activate. You can use software Activation Wizard that enables you to provide your product ID to Microsoft either through an encrypted transfer over the Internet, or by telephone. The installation ID is sent back to your machine to activate your product. To make activation convenient, the products do not require activation immediately after installation. Office XP and its components will allow up to 50 launches before requiring activation. Visio 2002 will allow up to 10 launches before requiring activation. Windows XP will allow 30 days from first boot before requiring activation. If you do not activate within the allotted launches, the product will go into reduced-functionality mode. At this point, you will not be able to edit documents or create new ones. Existing documents can still be viewed and printed, because the actual document files themselves remain unchanged. When a program is in reduced functionality mode, you may still activate it at any time to enable its full functionality. Once activation is completed, most users will never have to activate their installation again. Windows XP is licensed for use on a single PC. It cannot be installed on more than one PC without purchasing additional licenses. It can be re-installed and activated on the same PC an unlimited number of times. Office XP is similarly licensed, however Office XP allows for a second installation on a portable device (laptop) for the exclusive use of the person who is the primary user of the first copy. Likewise, Office XP can be re-installed and activated on the same PC an unlimited number of times. The installation ID includes an encrypted form of the product key and a hardware identifier (no personal data is included). This means that if you overhaul your personal computer by replacing a substantial number of hardware components, you may have to re-activate Office. If this should occur, you can call the telephone number displayed on the activation screen to re-activate the software. Ordering the MediaAs of March 1, 2003, all WAH media distributed by FCCC will be Product Activation Media. Previously-distributed order forms will no longer be accepted for WAH media orders after March 31, 2003. Product Activation Media must be purchased for faculty/staff to install the WAH software. La Roche College DOES NOT provide media for home installation. Purchasing CD-ROM MediaMedia Order Form link: http://msca.foundationccc.org The order forms posted on the collegebuys.org web site will always be the current version. Many institutions have changed the Microsoft products covered by their Campus Agreement or authorized for faculty/staff WAH; this is another reason that only the current order form posted at collegebuys.org may be used. NOTE: The Office of Information Technology IS NOT responsible for the distribution, installation, or support of software related to Microsoft Work At Home. |
