SOFTWARE LICENSES

As a registered charity, the Church of Scotland headquarters purchases Microsoft software under their Academic Select agreement, which is one of
the lowest-cost options available.

This arrangement is also available to individual churches and groups under certain conditions, essentially that the software is used on machines 'owned' by the Church as a charity.

Your congregation can apply for reduced price software from Microsoft using the form below. Please note that purchases made under this scheme are only for the use of software on PCs located on congregational premises, including manses, which are used solely for congregational purposes. It does not extend to members who use their own PC for the benefit of their congregation.

The Church of Scotland is a member of of FAST (Federation Against Software Theft) and is responsible for the correct licensing of software. It is the responsibility of the congregation to ensure strict adherence to the licensing agreement which, unless explicitly stated to the contrary, only permits the installation of the software onto one PC.

This application form is available in Word [.doc], rich text [.rtf] and text only [.txt] formats.

Please note that availability of this license does not imply that the Church of Scotland endorses or promotes Microsoft products over any others. The Church of Scotland cannot be held responsible for any problems arising from incorrect installation of software. If in doubt, please contact a qualified technician.
