Apple K-12 Site License
Apple now offers an affordable site license program to K-12 customers, which allows a single school site to load Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio, and Aperture (sold separately) on up to 500 machines. In order to aid teacher development, the K-12 Site License also permits the installation on up to 50 additional faculty computers for the specific purpose of creating and revising lessons for their classrooms. Preparing students for the 21st century means teaching them to communicate across different forms of media, regardless of their chosen career path. Apple’s K-12 Site License program makes it easy to expose all students to industry standard digital media tools and prepare them for success after high school.
Apple Volume License Program
Education institutions often need to acquire multiple copies of software for their classrooms and labs. The Apple Volume License Program offers institutions the most cost-effective means of acquiring multiple licenses for a specific release of Apple software. Purchases of applications for the creative professional qualify for volume license discounts with a minimum purchase of five software licenses. The Apple Volume License Program makes the purchase, deployment, and management of your award-winning Apple software products almost as easy as using them.
Apple Maintenance Program
The Apple Maintenance Program (AMP) was designed to provide institutions with an easy way to keep the software in their labs and classrooms current. The three-year subscription entitles your institution to every major release of a particular Apple software product delivered during the term of the maintenance contract. The Apple Maintenance Program is the ideal way to manage your institution’s software investment while benefiting from future Apple software innovations.
To enroll, you must be using the most current major release of the software for which you want to purchase a maintenance license. The one-time AMP payment for Final Cut Studio depends on the number of seats being purchased, with a minimum order quantity of five and a maximum order quantity limited to the number of systems owned by the organization that are licensed for the current version.
