The Apple Education Licensing Program makes it easier to keep your school's Apple software current and compliant. Coverage is purchased annually, keeping costs consistent year after year, and the new bundle structure allows you to manage against a single expiration date. Each license renewal provides one year of coverage, including any new releases that may become available during the year. And with the new program, you can even include at-home licenses for faculty and staff in your total count.

Apple software can be distributed through your school's secured network or physical media kits — the choice is yours. A one‑time enrollment fee (10 percent of the annual purchase price) is required the first year your school or district enrolls in the program.

Licensing the Mac Software Collection for your school requires that you cover 100 percent of institutionally-owned or leased Mac computers in your installed base. At-home licenses for faculty and staff can be included in your total count, at your discretion.
