Microsoft Info needed

[frums]

Hi All.
Here's the situation: Am doing some repair, upgrade puter work for local group that deals with the severely handicapped / disabled. They have at the present time 20+ donated puters that need to have OS's installed etc. I have heard something about a program / special licensing deal that MS has which is called something like I-10 or such. This special licensing arrangement allows non-profit groups to legally acquire MS os's at a greatly discounted pricing as well as multiple installs eg. 1 license would allow up to say 40 different puters to be set up. Have done some checking, but haven't come up with much info about this. Since there are many MS certified persons on this board, I would like to ask for any info about this type of licensing that you may know. Links, contacts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

frums

Also see Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher Donation Program
Supplying Microsoft Windows OS to U.S. nonprofit & school computer refurbishers. This program also applies to Canada. Note the minimum order is 50 licenses and max is 1000 per year and only applies to Windows 98SE and 2000

Basically, buy a single cd of the OS at $40/$60 , and pay $5 per license .

Thanks ecross and General Winters for the information. Lots to read and pass along to URSA and ALS. They, and their clients, will benefit greatly from these programs and software. I knew there had to be some way to do this, and not be so cost prohibitive. In my discussions with both of these organizations, had stressed the value of legal software in all applications, and they both agreed totally. We now have the information to be able to accomplish this without "breaking the bank", and are in the process of meetings and discussions to get to the next step. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again, from everyone involved.
