These are the three licensing options.
- A perpetual license agreement – this type of license agreement is based on a single payment to own the current version of the application(s). Updates (e.g. Version 1.6 from 1.7) are included at no extra cost, but they stop when a major upgrade (e.g. Version 2) is released. iPad OS licences are perpetual licences only.
- An annually renewable license agreement – this is based on an annual fee and the school/district will enter into a 12 month, rolling agreement to use the application(s). Updates are included, as well as all major upgrades (Version 2.0, 3.0 etc.) that are released during the agreement period. The school/district will not own the licenses. When the agreement is terminated all licenses will need to be removed from all school devices/networks and any user’s computers that have the application(s) installed on their own computers.
- A District site license agreementis also available. This type of agreement can be either perpetual, or annually renewable, and will allow schools to install the application(s) on an unlimited number of school owned computers, as well as allowing all enrolled students and staff to install the application(s) on their personal computers.
