ENCLUDEit is pleased to announce that Windows 7 Upgrade donations will be available through ENCLUDEit to organisations eligible for the Microsoft Software Donations Programme from October 22nd 2009.
In addition, if you still have an outstanding entitlement of one or two titles within your normal two year cycle, you will be able to place a special donation request containing ONLY Windows 7 Upgrade or Windows Vista Upgrade, or both, between 22nd October 2009 through to 30th June 2010 regardless of when you placed your last donation request.
In order to benefit from this offer, you must have:
-
An outstanding entitlement of one title to request Windows 7 Upgrade OR Windows Vista Upgrade.
-
An outstanding entitlement of two titles to request Windows 7 Upgrade AND Windows Vista Upgrade.
Please note: Your outstanding entitlement will be deducted by the amount of software requested in any special donation request.
Caution: If the request contains anything other than Windows 7 Upgrade or Windows Vista Upgrade, it will not qualify as a special extra request. It will be processed as a regular donation request and will be disallowed if you are not entitled, at the time, to place a Microsoft donation request within your normal two year cycle.
Please see Microsoft entitlement for full details of the Microsoft Software Donations Programme entitlement guidelines.
Conditions:
- The extra request can contain only Windows 7 Upgrade, Windows Vista Upgrade, or both.
- The extra request can only be placed from October 22, 2009, through June 30, 2010.
- The extra request must not push the organisation over its limit of six titles and 50 licenses per title received through ENCLUDEit in a two-year period. For example:
- If the organisation has already received three Microsoft titles, and none of them was an operating system, its extra request can include up to 50 licenses for both Windows 7 Upgrade and Windows Vista Upgrade.
- If the organisation has already received 25 licenses for 64-bit Vista Business Upgrade plus five other Microsoft titles, its extra request can include up to 25 licenses for 64-bit Vista Business Upgrade, but it cannot include Windows 7 Upgrade.
- If the organisation has already received 10 licenses for 32-bit Windows 7 Professional upgrade, its extra request could include up to 40 licenses for 32-bit Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
- The extra request can come first, second, or third in the organisation's two-year cycle, as long as it happens within the October 22 – June 30 time frame.
Upgrading to Windows 7 Through Software Assurance
If an organisation has all the Windows licenses it needs, and merely wants to upgrade them to Windows 7, it can do so without placing a donation request IF the Microsoft Software Assurance for those Windows licenses was in effect on October 22, 2009.
