July 7 News, Microsoft has launched a new software license agreement, designed to reduce the school's operating system and office software costs. According to foreign media reports, the British Education and Communications Technology Agency (BECTA) officials said that through preferential provision of school-related systems and applications, not only reduce the cost of schools, but also will create more opportunities for Microsoft, so that more schools are willing to use Microsoft software, which also bring more benefits.  The new license will be ideal for schools that use both patented and Open-source software products.  According to the new software license, the school will need to remove other previously used products, such as Microsoft rival OS and Linux systems, and OpenOffice Office software before running the new licensing software, the official said.  In the past year, Microsoft has been working with Becta to pilot the new agreement in UK schools, said Nicola Hodson, a senior head of the UK public sector, Nicolahodsen. It is understood that the new license allows school users to use the software in schools and at home, so the number of students will become a key factor in determining costs.  In addition, the agreement is likely to continue to expand, and the scope of benefits may be extended to other school members, such as non-teaching staff, school directors, etc. Author: Li Yuan
