Information Technology is happy to announce that we successfully negotiated with Microsoft to make selected software available to students at very low cost. This is a wonderful opportunity for Stellenbosch University students to gain access to the latest Windows and Microsoft Office software.
Microsoft products listed below, will be made available to students because the university purchased temporary licenses for the software through a Microsoft Campus Subscription Enrollment. The university will extend the right to use the software on students’ personally owned computers for their exclusive use.
Students will be authorized to use the software and associated media pursuant to the terms and conditions of the license(s) granted to the University for the term of the Campus Subscription Enrollment. Students are strongly encouraged to review the terms set forth in the Student Users Acceptance Form, which must be signed when purchasing the official Microsoft media, as both the student and Stellenbosch University are responsible to comply with licensing requirements.
When students graduate during the Campus Agreement Subscription term, the software license will convert to a perpetual license (meaning the student owns the software) as verified in the Student License Confirmation, which the student may obtain from Stellenbosch University at that time. The Student License Confirmation is proof of software ownership.
Students leaving Stellenbosch University by means other than graduation must remove the software from their computers.
Microsoft products available to Students through the Campus Subscription Enrollment:
| Windows 7 Professional Upgrade 32- or 64 bit |
R 180.00 |
(because this is an Upgrade license, a student must already own a valid OEM Windows Operating System license) |
| Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus |
R 220.00 |
Students will be entitled to purchase one copy each of Windows and/or Office while being a Student at Stellenbosch University.

Hi, I am a University of Stellenbosch distance student. I am currently residing in Namibia. Is it possible for met to obtain the Microsoft Office software from you via email after purchasing it via internet banking?

Hi, where can I get help regarding an error with Windows Upgrade and the Microsoft Office software I’ve purchased with you?
Kind Regards

Is this offer available to SU staff too? And does it include windows for mac?
Hi Liza. At this stage this offer is exclusively for students, but we’ll keep you posted!
Hi Benita. One of our user support team will contact you asap.
“(omdat hierdie ‘n opgraderingslisensie is, moet ‘n student reeds oor ‘n geldige OEM Windows Bedryfstelsel lisensie beskik)”
Beteken dit in effek dat ek windows 7 eers moet aankoop alvorens ek ‘n Office paket aankoop?
Ek geskik tans oor geen windows produk nie en sal graag MS Office 2010 wil aanskaf.
I bought MSO 2010 and – hopefully – will graduate this year. Where can I collect the “Student License Confirmation”, the proof of software ownership?
Kind regards,
Felix
Does the software licence allow me to install the MS Office software on my laptop and home PC? Or am I limited to a single computer?
