軟體項目和授權

• 每個合格機構每兩年可申領最多六個軟體項目(Title)，每個軟體項目最多有五十個用戶授權證 (Client Access Licenses, CALs)，惟不適用於下列情況：

• 伺服器軟體項目(Server License Title)，機構只可申請一套伺服器軟體及最多50個 CALs。換言之，機構不能申請兩套相同的伺服器軟體。
• 伺服器軟體(Server License) 及其 CALs 各佔一個軟體項目。每個機構最多可申請共六個軟體項目。

• 在微軟軟體捐贈計劃的兩年申請期內，機構可以再次為同一個軟體項目申請更多的授權證，即使有關的軟體項目已經升級，依然不受影響。換言之，新的申請將不會計算為另一個軟體項目，惟前後兩次申請的授權證總數目仍然必須維持在五十個或以下。
  
• 合格的機構在兩年內最多可申請兩次，每年一次。
  
• 每間機構第一次申請軟體，即啟動一個兩年申請期的循環。循環開始一整年後，該機構方可第二次申請。例如：一所機構在2008年7月1日申請後，必須待2009年7月1日後可再次申請軟體。
  
• 在該兩年期內，申請的產品總計最多為六個軟體項目，每個軟體項目最多為五十個用戶授權證（或每個伺服器軟體項目的一個授權證）
  
• 機構首次下單的兩年申請循環屆滿後，申請的數目限額便立即重設，開始另一個兩年申請循環。例如一個機構在2008年7 月1日下單申請六個軟體及每個軟體的五十個授權證（或一個伺服器題號的一個授權證），該機構可於2009年7月1日或以後重新下單申請同一限額的軟體。
  
• 捐贈的軟體將以微軟 Microsoft Open Licensing 的形式贈予各機構，換言之，此捐贈計劃將不會提供盒裝產品及紙張授權書。替代的將是核淮申請後發給機構的email郵件確認書連同有關授權序號，以及如何到微軟網站下載授權合約的方法。有關的媒體光碟則由微軟直接空運給申請的機構。
  
• 每次訂單最少數目為五個「座位」(seats)。一個授權證即為一個「座位」。除伺服器軟體外，每個授權證均計算為五個最低限額之一。每一個伺服器軟體授權證則計算為五個「座位」，只須一個授權證便可符合座位規定。
  
• 微軟公司有權以「功能等同」的替代產品取代任何有關的軟體申請產品。
  
• 微軟產品不得轉讓或轉售。此外，有關微軟產品不得安裝在任何轉贈或轉讓至其他機構或個人之電腦內。

Guidelines

• Each eligible organisation may request up to six titles, and up to 50 user licences per title every two-year period, with the following exceptions

• For server titles, organisations may request one server licence per title and up to 50 Client Access Licences (CALs). i.e. organisations may not order two copies of the same server title
• Server licences with accompanying CALS will, together, count as two separate titles towards the six-title limit

• Organisations may order additional licences of software titles that they already received through the Microsoft Software Donations Programme (as part of their previous order within the two-year ordering cycle). This is true even if the current title is an upgraded version of the original software. Such orders will not count against the 6-title limit. However, the total number of licences requested for this title (between the two orders) may not exceed 50
• Eligible organisations may place a maximum of two orders (one per year) within a two-year period
• An organisation's first order initiates a two-year ordering cycle. After the ordering cycle has begun, an organisation must wait one full year before placing a second order. i.e. an organisation that placed an order on 01/07/06 may place a new order 01/07/07
• The combined total of products ordered in a two-year period may not exceed six titles and 50 user licences per title (or one licence per server title)
• Once two years have passed since an organisation's original order, the order limits will be reset. i.e. an organisation that placed an order on 01/07/06 may order six new titles and 50 licences per title (or one licence per server title) on 01/07/08
• Donations will be fulfilled using Microsoft Open Licensing. This means that boxed (full packaged) products and paper licences will not be shipped to organisations through this programme. Instead, an e-mail will arrive with an authorisation number for approved requests and directions to go to a Microsoft Web page to download licensing agreements. Software media (CDs) will be sent directly from Microsoft via air mail.
• Each order must include a minimum of five "seats." One licence = one seat. Each licence counts individually toward the five-licence total except for server licences. Server licences count as five seats, and thus fulfill the five-seat requirement on their own
• Microsoft may, at its sole discretion, provide "functionally equivalent" substitute product(s) for any request or order.
• Microsoft products may not be transferred or resold. Additionally, Microsoft products may not be installed on computers that will be given to or sold to other organisations or individuals.
