UAB Microsoft Agreements (MCAs) UAB has introduced, which means they can also use the Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel and PowerPoint in the cloud, as well as download those programs to their computers. The Office products are primarily made available for installation on the user’s personal/home system and faculty/staff should consult with their department or school's IT support before installing any Office 365 products on their UAB system. Office products for installation on UAB systems should be downloaded from UAB IT’s. For details about Microsoft Office 365 for students (for email and cloud-based storage and applications), click. UAB maintains both a Campus agreement and a Select agreement with Microsoft. Each user of software under the Microsoft agreements must use it subject to and strictly in accordance with the terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions contained in the agreements.

All software products are (a) licensed by Microsoft and (b) may not be copied or transferred to a third party. Software included in the Campus Agreement is licensed on an annually recurring basis.

UAB does not have a perpetual license to the software, but only the right to use the software as long as the agreement is renewed/paid annually. Under the agreement UAB receives rights to install the software on all UAB owned/leased systems, home-use rights for faculty/staff (with limitations-see below), student-use rights (with limitations-see below) and all version upgrades that MS may release during the term of the agreement. While the Campus Agreement reduces the complexity of licensing and paying for these campus-wide applications, it does not give UAB users the right to install the applications in any way that violates the rights granted by Microsoft. Software under the Select Agreement is for UAB Faculty/Staff only and is mostly licensed on a one-time purchase basis with optional Software Assurance for version upgrades. Software under the Select agreement must be purchased prior to installation.no software under Select is available for use without first purchasing the applicable license.

UAB also makes certain Microsoft products available to students and faculty associated with a STEM program (science, technology, engineering, math) at no charge. Specific product licensing and product use rights are available at. All users are expected to be familiar with and comply with the terms of the specific products they use.
