NOTE: With a change of software reseller, MCCA is being replaced with a new program, CASA. The following information will be updated as soon as the transition makes the changes known.
Term: July 1st through June 30th
Annual renewal: Due April 28, 2023
How will we renew Microsoft in 2023?
Our new software provider, Dell, has been provided with our campus information regarding last year's MCCA order, including SKUs and price lists. Their team is currently reviewing this information and preparing documents to meet each campus' ordering needs. Software Licensing will contact each department as in year's past to ensure that our Microsoft services are renewed by June 30.
Departments who use Microsoft desktop or server software with requirements to keep current with updates and version upgrades can benefit from MCCA's low annual subscription price. The latest software version is always available for installation but supported recent versions can also be provided.
If the department chooses to leave the MCCA subscription service the Microsoft software installed while under MCCA is required to be uninstalled or repurchased as a perpetual license.
