The Microsoft Open Charity License program allows nonprofit organizations to purchase multiple software licenses—rather than multiple software packages—at reduced prices. You need only purchase one complete software package and enough licenses to cover the remaining amount of computers.
Open Charity License saves you money by not including disks and documentation. You pay for the license rights, not the expense of additional packaging. If you don’t have media for the software, Open License gives you options. You can purchase one legal copy of retail product or order the disk and documentation set when you place your order of five or more licenses.
