Windows Server is Microsoft's solution for workgroup file, print, and communication servers, as well as for Internet content delivery. If an organization has a large number of authenticated external Internet users accessing Windows Server or utilizing Windows Services, an external connector license (ECL) allows an unlimited number of simultaneous connections.
This donation provides one ECL for Windows Server. For a small number of authenticated external users, a more economical solution might be to acquire client access licenses (CALs) for the maximum number of simultaneous connections expected. Please note that an organization with an ECL still has to acquire CALs for the internal devices accessing the server. No license is required for anonymous Internet users.
Additional Information
CALs, ECLs, and management licenses (MLs) offered through the CTX Programme are always for the currently offered version of the server software. However, these licenses can also be used with earlier versions of the server software.
For additional information about the available editions of Windows Server and the server and client licensing requirements, see the Guide to Windows Server Editions and Licensing.
License Only
This license does not require media, license keys, or setup codes.

PowerPoint 2008 for Mac is a tool for designing, preparing, presenting, and publishing slide shows and presentations. PowerPoint 2008 can be used as a standalone product or in conjunction with other Office 2008 for Mac products.
PowerPoint 2008 for Mac was designed for the Mac environment, with many features and interface elements intended specifically for Mac users. The help files, menus, and preferences are formatted and organised according to the most recent Apple design standards. iPhoto images are automatically available as clip art, sorted by album. Office's font menus use Font Book groupings, allowing Mac users to locate and use their preferred fonts more quickly. Office 2008 for Mac is a universal binary for PowerPC and Intel processors.
Presenter View allows a speaker to view additional material on a second screen, including notes, outlines, a presentation timer, and a clock.
Powerpoint uses Flip4Mac to play Windows Media Player audio and video, allowing for complete compatibility between Windows and Mac systems.
The Elements Gallery, a new user interface feature in PowerPoint 2008, includes easily accessible, drag-and-drop thumbnails of available visual elements, allowing users to find desired elements more quickly and intuitively than through standard text menus.

Windows Vista Business is the business-oriented edition of the previous Microsoft operating system. It should be requested by organisations whose computers cannot support the system requirements of the latest Microsoft operating system, Windows 7. Compared to Windows XP, it features increased ease of use, better security, more search capabilities, and improved wired and wireless networking.
This is an upgrade product. To install this operating system, you must have a valid licence that is not in use on another computer for one of the following operating systems: Windows 2000; Windows XP Media Center, Tablet PC, Professional, or Professional x64. Upgrading from some of these systems requires a "clean install," meaning you must remove all files and applications, install the system, and then copy back the files and reinstall the applications. For the rest of the systems, you can install "in place" as long as you have the latest service pack for the current system. For complete information, see Microsoft's Upgrade Paths page.
Service Pack 1 improves reliability and performance, supports new hardware and emerging standards, and makes it easier for IT administrators to deploy and manage Windows Vista.
Windows Vista Business requires significant system resources, as detailed below. Although Vista will operate on a computer with the minimum hardware configuration described in the system requirements below, some features, such as the Aero graphical interface, need the recommended configuration.
Important Volume Licencing Information: With Windows Vista, organisations can choose between two types of volume licence keys for product activation: a Key Management Service (KMS) licence key or a Multiple Activation Key (MAK). Organisations will be provided with both types of keys on the Microsoft Volume Licencing website, but they should only use one to active their product.
A KMS key requires at least 25 computers on a network for activation. Organisations with fewer than 25 computers should use a MAK. For more information about deciding which type of key to use, see PNGO Programme’s Guide to Microsoft Volume Licencing Keys.
Acquiring the Installation Media and Licence Key: Installing this product requires installation media and a licence key. Installation media will be shipped to you free of charge.
The licence key allows you to use the installation media to install the product on as many computers as you have received donations for. This quantity is specified in the donation email sent to your organisation email address after your eligibility has been verified and your administrative fee has been received.
Hardware (certain product features not available with minimum supported requirements):
For Windows Tablet and Touch Technology — Tablet PC or touch screen
Actual requirements and product functionality might vary with system configuration.
