UW Software for Home Licensing Program Frequently Asked QuestionsInformation Technology offers the Microsoft Software for Home program to UW faculty and staff (student employees are not eligible) as a part of UW's Microsoft Campus Agreement. The MSH program allows current faculty and staff to install and use Microsoft Office and Office for Mac for personal and business related work, and Windows Operating System Upgrades at home for campus-related work. This offer is effective as long as Campus Agreement is in place, and the licensed individual is employed by the University. Campus Agreement normally is renewed each August.
