Mr. Poe:

Thank you for your message.

AACC does not have an exclusive license with Microsoft, although we do
 exercise extensive business partnerships with a number of programs with
 Microsoft. Working Connections
 (http://www.aacc.nche.edu/Content/NavigationMenu/ResourceCenter/Projects_Par
tnerships/Current/WorkingConnections/WorkingConnections.htmis one of those
 programs, for example.

In addition, AACC has no control over what institutions do with their
 networks.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you,

J~

Hello: Does the AACC have an exclusive license with Microsoft to provide
 services, equipment, etc. in our Community Colleges across the country?

Also, I am interested in determining whether community colleges are allowed
 to install and operate Linux OS on equipment without violating the agreement
 AACC has with Microsoft.
