 Recently, you may have heard some exciting news about updates to the Microsoft Donation Program through TechSoup Global. This video is a part of a series of short videos from TechSoup designed to help you further understand these updates. The Microsoft Software Donation Program for U.S. nonprofits and public libraries is one of TechSoup's most popular resources. Microsoft has made several updates to its donation program to make it easier for organizations to access the software donations they need when they need them. Let's take a look at Microsoft Title Groups. Prior to July 27, 2011, organizations could request up to six titles with up to 50 licenses per title every two-year cycle. As a result of the program updates, after July 27, 2011, organizations may request products from up to 10 of the Microsoft Title Groups with up to 50 licenses per title group. This includes non-server applications, operating systems, and license-only title groups. So what are title groups? Title groups are a collection of different products that serve essentially the same purpose. All versions of this same product are in the same title group, including year versions, language versions, processor versions, platform versions, and class versions. You can view a PDF version of a full list of title groups at bit.ly forward slash title groups. Some examples of title groups are the Office Suite Title Group, including Office 2007 Standard and the Windows Server Title Group, including Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. As you can see, there are over 70 title groups available. Again, organizations may request products from up to 10 of the Microsoft Title Groups with up to 50 licenses per title group. Let's take a look at an example of requesting within the title group system. Non-profit A requests 10 licenses from the Office Title Group, two server licenses from the Exchange Server Title Group, and 10 licenses from the Exchange Server Standard Cal Group on August 15, 2011. This same non-profit may then request up to 40 more licenses of Office, 40 more Exchange Cal, and up to three more server licenses across all server title groups, until two years later, on August 15, 2013. To widen Microsoft's side on title groups, Microsoft's intent for their donation program has always been to allow organizations to request up to 50 licenses of a product, regardless of the version, edition, or language. Title groups are being implemented to more accurately adhere to Microsoft's program guidelines. Most organizations will not be impacted by this change.
