Answer
All faculty and staff have the ability to order Microsoft Project or Visio for university-owned systems.
*Please note: These new licenses are leases (not purchases) and are co-termed to match the annual campus agreement. The cost is different each month, and everything expires in June. Regardless of when you order, you will need to re-order each year in June to continue to use Project and/or Visio. It's very important that you order/submit your PO the same month you receive your quote and before the quote has expired. If you don't, SHI, our vendor, will have to request a new quote which will delay the order further.
- Depending on which software you need to order, use the table below and request a quote by sending an email to our vendor, SHI, at MSSoutheastEDU@shi.com. Include the software, SKU and title in the email.

The quote can take between 48 to 72 hours to be generated. Once generated, it will be emailed to you.
- After receiving the quote from SHI, submit a PO in uShop using the below instructions:
- The vendor is SHI (Somerset, NJ).
- Attach your quote to the requisition, and submit it in uShop to SHI (Somerset, NJ).
- Be sure to change the "Ship To" section to "SERVICE ONLY."
- Code the request as "Software Subscriptions."
- For an annual subscription, change the unit of measure to year (YR).
- For renewing orders, reference your prior PO number as a continued reference for all.
- SHI will email you a confirmation receipt with your order number. This can take between 24 to 48 hours for the order to be processed.
- Once the order has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation.
- Attach the license confirmation to the Software Installations, Updates and License Transfers service request, and be sure to state who is receiving the license.
- ITS will apply the license to the correct individual in Office 365. That individual will be able to install the software from Software Center.
- A consultant will also confirm with the recipient that they were able to install the software.
