About the Apple Maintenance Program (AMP), adapted from the Apple Store for Higher Education: In a nutshell, the Apple Maintenance Program enables organizations like yours to subscribe to software upgrades instead of purchasing them each time they are released, and to benefit from substantial savings over time.

A three-year, non-cancelable agreement that entitles your organization to receive every major upgrade release to Mac OS X, the Apple Maintenance Program is designed to protect your software investment and reduce your total cost of ownership. The program's affordable one-time fee simplifies budget management, reduces your administrative overhead, and puts a lid on IT maintenance and software distribution costs. Upgrades are shipped automatically, so all of your computers can be standardized with the latest software. And, naturally, the more computers you've licensed, the more you'll save.

The College of Sciences & Mathematics currently holds two Apple Maintenance Program Multiple-Seat Licenses:

COSAM AMP 2003-10-07: A 100-seat license, purchased on October 7, 2003, providing new versions of Mac OS X until October 6, 2006. All 100 seats belong within COSAM.

COSAM AMP 2005-02-11: A 238-seat license, purchased on February 11, 2005, providing new versions of Mac OS X until February 10, 2008. COSAM owns 149 seats; ACESAG, 8 seats; RBD Library, 12 seats; Plainsman, 25 seats; CSSE, 40 seats; Business, 4 seats.
