Symantec Academic Program is for qualified academic institutions and charities that need
to purchase license quantities without signed contracts or financial commitments.
The Academic Program simplifies buying license quantities for use in the country of purchase. Academic buyers are freed from formal contracts and commitments, and are eligible to receive discounts for purchases that grow with the size of each order. Managing your discount eligibility can help you meet the budget challenges of education and charity work.
