Tufts University uses the LANDesk® Academic License Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) program.

In addition to cost-effective licensing that works within the typically tight annual budgets of education customers, the program simplifies budgeting. LANDesk's Academic Alliance FTE program provides the right to use products purchased, regardless of the number of computers. Easily calculate your annual fee, based on the total number of FTE students and staff.

License administration is also simplified. The LANDesk Academic License FTE program authorizes administrators to count and pay only once a year, even as student counts fluctuate.
