I study IT @ college and we have been asked to do a report containing the costs of Service contracts for a computer network which we have put together (not physically, but in a report) .How the hell are we supposed to find the cost of this when all the sites send somebody out to your network and give you a quote? Another thing is, they have asked us to do a report on liscencing fees for software such as Word, Excell & the usuall. I have searched the net high & low for this and i have found nothing!!
Some of the stuff college set u to do is stupid!!
if anybody can help that would be great, but if not it doesn't suprise me lol

Work out exactly what is needed, in terms of equipment, to set up the network......price that at a computer shop (for example, Scan).
Add on 10-20% for labour costs.
Voila.

Price of licensing Word & Excel, you haven't looked far if you've not found it.
Search for "product licensing" on http://www.microsoft.com/uk

I've done this loads of times, dead easy!
Just follow the spec, add no more or less and you will get top marks.

It's not a license for 10 PC's, it's usually 1 CD and 10 licenses with Microsoft. Each license probably costs about £10-20, ontop of about £25 for the CD, rather than £100 per retail copy. I'll hgave a quick look for ya.
EDIT: It's gone up. For Excel 2003, it's £21.06 for the CD, and £35.00 per license. For 10 PC's, you'd obviously need 10 licenses. £350.00 is still far cheaper than buying 10 retail copies!  Word costs the same.

CLick the products from the right hand side, then scroll down to "Educational pricing". You want MOLP A, IIRC.
