   Software Products - Preferential Pricing

 

 


Viglen are delighted to announce the launch of the Viglen Student Portal – or ‘VSP’.  

This new service provides students, and parents, with software at heavily discounted educational prices. This groundbreaking service aims to change the way students purchase and access software. As well as boxed and download products the unique offering is rental applications. If you are a student who only needs an application for a short time, or a parent who would like access during the school holidays, then there is a now a place to go!

Not only is the service lighter on your pocket but it allows for instant, on demand, access. You may not need an application for more than a month and, especially if your child’s revision is last minute, you don’t want to be waiting for software to be arriving in the post.

Cheryl Lapham, Software Licensing Director said: “The VSP is a project that we’ve been working on for some time with our partner Software2.  We’ve very excited about the ability to rent software to students, saving them (and their parents!) time and money.  We have a whole range of products available from numerous software publishers including:
