how do i buy a microsoft office for the mac volume license?

I need to buy 10 microsoft office licenses for macs for my small non-profit. When I get into the the interface on the microsoft site, they refer me to 407 value added resellers. None of the web sites for those VARs suggests that they sell volume licenses. I sent e-mails to 3 of them and they don't respond.

Has any one been able to buy volume licenses for microsoft office for a small business? If so, who did you work with?

I'm pretty sure my workplace uses PCConnection / MacConnection for this. See here.

If you are a non-profit in the United States, you should contact TechSoup for this. Not only can they easily get you setup, but at a tremendously lower price.

I also suggest tech soup .we use them here at the library and 50 office 2007 professional plus licenses cost us like $400 in total.

At tech soup its $16 for each mac office 2008 license you get.

You have to be a non profit and be able to prove it to get stuff from there though.

Www.cdw.com is good also

I second CDW.. their sales people are amazing. (I can't believe I'm saying that.)

IIRC the VLA pricing should take into account ALL your microsoft products. So for example you have 10 PC's running MS office you would qualify for the 20 piece price when buying the Mac software. you may have to convert the 10 PC's to a VLA, but in the long run it is worth it not to have to deal with multiple serial numbers. Also don't forget to look into Adobe VLA pricing too. Acrobat, Photoshop, CS Suite...it all adds up to savings.
