I am interested in ordering Minecraft Education for my classroom. Our school does not have any Microsoft products currently. I am from a smaller district that is unfamiliar with Minecraft Education. I have used it at my previous school and was not in charge of ordering. How could I go about obtaining licenses?

    Hi @Tara Bova

    Since your district does not currently use Microsoft products, the first step is establishing a Microsoft 365 Education tenant, as Minecraft Education licenses are managed through Microsoft accounts.

    For a school or district, there are two primary licensing options:

    1/Direct Purchase

    • Qualified educational organizations can purchase Minecraft Education subscriptions directly.
    • The current education pricing is listed as $5.04 USD per user per year (annual commitment).
    • School administrators typically complete the purchase and then assign licenses to educators and students through the Microsoft 365 admin center.

    2/Volume Licensing

    • Schools can also purchase Minecraft Education through Microsoft's Volume Licensing program.
    • A Microsoft education licensing partner can help determine the most appropriate agreement and purchasing model for your district.

    For the next steps, I recommend you to do the following:

    I hope this information helps.
