[OPLINTECH] Microsoft Office declines

Have many libraries been declined for the Microsoft educational
licensing for Office 365 (email)?

We heard of one that we thought made sense, because it was an
association library, but now we've got word of a school district
library that got a message back from Microsoft saying, "We reviewed
your request and determined that <name> Public Library is not eligible
as a Microsoft Qualified Nonprofit Organization." This was after they
signed up for a trial E3 subscription.

Is that happening pretty commonly? Is it worth appealing? (Any other
good alternatives you folks have found?)

Please reply to the list. Thanks!

Stephen
