No EDU Discount for OS X Server??

[yellow]

Has anyone here purchased OS X Server with an EDU discount? I called Apple and they don't offer Server with EDU pricing. What the heck is that all about? Is this new?

Did you check the individual purcahse store or the institutional one?

Both.. it doesn't show up on either for me. And I called them (twice) and they said they didn't offer an EDU discount.

Thosw prices above are non-edu. That's the list price in the Apple Store (I looked yesterday).

Well I get half off in the United States for OS X Server. I posted a screenshot too for what it's worth.

$499 for 10-client and $999 for unlimited. My screenshot shows $249 and $499 for education.

Maybe they figure students don't need to buy anything for a server and schools themselves are generally loaded enough to pay the full price. Just guessing.

I made mention that you need to go to the Instituional Education Store (IT/Departmental) for your school to see OS X Server. It doesn't show up for individual education purchases. (Student/Faculty)
