1. Does the State Government's current computer licence agreement with the department cover computers in schools and administrative offices?

2. How many departmental computers are subject to Microsoft licences and what are the acceptable growth figures?

The Hon. J.D. LOMAX-SMITH (Adelaide—Minister for Education, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the City of Adelaide): The State Government and Microsoft have in place an agreement that covers major contractual issues for all South Australian Government agencies.
