Apple has told educational institutions that it will no longer be providing boxed software (excluding Logic), reports ZDNet.

Apple confirmed today that, with limited exception, they will cease to ship boxed software to campus resellers. This includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard , iLife, iWork, Apple Remote Desktop, and Aperture, among others.

The only products that will remain as boxed software offerings are Logic Express and Logic Studio.
