Licence Requirements, Faculty and Staff

The terms and conditions of software licenses can vary considerably. It is the responsibility of each University organization, faculty and staff member, to understand and adhere to software license requirements. If you are ever in doubt regarding the appropriate use of a software product, please ask us, or the software vendor/manufacturer.

Individuals who purchase software should do so in accordance with their departmental purchasing rules. This means that if authorization was required when you made a purchase using the old system, you will still need authorization using the new on-line ordering system. You may choose to do this by keeping your own departmental authorization records (i.e. a signed Request for Purchase), or by selecting the "Hold for Approval" option when making your purchase.

When you purchase software from Software Licensing, please be prepared to provide the following information:

  1. Your University Network ID (uNID) and password.
  2. Your organization name or ID, or the organization name or ID of the organization that you are purchasing for.
  3. The name of the person within your organization who is responsible for the technical operation of the software that is being purchased (if not you).
  4. The name of the person within your organization who is responsible for maintaining software records.
  5. If you do not have purchase authority, the name and email address of the person who will authorize the transaction.
  6. Your purchasing card or campus order information.

Software may be delivered in different ways. Some software products will be available to download from the Software Licensing web site provided the license allows downloads and we have the capacity to support the download. Software may be picked up at our office or delivered via courier for a nominal fee. Prepare to be flexible, as available delivery methods will vary by product.
