Software Licences

On behalf of the University, ISS purchases and manages a great variety of licences for software.

In some cases there are "site licences"; in other cases, much more complicated negotiations must be conducted; in yet other cases licensing agreements cannot be agreed, and individual Schools or members of staff must buy software for themselves.

In all cases, please first enquire with your local School Computing Officer about the arrangements for a particular package. He or she will usually know the circumstances, or can liaise with the ISS Licensing Team when necessary.

Software manufacturers differ in their attitudes to making licences available to institutions like Universities; conditions can be strict. The University is very careful to adhere to licence agreements.

Please note that pricing can change: it is advisable to check these licence pages before completing your Internal Purchase Requisition.
