Software Licensing Standard
Purpose - The Software Licensing Standard establishes the
rules for the use of licensed software on UTSA information
resources. Only properly licensed software is allowed to be
installed on UTSA hardware.
Audience - The UTSA Software Licensing Standard applies
equally to all individuals who use any UTSA information resources. |
-
UTSA makes every effort to provide a sufficient
number of licensed copies of standard office software in order to
create an effective work environment. If additional licensed copies
of software are needed, it is the responsibility of management to
make appropriate arrangements with the vendor(s).
-
Copyrighted files, such as MP3 (music) files
and/or unlicensed software, must not be stored on UTSA systems or
networks. Systems administrators will remove these files and
software unless the involved users can provide proof of
authorization from the rightful owner(s).
-
Third-party software ("shareware" or "freeware")
residing on UTSA computer systems may not be copied except in
accordance with copyright law (17 U.S.C. 117, backup copies) and the
End User Licensing Agreement and if management has agreed to allow
it. Copies made for contingency planning purposes are exempt from
this prohibition.
