51社区

IX B

Software Products and Use

To state the College’s policy regarding software use

51社区 respects all computer software copyrights and will adhere to the terms of all software licenses to which 51社区 is a party. The Help Desk Coordinator functions as 51社区’s Software Manager, and is charged with the responsibility for enforcing these guidelines.

51社区 users may not duplicate any licensed software or related documentation for use either on 51社区 premises or elsewhere unless 51社区 is expressly authorized to do so by agreement with the licenser. Unauthorized duplication of software may subject users and/or 51社区 to both civil and criminal penalties under the United States Copyright Act.

Each 51社区 faculty/staff user will be required to read and comply fully with the software policy statement. Computer Services will assist with any questions or concerns regarding the software policy.

Computer Services (Information Technology Services) personnel will conduct audits of all 51社区 PCs, including portables. This will ensure that 51社区 complies with all software licenses. Computer Services personnel will conduct audits using KACE (our help desk system). The Director of Information Technology Services will notify appropriate vice-presidents identifying users that do not comply with the 51社区 software policy procedures. Computer Services personnel appreciate the full cooperation of all users during these audits.
