What you need to be aware of regarding software at the lab schools

1. At the lab schools, we never own any computer program. We only own a license to use that program.

2. Every copy of every program on every computer must have a purchased license.
3. A license can consist of any of the following: a cd-rom, installation diskettes, a purchase receipt for the software, a certificate
4. All licenses should be turned into the technology office so that records for all building software can be maintained
5. Illinois State University, and the lab schools, currently have a site license for Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access), Publisher and FrontPage. This means that these programs can be installed on any university computer.
6. Employees may install the Microsoft programs listed above onto one home computer.

Things you should not do:

1. Install any of your personal software from home on an office computer. Once you do this the software becomes the property of ISU, and appropriate licenses need to be turned in.
2. Install any piece of software onto more than one computer, unless you have purchased a copy of that software for each computer. Illegally copying or using software can result in revocation of the privilege to access information resources and may also include the following: suspension, termination, civil and/or criminal prosecution, and other disciplinary action, pursuant to all rules and regulations of Illinois State University and State and Federal Laws.
