A copy of the applicable license agreement must be retained by the user. Once installed on the hard drive, the original installation media should be kept in a safe storage area.
Illegal installations subject the user to the penalties and reprimands stated below.
Only software purchased through the procedures outlined above may be used on University machines. Users are not permitted to bring software from home and load it onto Embry-Riddle computers. Generally, organization-owned software cannot be taken home and loaded on a user's home computer. If a user is to use software at home, ERAU will purchase a separate package and record it as an organization-owned asset. However, some software companies provide in their license agreements that home use is permitted under certain circumstances.
