Piracy of software is a form of theft that puts the university at a considerable risk.
Piracy of software sends the wrong message about our values. Legally licensing all software is good business practice and is the right thing to do, morally and ethically. It is your responsibility to make sure all software you install, or for which you provide the media for others to install, is fully licensed. Our Microsoft Select License Agreement allows us to purchase most Microsoft software at a considerable discount. In addition to Microsoft products we also maintain site or volume purchase agreements for several other products, including virus checkers and other utilities.
