Departmental audits will be used to determine annual contributions by departments. Unused portions of the accrued funds will be returned to central administration for dispersal as they are not usable in any other fashion. Each departmental will be fiscally responsible for licenses not covered under the baseline inventory or by accrued funds at the time of the ending inventory. These licenses must be purchased or the department must cease using the licenses. All products covered by the site license are to be inventoried and have licensing resolved.
Some products have less of a fiscal impact depending on how they are deployed.
LAN Technologies is available for consulting with departments seeking guidance. At the end of the site license each department will return to server based licensing. Node based licensing is available for departments preferring that method. Maintenance on existing licenses can then be resumed under the normal Master License Agreement with the State of Kansas. Novell requires notification 90 days prior to the contract renewal that the university wishes to discontinue the site license.
