This document outlines general procedures for various forms of distribution, along with other general procedures of the Site License Program. Note that the software that OIT acquires on a site license must be distributed through OIT procedures. Individuals may not distribute copies of site- licensed software they receive. The method of distribution and its availability is noted with each piece of software listed. Each diskette or CD must be new and unformatted.
Some software is available electronically.
Some software is provided through a volume purchase plan or through an educational discount at a greatly reduced price. Most of the manuals for site licensed software are sold separately at the OSU Bookstore. Note that all of the software offered through this program is reviewed annually for volume of distribution and cost of license. The renewal of the license for each software package is dependent upon the funding OIT has available and the usage patterns. The newsgroup, oit.site-license, also exists for discussion regarding site licensed software, announcements of new product releases and interest inquiries.
