Software Licensing Policies
By purchasing a software license, you are only purchasing the right to use the software. You do not own the software and cannot redistribute it to friends or family. Some other important policies surrounding our Software Licensing Service include:
- Once software has been purchased, it cannot be returned. Thus, compatibility between your computer and the software should be thoroughly researched before a purchase is made.
- Licenses are purchased per machine, so a single license cannot be used for multiple machines. Note: Departments with at least ten machines in their lab may have the opportunity to purchase a Lab License.
Most licenses are based around a yearly maintenance fee.
UBC IT Okanagan offers very limited technical support for this software, so we suggest that you check the manual or the vendor’s website before contacting us.
Hardware
If you need to order hardware for your department, please submit a work request through the UBC IT Self Service Portal.
