Software > Site Licenses > Site Licensing Policy Site License Distribution Policies There are certain policies that are adhered to for all licenses sub-licensed through CUIT and others that are specific to particular products. The general policies are categorized as follows with details below:
Payment must always precede software distribution. There will be no exceptions!! No software or renewal information will be given out until we have received some form of payment. Students licensing SAS software may pay by check made out to "Columbia University". All other payments must be made from a Columbia University FAS account with an IDI, University Requisition, or FFE document. 2. Site License Agreements Required First time licensees must sign a site license agreement for each software they license. One copy is retained by CUIT and the other copy is given to the individual. Renewals must all be accompanied by a renewal form. 3. Bulk Purchases Each of the site licenses offered by CUIT has a discount for bulk purchases.

Installation media is no longer loaned out by CUIT. Any new purchaser of software, or any licensee who would like to upgrade to a new version, must purchase the media containing the software at that media kit's price. 6. Support Issues CUIT provides these licenses as a service to the Columbia community. We will answer questions about the installation and use of the software, but the licensee is responsible for doing their own installation and for understanding and maintaining his/her own hardware and operating system. |
