During the months from February to April, we have broadcasted through different channels to make everyone aware of the software and copyright law. May we take this opportunity to remind you again by listing down the rules that one should follow in order to avoid committing any computer thefts. If you wish to make our university a crime-free and a better place to work, please note the following:

Always use original, licensed software.

One license should be purchased for each software copy installed on your hard disk

For use on the network, your department should have one software license for each workstation using the software concurrently.

You are violating copyright when you're downloading software from the University network's central server onto your own hard disk.

The software on the University's central library menu should only serve :

As a backup system for licensed software. If your department's system goes down, you can use the backup system to continue your work while maintenance continues.

As a means for testing and evaluating software before procuring copies for teaching or installing onto the departmental LANs.

Report and pay for the use of software of which the University has obtained a site license agreement. The Computing Services Centre has entered site license agreements for the following software:
