Campus Site License Software Programs

General Information

This software is available only to UAH employees for use on equipment owned by or leased to UAH and under the control of the university unless otherwise specifically stated. The software is protected under international copyright laws.

Duplicating any software or documentation in violation of the license agreement is a violation of the law and University policy.  Doing so may place you at risk of personal civil and criminal liability.

In addition, students, staff, and faculty of UAH may be subject to university disciplinary action.

Computer & Network Services reviews the site licenses periodically and may discontinue a license or its maintenance at any time.

Software site licenses maintained by UAH Computer & Network Services fall into two categories: site licenses and volume purchase agreements.

Site licensed software may be obtained from IS without cost. The costs associated with licensing software under volume purchase agreements are typically passed on to the end user's department, but these costs are very reasonable.

The current status of site licenses and volume discounts is listed below. Microsoft products (through MOLP) and SPSS are volume-discounted software; all other products listed are site licensed.

Microsoft and Adobe Site Licensed Software Applications:

UAH offers many Microsoft and Adobe products.  Microsoft products are provided under the Microsoft Open License Program or "MOLP" program.  MOLP is a program which allows the University to purchase most Microsoft products at substantially discounted prices. These licenses are version-specific and generally do not cover upgrades, unless upgrade advantage is purchased for the product.  A standard form (listed below) is used to request MOLP as well as Adobe products, and the installation of the software is scheduled through the CNS helpdesk.

Other Microsoft products are available, but must be ordered through Computer & Network Services and require one week lead-time.  Contact our Computer & Network Services help desk  for more information.

Computer & Network Services is, currently, looking into the possibility of making Microsoft's products available through Microsoft's Select program.  At present this program is quite costly and requires special licensing with the University that may preclude us from participating in this program.
