Purdue Fort Wayne- Having software available to install from the Purdue Fort Wayne network

Overview

A set of requirements that staff and faculty has to take before someone can install software on a computer. 

Instructions

Here is the guidelines for having software available to install from the Purdue Fort Wayne network:

1. Software Requests:
   • Faculty and staff can request software for network installation.
   • Useful for student labs where students lack administrative rights.
   • If a package requires admin rights, it must be available via network install.
2. Provide 2 Weeks Notice:
   • Network installation can take time, especially at the start of the semester.
   • Requests with less than 2 weeks notice may not be honored.
3. Adhere to Licensing Terms:
   • Requesters must provide license restriction details (e.g., concurrent users) for legal compliance.
4. Consider System Compatibility:
   • Not all applications may run successfully on lab servers.
   • IT Services will make reasonable efforts but may reject or modify installation if technical limitations exist.
5. Consult with IT Services Before Purchasing:
   • Verify application compatibility before spending money.

Remember to plan ahead and follow these guidelines for efficient software deployment!
