OH MAN!

First,Did you purchase the software?

If YES, GREAT we can move on!

If NO, stop! The software must have a site license to be used by multiple people. If you are in doubt, ask the person who gave you the software.

There are licensing agreements with each piece of software that we MUST follow. If we are found to be in violation of licensing agreements, we can be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars.

OH MAN!What do you need to do to get the software on the approved download list?

• Submit a WORF (Work Order Request Form)• Pony or bring the software to the Technology Department with your name and WORF number on each piece of software.• The software will be scanned and approved.

OH MAN!

If it is a single user license, the software will be installed on your computer. We will keep the software in the technology office to ensure that licensing is not violated. We are not taking ownership of it, just maintaining the licensing information.

OH MAN!

If it is for general use, the software will be place in the approved download list on the private technology site. Then, everyone will have the ability to download and use the software.

OH MAN!

Currently, we have 76 different software collections submitted for approval. Some of these have multiple CDs. Approving a single program can take 30 minutes or longer to complete. The technology department is working on getting software approved for teachers as quickly as possible.

Please be patient.

We will notify you as soon as your software is ready for installation.
