Site License Software Coordinator Services Expanded

OIT Customer Services has provided an option for authorized IT 
staff at OSU to subdistribute, in compliance with product 
licensing terms, site licensed software to their departments or 
units. This has been used for software that is distributed in 
hardcopy form and typically by IT staff at regional campuses who 
handle distributions to their users. 

Today the concept is being expanded. A new web site is being 
established at 

http://osusls.service.ohio-state.edu 

which will add a tab for SLS Coordinator (SLSC) in addition to 
the tabs you normally see on the Software Downloads site.  This 
will enable the SLSC to now obtain some software online in a 
restricted area of the web pages. It will initially contain four 
software titles which are restricted for electronic download to 
SLSCs: 

Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 for Windows
Microsoft Office Professional 2004 for Mac
Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit
Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit

Download of these products is restricted because the volume 
licensed media can be distributed online only for institutional 
installation on OSU campuses on OSU-owned equipment. 

Additional titles may be added to the restricted software tab in 
the future, where applicable. Additional tools to aid SLSCs in 
software administration are being developed. 

Regular OSU faculty or staff who would like to apply for SLSC 
authorization may access the request application online at
