Policy Statement

Lawrence faculty and staff should not install personally owned software on institutional computers. In almost every case, it is illegal to install a software package on multiple computers from a single license.   

 

Procedures

If you ignore this directive and the installation results in configuration problems, Technology Services will fix the problem but it will not be logged as a priority issue. Refer to the Helpdesk section of the Technology Services website for further information on problem management and priorities. If you feel that you require software which has not been provided by Lawrence, you need to process your request through the appropriate channels. For staff, see your supervisor. Faculty members should go through the department head in conjunction with the Director of Instructional Technology.

Personally-owned handheld devices may require the installation of synchronization software. See the Handheld Support Policy. Technology Services will assist with the installation of this personally-owned software.
