$\"KeyServer$ <\/p>\n
KeyServer is a client-server solution for auditing, managing, and sharing software licenses used by the University. The actual KeyServer holds end-user workstation (Windows & Macintosh) information and information about what software is licensed for use by each department or area within the University.<\/p>\n
KeyServer is for software that is individually purchased and has KeyServer compatible licenses. There is no need to report to KeyServer for applications that are licensed for the University already such as Microsoft Office or products that are available for free use by anyone such as open source, freeware, or creative commons applications.<\/p>\n\n

How It Works Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\n
End-users can run any of the software that is licensed for their department or area. When a KeyServer program is launched, a license is “checked-out” from the KeyServer. Then, when the application is closed the license is “checked-in” back to the KeyServer. This ensures that departments and areas within the University are never using more copies of an application than they are legally licensed to be using.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
