Using Microsoft Applications At Home WAH vs. HUP Information Technology TechTalk – January 2010

Why are we having this discussion?

Answer: Under our current program “WAH” (Work at Home)  You are not licensed to use the software at home for personal purposes.  “I understand that I am not licensed to use the software for personal purposes.”

Work At Home  Media is provided by Information Technology. Stop by HB019 with your CCSU ID, sign the form, and we’ll give you a copy.  Media is only good for 2 installs, won’t work after that.  age/workathome_studentmedia.aspx age/workathome_studentmedia.aspx age/workathome_studentmedia.aspx

Another Option - HUP HOME USE PROGRAM - HUP Limit still = 1, but it no longer says that it must be used for work-related purposes.

Where’s the catch?  Can only do one or the other for each product, not both.

The Ultimate Steal  Do you know about Microsoft’s “Ultimate Steal?”  s/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx s/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx s/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx  Must be a current student, PC only, not Macintosh.

The Free Choice  Apps.ccsu.edu - our Remote Access Server has many of your favorite Office applications available online from any computer.

Which would you choose?
