McAfee End of Life (or: how to retire software!) OCIO and OSUWMC have agreed to retire McAfee before September 2013 How the heck do we do that with a 15 year-old agreement?

Ending the Life of Software First, read the fine print about how to end the agreement. “A License for a Product shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the applicable Subscription License term.” –Determine OSU responsibilities Re: the agreement “Upon termination or expiration of any License hereunder, Customer will cease use of the Product and exhaust all efforts to destroy all copies of the Product [and any copies created for disaster recovery or distribution] and all related documentation and notify all users that they must return or destroy their copies.”

Ending the Life of Software Understand what survives contract termination –In this case, “Terms of Payment,” “Liability/Warranty,” “Nondisclosure,” and “Audit” Obviously, this last one is important; just because we’re no longer in an agreement does not mean that we cannot be audited. When terminating or reducing spend an agreement, you must be prepared for an audit from the company.

Software Life Cycle Management Guide OCIO maintains a Guide to help you through this: guide.pdf The document includes a section on “Sanitation and Retirement:” guide.pdf Sanitation and Retirement 1.Removal of software must occur after a relationship between user and University or area ends. A.Relationships may end when: i.A customer disaffiliates with the University (employment termination, graduation, or other termination) ii.A license agreement with a vendor is terminated. B.When a relationship ends, sanitation of software should begin immediately.

Software Life Cycle Management Guide (con’t) 2.Destruction of master media and publications A.Media and publications should be destroyed in a manner that allows for tracking of destruction. 3.Maintenance of records A.Licensing agreements often indicate explicitly how long records must be kept after termination of the agreement. i.University retention policies and software agreements should be used together to determine schedules. B.Place all records on a retention schedule upon termination of an agreement, in line with licensing agreement requirements or University retention policies.University retention policies

So what if I have McAfee? Please, tell me. (Mailing your info to will create a record we can track) –OCIO is working on a complete retirement plan at this time –OCIO Site Licensing is available if you need help transitioning to another product Current recommended alternatives include Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection (formerly Forefront) on all platforms.
