• Seeking general issues, ways to improve

• If SHI won the bid from the IUC, what contract requirements would help improve the situation?

MATLAB 2010a

• Currently in duplication

• Changes:– No Sun Solaris support from this release on– 2010a for Fac/Staff will be available for

download– 2009b will be removed from OSU SLS– 2009a, used by Engineering, will remain

Distribution and Funding

• Funding responsibility will be shifting from Site Licensing to primary users– Some of this has already started:

• SAS, SigmaPlot, and Parallels users are paying 100% of the license

• Site Licensing is discussing SPSS funding with primary users• Tallying SLS use and understanding patterns is in progress

• As products come up for renewal, more shifts will take place– Site Licensing is working to find ways to communicate

quickly and effectively when new funding sources are required.

New Licenses

• ReadSpeaker– Ken Petri, Web Accessibility Center, has

driven this purchase– Creates an audio track from the text on the

page and “reads” the page to the end-user.– No local installation necessary: installs are

server side– Should be available very soon

Upgrades

• Cisco AnyConnect VPN service– Allows x64 connections to a VPN service– This is a different product than the old IPsec

client (CiscoVPN Client)– Should be announced later today or early

tomorrow

Renewals

• Powerterm Pro (maintenance)

• Parallels (maintenance)

• PGP (maintenance, decrease in copy count)

• NVivo (maintenance, decrease in copy count)
