Software Requests
May 28, 2002

Introduction:

When the TCC moved to a centralized file server, one of the side effects was the planning and scheduling of software installations. When a faculty member requests that new software, or upgraded software, be installed on the server, considerable effort has to be expended to ensure that the new software is compatible with the existing operating systems, the SAMBA server, the print server software, the license manager, and the file system. This can be a difficult effort for some software. Therefore, it is imperative that the TCC have advance notice of such requests.

Cost:

If the faculty member submits the request at least 30 days prior to the start of the semester, then the TCC will evaluate and install the software at no cost. However, if the request is submitted less than 30 days prior to the start of the semester, then the requestor will be charged the current programming rate AND no guarantee is made that the software will be available at the start of the semester.
