What can I expect?
-
Support Tier: Tier 2 - Sponsor Support: If students were to contact IT Help, they refer the user to an individual sponsor, typically an instructor of a given course. The sponsor would work directly with the vendor on any unresolved issues.
-
Acquisition Model: Direct Download: Software is downloaded to a local computer and installed to run from that specific device.
-
Licensing Model: User license server: Miami or the Vendor hosts a license server that the application uses to checkin and validate that you still have permission to use the application. The license server typically has one or more administrators that review and ensure the licenses have been deployed according the terms and conditions of use.
-
Authentication Model: Independent Registration: The user is required to create an account individually with the application vendor.
Who may use it?
25 designated students per semester (50 per year).
