  4. SLS And SM Move to Purchasing • SLS will become more involved in across-campus purchases • Reviewing a broader set of contracts • Greater access to spend information • Please be patient • Mike Dangler (dangler.8) responsible for software procurement • Jenny Culp responsible for infrastructure/hardware procurement

  6. Microsoft SQL Addition • OCIO will provide the SQL 2014 Core licenses to SLSC’s in the next few days (will appear in self service) • There are two different license types for SQL Enterprise, with different software: • Core-based licenses • CAL-based licenses • Core-based licenses have no limitations built in, and can be more broadly used. • If a need for a CAL-based version arises, we can make that avialable

  7. Office 365 for Students • All licensing/contract issues resolved with renewal of the campus agreement • Working on roll-out process for students • Testing is in progress • Working to determine how distribution will occur, and how it will roll out (and what options will roll out) • Also reviewing processes for support • Students remain the top priority. Faculty and staff will require an additional cost

  8. Wolfram Alpha Pro • Arts and Sciences provides funding for the Mathematica license • An opportunity has arisen to add Wolfram Alpha Pro • See Brian Keller (keller.4) for cost sharing • Mathematica is expected to be renewed for another 3-year agreement

  9. Secunia 7 Upgrade • Site Licensing has sent out CSI 7 logins to all account holders on CSI 6 • Necessitated a different login name • Mailings sent on 6/20 with one-time use passwords • Check spam/junk filters if you expected one but did not receive one, or contact software@osu.edu for an account • All Secunia CSI 6 accounts remain active

  10. Red Hat • OCIO has renewed an enterprise-wide agreement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Support • Site Licensing will manage accounts • Pending a transfer of licenses from OCIO to SLS • Satellites are not included • OCIO has requested a single price list and a mechanism for purchasing • Agreement covers all support at the university

  11. Renewals/Upgrades • SPSS • Renewals on July 31, 2014 • PO was acknowledged on July 30, 2014 • OCIO is working with IBM to generate codes and roll them out • Requests in Self Service will be fulfilled as quickly as possible • If you have a server, contact software@osu.edu with your MAC address and version you require

  12. Renewals • ArgGIS/ESRI • Licenses expire July 30; OCIO is working on a license server • esri.service.ohio-state.edu, port 27000 • This should work now. • Rolling out license information as quickly as possible to current users who cannot access the above license server • Desktops/Servers: Contact software@osu.edu (copy dangler.8) with version, MAC address, and number of copies • Concurrent License Servers: contact software@osu.edu (copy dangler.8) with version, MAC address, and number of concurrent copies you need.

Autodesk • Agreement expires on Sept. 7, 2014 • Autodesk has changed their agreement • The product is “free for educational use” • Universities get allotments of the free licenses • SLS will manage these licenses • Facilities use is no longer free • “Facilities Use” is any use that revolves around our facilities that is not done by a student or student employee learning a skill or engaged in a class
