mattgee IT is working on a Licence and Software Management project to create, manage and maintain an asset register of software licensed by the University and installed on various University owned devices. This will enable the University to better manage its software licences, contracts and agreements.
This project also aims to streamline processes for procuring software licences and managing renewal of contracts and agreements across schools in the University. To do this IT needs to capture information on software products that are currently installed on devices on the University network for which licences are required.
As a result, IT will be deploying Snow client to all PCs and servers in active directory. This will be an automatic deployment and will run at the background to capture the required information. It will have no impact on the performance of your PC.
For more information on the project please contact IT service desk on ITS-Help@reading.ac.uk or 6262“.
