Preface

The College of Communication’s Technology Services group provides software installation support for College-owned equipment.  We adhere to all University policy with regard to software licensing and standards of practice.

...

Requests for new software installations or updates can be made to our Help Desk.  Call 471-1199 (option 1), email comm-help@austin.utexas.edu or come by CMA 3.104 or BMC 5.102104.

If the software you are requesting is on our list of “standard software” (see IV below), we will make every effort to have the software you request installed within 1 business day of receiving your request.  This assumes your computer is located on campus and is left on and hooked up to the campus wired network.  There may be extenuating circumstances (major lab deployments, security events, etc.) that cause delays.  In these cases, you will be notified of the delay within that 1 business day.

Note that wherever possible, we deploy “concurrent use” licenses, in that we have a fixed number of “seats” available.  When you launch the application, this counts toward one “concurrent use” seat.  If we exceed the number of licensed seats, you may have to wait until someone else quits that application before you can use it.  This is automatic, but keep this in mind if you are in a hurry.
