Software for staff using University Managed Desktops (UMDs)  

Staff using UMD devices can choose from over 200 software apps to download. If you have a UMD Dell laptop running Windows go to the Company Portal app to see the available software. If you have a UMD Mac, use the Self Service app to download software. 

 

University software policy  

Under UK Copyright Law, illegal copying of software can lead to severe consequences. This includes fines and imprisonment. The University has a clear software policy that you need to follow.  

 

Leaving the University 

Most software is for students and staff while they study or work here. You must remove it from your personal devices before leaving the University. Alternatively, you can return it to your Institution. If another staff member or student reuses the software, they must re-register it if needed. 

Operating systems are the only exception if they cannot be transferred to another machine.
