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.
