Acquiring New PC Software

MPS purchases, receives, and maintains a license and registration file for all college-owned microcomputer software.

Starting July 1, 2009, use the PC Software Internal Request Form to request software. Send requests to purchase microcomputer software to MPS. . Do not charge microcomputer software to your department's credit card and do not order through eVA. Call Nancy Stafford at 703-323-3294 if you have questions.

Free Software - BE CAREFUL!
Send requests to review click-on licenses for free software to Nancy Stafford.  Even free software may have license agreements which contain legal language which the College cannot agree to. Usually these are click-on agreements that require you to click Yes or No before you download the software. You are not authorized to click "YES" on a click-on agreement for software you are downloading to a college machine unless Nancy Stafford has reviewed the agreement and said it is acceptable.
