Site License Advisory Team March 31, 2010 meeting
Agenda • Microsoft Campus Agreement Renewal • Reseller comments and issues • ECAL Uplift • MATLAB R2010a Release • Funding • New licenses, Renewals, and Upgrades
Microsoft Campus Agreement • IUC has received responses to a reseller RFP for all Higher Education in Ohio • Current MS Campus Agreement (exact same terms, exact same products) can be extended, with our same reseller, for one more year. • ECAL pricing is different for extension • Four responses, including our current vendor, SHI
Microsoft Reseller: SHI • Seeking both positive and negative experiences • Seeking general issues, ways to improve • If SHI won the bid from the IUC, what contract requirements would help improve the situation?
ECAL: What is it? • Enterprise Client Access License • A Client Access License enables you to connect devices or user accounts to Microsoft Servers. • An addition to the CoreCAL we are currently licensed for • Roughly half the University is currently uplifted to ECAL
CoreCAL Microsoft Windows Server CAL Microsoft System Management Server CAL Microsoft Exchange Server Standard CAL Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Standard CAL EnterpriseCAL All CoreCAL Suite licenses, plus: Microsoft Exchange Server Enterprise CAL Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Enterprise CAL Microsoft Communications Server Standard CAL Microsoft Communications Server Enterprise CAL Microsoft Windows Rights Management Services CAL Microsoft Forefront Security Suite Microsoft Operations Manager Desktop Operations Management License (OML) CoreCAL vs. ECAL

MATLAB 2010a • Currently in duplication • Changes: • No Sun Solaris support from this release on • 2010a for Fac/Staff will be available for download • 2009b will be removed from OSU SLS • 2009a, used by Engineering, will remain
Distribution and Funding • Funding responsibility will be shifting from Site Licensing to primary users • Some of this has already started: • SAS, SigmaPlot, and Parallels users are paying 100% of the license • Site Licensing is discussing SPSS funding with primary users • Tallying SLS use and understanding patterns is in progress • As products come up for renewal, more shifts will take place • Site Licensing is working to find ways to communicate quickly and effectively when new funding sources are required.
New Licenses • ReadSpeaker • Ken Petri, Web Accessibility Center, has driven this purchase • Creates an audio track from the text on the page and “reads” the page to the end-user. • No local installation necessary: installs are server side • Should be available very soon
Upgrades • Cisco AnyConnect VPN service • Allows x64 connections to a VPN service • This is a different product than the old IPsec client (CiscoVPN Client) • Should be announced later today or early tomorrow
Renewals • Powerterm Pro (maintenance) • Parallels (maintenance) • PGP (maintenance, decrease in copy count) • NVivo (maintenance, decrease in copy count)
