Faculty & Staff: Please follow these steps to obtain a license and software (especially to exercise your home-use rights):

1. Access, read, and print the Faculty and Staff Software Request Form.
2. Complete and sign the form, if you understand and agree with the terms. As a faculty or staff member, you do not own a license for Microsoft software under this agreement. Your license to access, use or install the software is owned by the University of Cincinnati. But you may install and use the software on your computer at work and also on one computer at home. At the end of the contract period or when your employment at UC ends, you agree to stop using the software and to delete it from your home computer's RAM and hard disk.  You also agree not to copy or transfer software.
3. Take the signed form to the UC Bookstores. Your employment status will be verified and the form will be taken for record keeping.
4. Purchase the media from the Bookstore.

Departments: Departments are already licensed to install the software on all UC-owned or UC-leased systems. They may purchase media at the Bookstore Computer Shop.  When requesting the software, please identify your self as requesting the software for your department.  This option is recommended for site coordinators, technical implementers, LAN and system administrators and others who may be installing software on workstations in their department. Such personnel are not authorized to distribute media to colleagues in their departments for home use.  Home use requires the signing of the Microsoft Campus Agreement Work at Home Acceptance Form for UC Faculty and Staff.
