<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Summary: If you plan to use the centrally-managed computers or Windows Virtual Desktop for teaching next academic year, you need to tell us NOW what specialist software you need.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information Services manage various computing environments which are available to students for timetabled teaching and private study. These include around 1500 desktop PCs in the Library and around the campus, and the Windows Virtual Desktop
environment, which is available to all students and staff from home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year, the Windows Virtual Desktop has been our main delivery channel to give students access to around 100 specialist software applications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently preparing for the delivery of central student computing for the academic year 2021/22. As in previous years, we need you to tell us what software you require. You cannot assume that software will be available next year
simply because it is there this year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We get audited annually to ensure our devices meet the requirements for Cyber Essentials Plus certification. To maintain this certification we need to justify the software we install each year. For the academic year 2021/22 the standard
build will contain the following core software:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Adobe Reader<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Microsoft Edge Chromium<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">7-zip<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will also be deploying the latest version of the following site licensed software:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All other software products – even if site-licensed - must be explicitly requested each academic year.

<p class="MsoNormal">Before submitting your request, please ensure that the license agreement permits the usage you require. Trial software does not normally permit deployment for teaching. If you are unsure, please contact the vendor of the software for clarification.
If the software you are requesting is licensed, can you please ensure that the license key covers the full duration of the academic year.<o:p></o:p></p>
