Key:

Full support includes installation, helpdesk support, troubleshooting problems and future upgrades. This support is associated with software products that are considered a standard part of the School of Medicine computing environment.

Best Effort support includes installation and basic troubleshooting only. Automatic upgrades may or may not be provided depending on the nature of the software license. The Desktop Support Team will attempt to resolve issues that are reported, but success is not guaranteed and the user may be directed to the manufacturer for support. This support is associated with software products that are deemed necessary for teaching, research or university purposes, but whose operational behavior is outside the scope of Medical School Information Systems.

None is assigned to very specialized or infrequently used software products. This category of support includes a best efforts attempt to install the software product.

If the version is not specified, the current version is assumed. This is used with software products where the version is not important, for example, WS FTP.

If order online is listed, the software can be downloaded for free or a license to use the software product can be purchased by the requestor from the Software Clearinghouse.
