Home Use refers to a Faculty/Staff member's right to install a second copy of software, obtained through the I.T. Department, on either a laptop or home machine. Only the primary user of a St. Edward's University computer on which a copy of the software is installed may install a second copy, and such copy must be used for the normal work of the University carried out at home. Licensing agreements are often complex. A single vendor may have various licensing agreements for each product, release, version, and platform. It should be assumed that software manufactures do not include "Home Use" rights unless specifically stated.
