When faculty buy software, it may be helpful to ask the tech staff (i.e. Ming) to buy it for you: that way, the software gets added to the department's inventory system facilitating tracking later on if a problem arises.

Purchasing Software and The Software License Czar
modified: 27 Apr 2009
When purchasing software, faculty should email imager-tech so that the software license czar (currently Rock Leung) can follow up on the licensing info.
The software license czar's lab duties include: keep track of software licensing info, show nonsensitive info on wiki, keep sensitive info in area viewable by imager-tech only, send out renewal reminders to profs 1 month before expiry date.
