Software Guidelines. Software may be purchased from specific curriculum budgets and/or the school technology budgets. However, before purchasing software, staff should consult with the Technology or iPad director. This helps to avoid duplication, allows us to order in the most economical way, allows for purchasing of interdisciplinary pieces of software, and ensures that the software purchased will be compatible with the hardware, network, and security programs in place. In order to prevent conflicts with software, as well as to comply with software copyright laws, all software on Mercyhurst Preparatory School computers must be installed ONLY under the following conditions: • the software is licensed by the school and the license is on file in the appropriate office • the Technology or iPad Director has given approval for installation • technology staff has been given enough advance notice to allow for testing compatibility and installation of the new software • the actual installation is carried out by the technology staff
