The Software for Personal Use program allows faculty and staff to purchase software at significantly reduced prices. This program is a permanent license that you own; it is not tied to your terms of your employment at UBalt.
Through the Loaner/Work at Home program, you are borrowing the license from UBalt. You may install the application on your home computer with the intent to work on UBalt-related files only. This option provides a temporary license that is valid only while you are employed by UBalt. You are required to uninstall the application from your computer if/when you leave UBalt. If you need the installation media, you will purchase it from Kivuto.
Both programs are administered through UBalt's distribution partner, Kivuto . Software is provided by download. If you need the installation media you can purchase it on Kivuto's site. Media will be shipped to the mailing address supplied at the time of purchase. Please note that only the CDs required for installation will ship, not the entire shrink-wrap boxed set of media and manuals.
