ownership is not transferred to the user. The License is based on a yearly
contract between SHSU Information Resources and Microsoft and must be renegotiated
each fiscal year. If Information Resources does not renew the license the software
will no longer be licensed and must be removed or the user will be in violation
of the software license and subject to laws and regulations governing software
piracy. The Staff/Faculty member issued software may not redistribute
the software to any user or computer other than that specified at the time
the software is assigned to them. The Staff/Faculty member issued software
