In addition, any individual accessing the service is required to sign a letter of understanding regarding the usage of the SLMS Service, which ensures clients adhere to the software license agreements as set out by the various vendors and manufacturers of the application product.
If you are accessing the Teamshare-SLMS service for the first time, UBC IT Software Licensing will provide you this letter, which must be signed and returned to them prior to accessing any folder. For further details, please contact UBC IT Software Licensing.
What is available on Teamshare-SLMS
By default, Teamshare-SLMS users will be given access to the below software:
- Desktop Applications
- Operating Systems
- Server Applications
Please note that when obtaining access to the new software repository, all folders will be visible but many of them will appear empty and have no files. This is a normal function of the new software repository. Due to concerns over inappropriate software distribution and copying, the University is required to closely monitor the administration process of licensed software. If you have purchased software through UBC IT, you will see the files for the particular product that you have purchased. If you had purchased software previously but are unable to view the files for your product, please contact IT Site licensing with your proof of purchase to regain access.
