Software Purchases
Software licenses can be purchased by individual users and/or departments within UCD for applications that are not already provided by IT Services. In each case, it is recommended that users check the supplier website and the Software Catalogue for each product as pricing or lists of regional resellers are often advertised. If the software is for academic use, it would be advisable to check with the supplier to see if there are educational discounts available. Please note that the cost for physical media and manuals is often charged seperately as only one media pack may be required even if multiple licenses are being purchased.
IT Services also have a number of license agreements in place that allow purchase of some products at greatly reduced pricing. Our current Microsoft and Adobe license agreements are with Micromail Ireland and current prices may be requested directly from the relevant contacts listed below. Purchases should be made through the UCD purchase order system. Details of software available for purchase are available in the Software Catalogue.
