All SMU computers should have the Ivanti agent installed by default. This agent not only provides inventory tracking, but also assists in software deployment and critical security patching. Applications that are available for faculty and staff to install without any additional cost are published to Workspaces for download and installation on client computers whenever possible. This allows faculty and staff to install the software as needed and to choose the time of installation.

Each year OIT processes dozens of software renewals during the month of July to prevent interruption of services during the semesters. OIT has worked with each vendor to schedule these updates as strategically as possible. Applications that are subject to annual license renewals typically involve purchase requisitions, and may even require updates and/or verification of written contracts. Although many of the renewals are invisible to the campus community, certain applications that require annual renewals will also have advanced license expiration notifications or prompts at the client, often seen when launching the application prior to renewals being finalized. Unless you are experiencing a loss of functionality, client expiration notifications can be safely ignored, as OIT manages and processes these licenses for you!
SAS and SAS JMP annual license renewals:
SID (license files) are delivered to OIT each July once the renewal process has completed. These files are placed into the SAS Software Depot, and made available via a link within securenet.smu.edu for manual download and renewal for all systems. Directions on how to run the manual license renewal can be found here.
Faculty and Staff may obtain copies of select software applications for installation on a home computer under the Work at Home rights. This software must be removed from the home machines upon termination or retirement from the University.
Go to http://smu.onthehub.com to purchase and download your copy of the software.
