Software License Renewal Info

As we are in software license renewal season here is what you can expect as the license expiration date for your software draws near.

Updated licenses (license server licenses and individual license keys) are made available from the vendor a few days prior to the license expiration as it is tied to the contract renewal date.

Please check the uconn software page news section for announcements about the availability of the new keys around the end of the month that your license is set to expire.

If any delays arise we will publish that info as soon as we find out.
