Re: Keyloggers in computer labs

I wasn't aware of any license that allows for unlimited copies.  We do have the Microsoft Campus Agreement, but that 
only allows upgrade licenses.  You must have a valid Windows OS license for the machine first.  As far as I have seen, 
all of Microsoft's Enterprise licenses work this way.  
 
But for VMware, you could definitely use the player for free on each machine.  Also a few days ago, they started 
offering a product called VMware Server for free.  I think it is replacing GSX Server.  You could use that to create 
you VM Images.

I think he was asking about vmware licenses.  I suspect that
if he's using windows in big labs, he'll have a licence
like ours which allows us unlimited copies of windows
anywhere on campus.  If you don't have such a licence
yourself you might want to talk to your Microsoft rep.

It was either UT System or the State of Texas who negotiated
our licensing terms.  Does Illinois have any sort of blanket
deal like that which you could take part in?
