The software licensing section at OUCS has been run by Jane Brown for the last 10 years. Jane has now left Oxford to live and work in Ankara, Turkey.
Software licensing is now being looked after by the Shop, Software Licensing and Media Services section of the TSS group within OUCS.
Richard Saxton who manages this section is looking after the software license contracts. Katrina Weir distributes the software to you via the Computing Sevices Shop. Diane Mitchell runs Media Services and supplies individuals with license registration keys.
