VMware vSphere and View Product Available
Due to customer requests, the Computer Store now has several new titles for the vSphere and View family of VMware products available to order.
Below is a chart of the new SKUs.
SPSS Student Volume License No Longer Available
Penn State's Computer Store is no longer able to offer an SPSS Student Volume License. SPSS has discontinuted selling Student Licenses, therefore, we have had to discontinue this license as well. We will still offer the boxed version of the SPSS Grad Pack, which is a 4-year license for $185.90. Alternatively, students may also lease short-term licenses from e-academy.com.
ArcGIS 9.3.1 Now Available
ArcGIS 9.3.1 is now available for purchase. Those departments that are currently using 9.3 can use the update media which is available for $15.
Customers currently using 9.2 will need to upgrade to 9.3 before updating to 9.3.1.
For information about what's included in ArcGIS 9.3.1, please visit ESRI's site. Any questions concerning the licensing, send an email to PSULSS@psu.edu.
Microsoft Exchange and Campus Agreement
Our current Microsoft Campus Agreement for Office includes the option for administrative areas to license an additional product called Core CAL suite. Some administrative areas have expressed an interest in migrating to Microsoft’s Enterprise CAL Suite through the Campus Agreement. The Computer Store needs to gauge interest in licensing Core CAL and Enterprise CALs by administrative areas within the university in order to get an accurate representation of the university's licensing needs for CALs.
Dell Warranty Parts Direct
Discounted Dell Warranty Parts Direct (WPD) Tier 2 Program
The Computer Store has contracted with Dell to provide the Penn State community with Dell™ Warranty Parts Direct Program (WPD) Tier 2 enrollments at a reduced cost. Dell WPD is a service and support plan designed specifically to provide staff with the knowledge, and services necessary to efficiently support Dell systems within their own department. The Tier 2 designation allows participants to submit claims for reimbursement.

Microsoft Client Access Information
Many of Microsoft's Server Licenses also require the end user to acquire a Client Access License (CAL). These CAL's are to be purchased for every user who accesses a server in any way, including authentification, file, print, or storage purposes. There are several different types of Client Access Licenses that would serve your departments needs. To determine which CAL is appropriate for your department, Microsoft has provided some information. Please click on the link below to read this infomation.
