Software Licensing Information Center (SLIC)

The Software License Information Center (SLIC) negotiates annual discounted software site license agreements with many software vendors, and in turn, extends these savings to individual colleges and units. WVU units needing to purchase any software on this list, must contact SLIC to make the purchase or be directed to an Academic software reseller.

Step 1: Determine if the software is licensed by WVU

  • Check the Licensed Software List
  • If your software is not currently licensed by WVU, please call the WVU Helpdesk (293-4444) and log a request for assistance.
    (This is very important. Multiple requests may lead to including a new title in the list of licensed software.)

Step 2: Complete a Software order form

Please include the charge for installation media unless you already have the correct version. Most titles have one disk. Studio has two($20) and Creative suite has seven($25). Please verify your P-Card to avoid delays in processing your order.

Step 3: Place your order with SLIC

Step 4: Receive and Install your Software

You will receive your receipt from the Information Technology Business Office and the license certificate/media will be sent separately from the SLIC office by campus mail. This usually takes three to five days.

Please note, due to the nature of our license agreements, University site-licensed software is only available for University owned machines. Please direct any additional questions to the Help Desk at 293-4444.
