Microsoft and Adobe Software Site Licenses

To order in TUmarketplace:

• Under the Purchasing Showcase is another box with four tabs at the top.  Click on "Product Search" to reveal the "Punchout" vendors. 
• Click on the icon for SHI (Software House International).
• Once the SHI site comes up, there will be links for both Microsoft and Adobe products.  Select the manufacturer (Microsoft or Adobe).  Enter the part number into the search field to bring up the desired license, add it to the cart and complete the order.
  • Please refer to our Microsoft, Adobe and Adobe Upgrade Plan Renewal lists to obtain the part number for the desired license. 

Software Site License Agreements are still necessary when purchasing licenses via TUmarketplace.  Please be sure that a Master Adobe or Microsoft Software Site License Agreement is on file prior to submitting your requests.  If you are ordering on behalf of another Temple Unviersity associate, please provide their contact information. Failure to submit the agreements will delay the complete processing of your order, including the distribution of your license keys and media.

Important for Contribute or Web Standard/Premium orders - A Contribute Publishing Server License and Contribute Publishing Server Upgrade Plan must be purchased if Contribute will be used to create or edit a http://develop.temple.edu website.  Please see Contribute CS4 Pricing and Bundles for detailed information.

If you need further information regarding TUmarketplace, please visit Purchasing's TUmarketplace information site.

• In the Purchasing Showcase, click on the "Computer Business Services" icon.
• A small search box will appear.
• Enter the name of the software or manufacturer name.
• A new screen will come up with the available software listed at the bottom.
• Select the desired item from the list that appears.
• Add the item to the cart and proceed with ordering.
• NOTE: End users can also simply type the name of the software into the "Product Search" field to find the licenses and media.

There will be three types of software products:

• License Only - this option gives end users the option to obtain a license without the software disc.
• Media Only - this option gives end users the ability to obtain only the software disc without a license. This is ideal for those who are ordering multiple licenses but only require one disc to install the software program.
• Bundle - this option gives end users the ability to purchase both the license and media at the same time. This is ideal for end users who are ordering the same amount of licenses as they are software discs.

Software Site License Agreements are still necessary when purchasing licenses via TUmarketplace. Please fax your signed agreements to 215-204-3739 (1-3739) or email them to software@temple.edu. Failure to submit the agreements will delay the complete processing of your order, including the distribution of your license keys and media.

Other Software Packages

All software requests that do not require a signed agreement or contract must go through TUmarketplace. End users can purchase up to $5,000.00. Any request totaling more than $5,000.00 will be automatically sent to Computer Business Services for processing.

Most software can be found by going to either the GovConnection or CDWG punchouts and searching for the product name. The punchouts are located in the "Product Search" tab.

If you have a request that cannot be located in TUmarketplace or a quote for software, it can be entered into TUmarketplace as a "Non-Catalog Item." The link for Non-Catalog Items is also listed in the product search tab. To add an attachment to your request:

• click on your cart
• click on "Review" in the flow chart at the top of the screen
• click on "Add Attachment" in the "Internal Notes and Attachments" box.

For departments that are requesting software packages requiring a signed contract, the documentation will need to be sent to University Counsel in Room 300 Sullivan Hall along with a Financial Impact Statement. University Counsel will then forward the contract to Computer Business Services for processing.

If assistance is required for obtaining a quote, email software@temple.edu with your name, department and phone number along with the name of the software package needed.  A representative from Computer Business Services will respond in one business day. 

Note:   Site License Agreements are not required for purchases outside of the Software Site Licensing Program.
