About the Licensed Software Office (LSO)

Licensed Software

The LSO negotiates and administers software license agreements with many vendors in order to decrease overall software costs to the University. The software can be purchased by UofT students, faculty and staff. However, depending on our agreement with the vendor, not all software is available to everyone.

The software available covers a wide range of applications including: communications software; compilers and programing languages; database systems; geographical information systems; hardware packages; integrated desktop packages; LAN systems; mathematical, statistical and scientific packages; operating systems; parallel programming systems; plotting packages; text research; virus protection software; visualization packages; and page (print and web) layout packages.

CD/DVD Duplication

The LSO offers volume CD/DVD duplication. Whether you need 5 or 5,000 copies, we provide excellent prices, good turnaround and volume discounts on orders over 500 and 1000 copies. You can even have your own colour design printed right onto the CD/DVD. Read more information about this service.
