Software Usage Policy

Installation of unauthorized computer programs and software, including files downloaded and accessed on the internet, can easily and quickly introduce unnecessary clutter, system instability or unreliability, and serious security vulnerabilities, all of which might require lengthy support remediation.

This policy from TechRepublic Premium is designed to ensure every employee, contractor, temporary worker and volunteer understands and agrees to abide by specific guidelines for software usage on organization-provided computers, systems and networks.

From the policy:

Software purchased, installed and authorized by the company is to be used only for creating, editing and processing company-related materials. By using the company’s software, employees assume personal responsibility for the appropriate usage thereof and agree to comply with this policy and other applicable company policies, as well as city, state and federal laws/regulations.

The download includes a PDF and Word document.

Previously priced at $99, this is now available to download for $39. Or free with Premium annual subscription: click here to find out more.
