The PolyU Desktop Management System (PUDMS) is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of tracking and reporting software installations on PolyU domain-connected devices. By leveraging PUDMS, users and department administrators can manage software licenses, ensuring compliance and allowing for efficient software license allocation.
Employee Responsibilities
As the primary users of office computers, employees are accountable for the software installed and used on their devices. It is essential to ensure that only properly licensed software is installed and utilized, as this helps maintain the integrity of PolyU's software assets.
Software Categorization
PUDMS organizes software information into distinct categories, including:
- Campus-licensed software
- Freeware
- Shareware
- Patches and drivers
- Personally licensed software
Departmental Oversight
PUDMS provides departmental administrators and Heads of Departments/Offices with a comprehensive overview of software licenses used within their respective departments. To maintain accuracy, staff members are encouraged to regularly review their software profiles, hardware configurations, and machine settings within PUDMS. For personally licensed software, employees must retain proof of licensing, as this may be requested by software suppliers.
