Schools risk breaking software licensing laws according to new IT Vision research
Published:  15 May, 2007

The average British secondary school uses 67 different software packages and the Computers for Pupils initiative puts schools at risk of breaking licensing laws, according to new IT Vision research.

25% of software in the UK is illegal and FAST has vowed to take headteachers to court if they have unauthorized software.

Tim Roots from IT Vision, said: "Most schools do ICT admin manually. It’s impossible to keep licenses up to date so, to avoid prosecution, schools need asset management software alerting them to expiry dates.”

IT Vision's software Parago is used in 1000 schools, automatically scanning computers every 24 hours, collecting all software assets, enabling schools to keep their licenses updated. For more information, please contact Hannah Keane:
