There are severe legal penalties for those caught using software illegally. Penalties include fines of up to €127,000 or up to five years in prison, or both.

Please be aware that software downloaded from the World Wide Web will often be subject to licence agreements and anyone downloading such software should ensure that they comply with licence conditions as laid down.

It is the responsibility of each member of staff to ensure that they are appropriately licenced for all software on those devices for which they are responsible.
