The Computer Network Services group maintains software licensing for some applications. Certain applications, at no cost to you, are installed on your PC as part of your yearly maintenance package. These packages include:

Norton Antivirus - virus scanner
EPR
HIP
Netscape
Internet Explorer
Adobe Acrobat
ANSOS (Medical Nursing)

The DOM networking group also will install other preferred software on PCs you order, provided you pay for the software license. These packages may include, but are not limited to, WordPerfect, Adobe Photoshop, Reference Manger, Stata and Microsoft Office.

If you are a WindowsNT, 2000 or XP client and you do not have WindowsNT certification, you must schedule a software installation appointment by calling the CNS HELP Desk (410-502-6638).  The NT operating system may prevent you from installing the software, or your application may not function correctly.  If you are not an NT, 2000 or XP client, administrator privileges are not required, but to maintain software installation compatibility, you may want to schedule an appointment.  Unless you are faced with an emergency, please allow two weeks for the installation of your software.

After carefully evaulating and critiquing certain application the Network Steering Committe chose the JHEM e-mail system (running MS Outlook) as the standard DOM e-mail application and the JHEM SunOne system as the standard calendar application for CNS customers.

The responsibility of mastering software applications lies with the division. Please see your divisional software trainer for usability questions (i.e. "How do I set my margins").  If your software is not functioning, however, please call the CNS Help Desk (410-502-6638).
