Acquiring media

The ALA agreement allows K-State to use the following Novell products:
  • NetWare
  • LAN WorkPlace/WorkGroup
  • Novell Account Management
  • ZENWorks for Desktops
  • ZENWorks for Servers   (formerly ManageWise)
  • GroupWise
  • NIMS
  • DirXML

Novell products not listed above are not included in the ALA package and licenses must be purchased by departments before they are used.

The ALA site license is simply a license - it does not supply media (CD-ROMS or manuals).  Departments that want copies of the media must purchase them from Novell since CNS does not replicate or loan media.  Some items on the site license require a master key for installation.

If you need a copy of the site license key disk for installing a product, please contact Royce Gilbert at CNS LAN Technologies.  Royce may be reached by phone at 532-0547 or by e-mail at royce@ksu.edu.

Purchasing Product Masters

The recommended method of obtaining the media is for each department to buy an individual product master for each item on the ALA they choose to use from Novell.  This will provide you with the latest version of the media.

Price lists for Novell products can be found by downloading the Academic price list at: http://www.novell.com/licensing/price.html

Individual product masters are no longer automatically updated when a new version of the product is released.  As new versions are released, departments will need to purchase another set of product masters.

Product masters for products covered by the ALA may be purchased from:
