SourceTree in Education - Licensing and Installing

Ady_Gould

Hello

We have a double edged issue with wishing to use SourceTree.

 

Firstly - is there a method to use Microsoft's System Centre - Software Centre to package a complete (including Hg and Git) installation of Sourcetree for network deployment?

 

Secondly - the IT guys here have indicated that they are concerned about the "The software license agreement for SourceTree imposes a number of severe restrictions which render it unsuitable for use at NMT."

I'm asking for clarification on this, so more details later.

 

From my view, is there a way we could automatically register students as uses of SourceTree as an automated part of the installation process?

 

As I said, more on the license query later.

Hi Adrian,

You can use Sourcetree's MSI to automate deployment and completely manage versions of our app and its dependencies as described here: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/enterprise 

There is no way to automate the registration process currently (we are aware of the use case for educational labs that want to re-image their labs regularly but don't have an alternative at the moment.)

Please follow up with the remaining questions around licensing for clarification.

Cheers,

Brian Ganninger
