[Engineering] Balsamiq or Axure license

Thu Feb 25 20:47:00 UTC 2016

We do not have a site license. I talked to OIT about this in Nov 2014, and
neither they nor Design dept could find any evidence that we did have any.
(Jared, Brandon, and Steven, had individually purchased licenses).

Your options are:
* Follow the instructions I put on officewiki, for requesting a non-profit
license. (I hadn't tried it, but have been meaning to, and wrote those
notes-to-self. It sounds like you tried it, and it hasn't been working. :< )
* Write to OIT, and ask them to purchase a license for you. That was their
advice.
