The University provides departments and eligible faculty, staff, and students with discounted software and applications by negotiating vendor licensing agreements. Licensed software and applications included on this site usually are available for download, and sometimes also available on external media or accessible through a Web browser.
If you do not qualify for these licenses, visit UMart for additional purchase options, and Services & Systems for information about other University Web-based systems to which you may have access that do not include downloadable clients.
Authorized departmental staff also may submit surplus licenses to make them available to the wider community.
