Software distributed to campus will typically be updated over the summer and winter breaks unless a new version fixes a major issue. This is to allow Colleges and departments an opportunity to update their labs and machines without significant interruption.

Typically we will download new versions and make it available to IT personnel within a few weeks of their release. This allows IT personnel to begin their own testing and packaging process.

Managed Desktop users should have most software products already installed on their machine. If they would like a product that is not installed, they should contact their LanTech for assistance. Products not covered under a site license will require an invoice or other proof of purchase before they can be installed.

All of the different available operating systems’ instructions have been condensed into one PDF. For ease of access, each different operating system has a bookmark that is anchored to its page.

If you open the Instruction PDFs through Google Chrome, you will see a bookmark icon with a drop-down arrow beside it in the toolbar at the top of the page. If you click on this icon, a list of different available operating systems will appear. Each item in the drop-down menu is anchored to a different set of instructions in the current PDF.

If you open the Instruction PDFs through Firefox, you will still see the toolbar at the top. However, you will need to select the icon second to the left, labeled “Show Document Outline.” From there, you will see different available sets of instructions for installing the product.
