The University provides a range of licensed software for student and staff use.
Although many of the software licences available through the University are provided for staff and departments for use on University-provided computers, there are some that students can use for their own computers. The available software varies for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Once a software request has been approved and processed, you will receive an email from the Software Procurement team with the licensing details and installation instructions. Alternatively, you may be directed to lodge a request with AskOtago for further assistance from your desktop support team.
Staff and departments at the University can order software for their work computers. Staff can also request some software to use on their laptops or home computers.
"Domain-joined" computers (computers that you log in to with your University username and password) can use the Software Centre or Company Portal to install commonly used software without needing administrator credentials.
