SENS can help you find the best sources for software, including software packages provided by UBIT, node and departmental software availability, third-party resellers, and purchasing direct from the manufacturer.
The first source for essential computer software is the UBIT software page. This includes software that helps secure your computer and software that will of benefit to your academic work.
Software is available from a variety of sources. Here are a few that we hope will be helpful to you:
- As with students, The first source for essential computer software is the UBIT software page. Many computer systems set up and installed by SENS already have most of these tools on them, so you will probably not need to download them unless your computer was not set up by us. Also, please be careful where it is recommended that software be purchased; those recommendations may be for students, and in some cases we may already have licenses for faculty and staff use.
- Others in your department or research area may already have licenses for software you wish to purchase. SENS can help put you in contact with them so you can potentially share the licensing costs and save money.
- SENS also has connections with third-party resellers and software manufacturers, and can help find the best prices for software you wish to purchase. Please discuss your software needs with them.
