Question
How do I download or purchase software that Notre Dame has licensed?
Answer
Though the OIT does not directly sell software, you can use the following links to obtain some commonly used software.
Note: Each license agreement is unique and may have additional restrictions for access. Applications that require you to login with your ND NetID (e.g. Adobe Creative Cloud and Office 365) may cease to function if your role or affiliation changes (e.g., you graduate or retire).
The vendor may discontinue support of older versions of a product, which may result in error messages and license expirations.

You may need to create an account with the software vendor to complete your purchase. Your purchase agreement is with the respective vendor and any questions or problems with a purchase must be directed to that organization.
Additional Options
Faculty and staff who have centrally-managed, university-owned computers should generally install available software via Software Center (Windows) and Self Service (Macintosh).
Additional software is available to active faculty, staff, and students at https://oit.nd.edu/services/software/software-downloads/.
