Software Distribution

Welcome to the Software and Site License Program!

OSU maintains a variety of software licenses which are administered by either the Software License Coordinator (Angela O'Neal) within the College of Science Network (COSINe) department or by Technology Support Services (TSS).

This web page will serve as a place where customers can find information on University software site and volume licenses, as well as provide fast, easy, inexpensive, and convenient ways to access the software.

The software listed on the right typically fall into three categories:
• Software that is purchased on a 'per user' or 'per workstation' basis and must be paid for at the time you install it,
• Software that has been purchased for the Oregon State University 'Site' and can be installed on any Oregon State University workstation, or
• Software that is available at a significant discount from the manufacturer through a Volume Licensing Plan.

The majority of the software can be installed over the campus network. Where possible, installation files are housed on TSS' or COSINe's distribution servers.  Due to licensing restrictions, you may be required to e-mail the software contact for each package to obtain access to these installation files. Online request forms and detailed information on each software package are available by clicking on the links to the right.
