Software Installation Request for University-owned devices

Overview

• Request the installation of software to be used on a University-owned device, NON-Cloud Connected ONLY.
• Faculty and staff can easily download and manage many software applications through a software management system already available on your University-owned computers
• For users on an SCSU-owned Microsoft365 Cloud Connected Device (Windows 10 & 11): Please refer to the guide on Installing Software Applications Using the Company Portal, which can be found here.
• Software Center is available for Windows computers. SCSU Self-Service is available for Mac computers.
• Software unavailable in one of our self-service applications will need to be installed by a technician. 
• If a software license or subscription is required, the software request will need to be approved by IT Procurement. 

Benefits:

Software installation via Software Center or SCSU Self-Service is configured so it can be easily installed on state-owned computers without the need of an administrator or a technician.
