Software Standards

The following chart, based upon the A&S  Desktop Standards Committee recommendation, lists software which is fully supported by ITS. Note that the version number refers to the lowest version supported. 

Only legal copies of software will be installed and supported.  One license for each installation - or appropriate site licensing  -  is required.
