Software/Site License
TTU has agreements with some software vendors that allow us to distribute software to our users at greatly reduced prices. The contract that we sign with each vendor specifies who can use their software (students, faculty/staff, remote campuses, etc).
The following site-licensed software is available to the TTU user community. Look under the column for Faculty/Staff, Students, etc., to see if the software is available to you, and click on the software title to see a description and how to get it.
Microsoft software is available for free-of-charge for download, but, if the user prefers, CDs may be purchased for a minimal cost in the ATLC Main facility.
Microsoft has launched DreamSpark, a new service for higher education students, to provide free access to professional developer and designer tools. Students have access to a rich set of Microsoft software by simply providing their valid TTU email address (TechMail). For a full listing of available software and to download, please visit Microsoft DreamSpark.
