Below is an overview of options available to students for obtaining software:
- Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA)
The CS department and School of ISET each hold a MSDNAA subscription. Students are able to acquire most Microsoft titles (Office excluded) free of charge by either download or direct burn to disc in one of our labs. In order to be eligible to access the download area students must be currently enrolled in a credit course offered by ISET. Software and keys can be obtained from http://msdn.cs.sunyit.edu/.
- Office 2007 Ultimate for Students @ $60 (Retail: $680)
Microsoft Office is not part of the MSDNAA program and is not otherwise available to students free of charge. Students may purchase the Ultimate Edition of MS office directly from Microsoft at a steep discount. Check out http://msdn.cs.sunyit.edu/office for more information.
- Symantec AntiVirus
Symantec AntiVirus is freely available for all students and can be installed directly from the ITS Website (requires IE).
