Everyone at the University of Minnesota is welcome to use the above software. Click on the name of the software for further information. The above software may require a University of Minnesota Internet ID username and password to download it. If you are on campus and the software requires access to a license server, you'll need to use an Ethernet cable or the Wi-Fi "UofM Secure" or "eduroam" to validate the software license; "UofM" and "UofM Guest" won't work. The software may also require a University of Minnesota IP address to function. If you attempt to use the software while off-campus, you'll need to install the University of Minnesota VPN client.
Information Technology has a complete list of all software that can be purchased/licensed through the University of Minnesota.
Students, faculty and staff in some University of Minnesota colleges can use the University of Minnesota Kivuto Store to obtain premium software at low cost for computers they personally own or lease.
