Obtaining Software Bundle
The 2008-2009 Engineering Software Bundle is available July 1, 2008 for free downloads and DVD purchases.
Software may be downloaded from iTech Express (IT Store) for students admitted to Speed School and enrolled in Fall 2008 classes. A login with ULink Username and Password is required. DVD copies of the software will also be available at $6.50 - $8.00 per DVD to cover media charges (each application is typically on a separate DVD). Copies may be picked up within 2 business days at the IT Store on campus. There is a $4.00 shipping/handling charge for all orders mailed on or off campus. Software installed via DVD will generally require an additional software activation step - downloaded software is automatically activated.
All software except for the Vista Ultimate operating system upgrade is available via a free download. You will not need all software - download or purchase only what is needed. The technology fee is based on our overall usage (number of downloads and DVD's purchased). It is suggested that you start with the Office Enterprise 2007 application - it is the most commonly used package. Download the others when needed for classes or specific use. All software is for your personal use on a single computer - activations are tracked. Do not download/purchase DVD's for others nor disclose Product Keys.
NOTE: Detailed instructions and suggestions on how to setup your new tablet PC for use in Speed School are given under Tablet Setup.
