At IU, how can I get university-distributed software?
At Indiana University, if you are a current student, faculty member, emeritus faculty member, or staff member who uses a computer at work, you can obtain university-distributed software as follows:
- Download it free of charge from IUware (valid IU Network
ID required).
- Purchase the software on CD or DVD at your campus
bookstore. Available software includes various Microsoft
products under the conditions of the IU/Microsoft Campus
Agreement and Adobe software under the conditions of the
IU/Adobe Education Enterprise License Agreement. You will
need to show one of the following:
- A valid university ID
- A photo ID and a schedule of classes proving current enrollment
If you are a student, to ensure you can adequately prove enrollment, contact the bookstore prior to purchasing. See Locations and hours of IU campus bookstores
- Some software is available at the walk-in Support Center in Bloomington; see At the Support Center walk-in location in the Wells Library at IUB, what products and services are available for purchase?
Note: Staff members who do not have access to a computer at work may not download or buy software distributed under the Campus Agreement. In addition, retired staff and retired faculty who do not have emeritus status are not eligible for software under this agreement.
A student shall be defined as one who is enrolled in one or more for-credit classes, or is carrying credit-bearing hours. This may be established in one of three ways: 1) by identifying the student via a valid student identification card; 2) by verifying that the student is enrolled in one or more credit-bearing classes through review of the Registrar public access screens in the Registrar IUIS system; or 3) by validating that students in Continuing Studies are enrolled in one or more for-credit courses.
