Personal productivity software
Note: This document discusses commercial personal productivity packages that are available for use at Indiana University. For information regarding open source personal productivity software, see Open source personal productivity software
At IU, UITS licenses several personal productivity packages available for use on a variety of platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris). Each package has a slightly different license, and it is important that you examine the license before choosing a personal productivity package.
Many personal productivity software packages at IU are licensed as part of various agreements between the university and software vendors. These license agreements allow IU to distribute these products at a discounted rate or free of charge to current students, faculty, staff, and departments. In some cases, these agreements are applicable only while you are affiliated with IU and dictate that you must remove the software if your affiliation discontinues.
Many of these products can be purchased at campus bookstores or downloaded from IUware. For more, see At IU, how can I get university-distributed software?

UITS also hosts a mirror of the OpenOffice.org project. Since it is an open source project, OpenOffice.org has an unrestrictive license that states you are free to use, distribute, and modify it as needed. OpenOffice.org is available as a free download to the general public, and you do not have to be affiliated with IU to use it. OpenOffice.org is available for Windows, Linux, and Solaris at: ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/openoffice/stable/
