Software site licenses [glossary: site licensed software] enable you to get many software packages at a fraction of their usual costs. Campus Stores Computer Center, CITES, and even colleges and departments can establish University of Illinois site licenses for software, so there is no single source of information to refer to when you are looking for software. The following links point to the primary sources of site licensed software on campus, and may help you when looking for a particular package or software for a particular platform.
