Home Use Software
As an employee of the University, you are entitled to have a copy of the main software we use on our campus computers but for your own personal use at home. Our main site licence contracts enable staff to receive the software either free of charge or for a small fee.
Please be aware that the software purchased or downloaded for staff home use may come with additional licensing restrictions.
Students: Please see Microsoft Azure for Students (formerly Microsoft Imagine).
