Software Applications

TCU also has a series of site licenses that cover either the entire campus or specific departments based on how the initial purchase of the product was done. If you have questions about installing or using this software, please check options in the right-side menu bar or use the Create a Ticket button if what you need is not available. In most cases, you can install these applications from the Software Center (Win) or Self Service (Mac) applications on your computer.

When a department requests the addition of a software application on the computers in their lab, the department may be responsible for all costs related to the application (purchase and annual maintenance).

Here is a quick list of some of the applications that fall under this description:

• Web-based Systems: Box.com – Qualtrics – Korbyt (Digital Signage)
• Site-Licensed Software: Adobe CC (must request a NUL or SDL) – ChemDraw – ExpressionWeb – Gaussian – ImageNow – Portfolio – GIS/ESRI – SPSS – Stata MP2 – Tableau
  • Note: Keep in mind that these softwares can only be installed on TCU-owned computers.
• IT-Funded Software: SPSS – SAS – Coventor – Exelis – Gap Technologies – DSpace – Minitab – Eviews – Systat – WebCAPE – Wolfram Mathmatica
  • Note: IT Funded means that any new license requests for this software need to start with IT Purchasing. IT will cover the cost of the initial purchase and the maintenance on these software applications for users. Keep in mind that this software can only be installed on TCU-Owned computers.
• Customer Funded but IT Maintained Software: Antidote – MatLab – Muthen Mplus – SPSS Amos –Stata MP4, MP8, and MP16 – Eviews
  • Note: Customer Funded but IT Maintained means that any new license requests for this software must start with IT Purchasing and the initial license cost is covered by the Customer’s department. IT will cover the cost of the maintenance on these software licenses in the future. Keep in mind that this software can only be installed on TCU-Owned computers.
