Other Questions
What if I use an older version of a software?
Typically, we ask that you make plans to use the most recent versions due to compatibility, stability, and performance concerns running older software. If you have a special need, please contact us to discuss it further.
Do I need to request the same software annually?
No. In most cases, the software will be carried forward.
Am I or my department responsible for the ongoing cost to maintain the requested software?
Yes. Departments are responsible for any cost associated with the software they purchase.
What software versions can be supported by Michigan Tech IT?
IT will support the most current versions of software installed in the campus computer labs. If support for paid software is not renewed by the department or the product is no longer maintained or supported by the manufacturer, it will be removed from the labs.
What if I submit the software request late?
These requests will still be processed. However, be aware that there may be issues with guaranteeing that the software will be in place prior to the intended semester.
