In addition to the resources listed here you should contact your department computer support organization since UCLA departments may have software available already or may coordinate the purchase of software for department use. The Software License Agreements listed on this website are negotiated and administered by Academic Technology Services -Software Central.
Some software is available to departments only or provide a volume discount for multiple licenses.
Some software is available at no charge and the media is distributed to departments or eligible individuals by ATS over the campus backbone network. The Computer Store is the designated on-campus reseller for a wide variety of popular software packages available to UCLA students, staff, faculty, and departments under negotiated contracts and agreements. The UCLA Purchasing Department is the only UCLA department that can sign software license agreements and they can also provide assistance to UCLA Departments in preparing orders to software vendors. Many vendors offer licensing programs ideally suited to departmental multi-license needs. Other vendors have established agreements with UCLA or the UC System and Purchasing can assure that required agreement numbers are referenced when purchasing software covered by such agreements.
