Install, Upgrade, or Remove Software

Before you request software, see if it is already available in Software Center (Windows) or Self Service (macOS, iOS).

 

Requested software/apps must meet certain requirements

  • It must be Windows 10 compatible (PCs) or OS X 10.12 compatible (Macs)
  • It must be current and supported by the software vendor
  • We must have a business case for installing it (supports UWRF's mission)

If the requirements have been met, we prioritize based on these items

  • Is the requested software already supported by UWRF?
  • Do we already have an alternative supported solution?
  • Has the software already been evaluated?
  • Do we have resources (e.g., budget, staff capacity) to support the software moving forward?
  • Could the request benefit a larger audience or is it a fit for one individual/area?
  • What licensing restrictions apply?
  • Are there security concerns with the software?
  • What is the risk to university data?

Notes

  • Your budget manager must approve the purchase
  • The elapsed time between your request and the approval/installation of the software varies.
