OIT Supported Software

OIT Supported Software

OIT supports varied software for PC, Macintosh and UNIX. OIT aims to revise this list just prior to each fall semester but will update products as neccessary. OIT reserves the right to decrease support for products when vendors decrease their support for those products.

Please see the OIT Software Licensing page to download free software or purchase discounted software. Additional volume-priced software is available for purchase from the Duke Computer Store.

If you do not see the software you are looking for on this page, you can check the OIT SL Support & Patches website for vendor & web-support information for site-licensed products.
