Install your own software

Why should I use Software Center?

To save yourself time and allow you to quickly get the software you need to carry out your work. There is no need to log a call with the IT Service Desk, Software Center operates 24/7 and can be used in the office or whilst working agile.

How do I use Software Center?

You can launch Software Center by double clicking on the icon on your desktop.

You will be taken to the Applications tab, where you will see icons for all software available to you, including software you have installed (or IT has installed for you) in the past. Click on the application you require, then click the blue ‘Install’ button on the next screen, the software will install, silently, in the background and you will be notified when the installation is complete.

What if I can’t find the software I need to install?

IT Services are currently in the process of testing all software used on our corporate network. If a piece of software isn’t currently available via Software Center, it is likely it will be in the near future.

If you require software installed which isn’t currently available, contact the IT Service Desk and we will be able to install it for you.
