Control Panel Installations (PC)

WSU offers many programs to students, faculty, and staff at no additional charge that are not installed on the computer when it is received. To get these programs they must be installed from the network via Control Panel Installations. The server these apps are stored on is called the KeyServer.

Notes:

• Please do not use wireless for software installs.
• You need to be on the WSU campus and connected to the WSU Network with a network cable.
• NOTE: Some installs may take up to 30 minutes. Please do not quit the install process
