Draft:Installing Software From The Network (PC)

Note: You must be on campus and it is best to be plugged in with an ethernet cable to install programs. Some programs, such as all the Adobe products, require you to be connected to the network to use. This can be done by either being on campus, or by using the VPN client to connect to the network. Some programs may take up to 25 minutes to install, so plan accordingly.

Installing programs on a PC can be done in a few short steps:
