What is Managed Software Center?

Managed Software Center (MSC) is an open-source software deployment tool for macOS. It is sometimes referred to as "Munki," which is the name of the backend process that runs it. Managed Software Center is where WSU Mac users can obtain campus-licensed software such as Adobe applications, Microsoft applications, JMP, SPSS, Mathematica, and more. For all intents and purposes it is just a custom WSU app store.

How do I use Managed Software Center?

From your Applications menu, select the black-and-white Managed Software Center icon.
