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 necessary. OIT reserves the right to decrease support for products when vendors decrease their support for those products.
Please see the Site License page for any additional software and discounted site-licensed prices. Additional volume pricing is available from the Duke Computer Store.
