Our license agreements with each software company determine how and by whom each software title can be accessed. Some titles are limited to specific university roles (faculty, staff, student, etc.), to an operating system (Mac, Windows), and/or to remote use (Virtual Sites, Sites Anywhere).
You can browse the Sites Software List and filter based on user role and workstation type.
U-M Sites PC Workstations
Software on Sites Windows computers is available via AppsAnywhere, a software portal similar to an app store. Search for and launch the software you want to use from the portal instead of opening the application from the Windows Start Menu.
U-M Sites Mac Workstations
Many of our software titles are licensed and installed directly on our Sites Mac workstations. See the full list of our campus provided software.
