Software Wishes

Requests for new software deals can either be made by email to Software Services at is.software.wishes@ed or via the Software Interest wiki.

Site licenses and bulk deals often depend on enough interest from across the University, please be aware that these can take some time to organise and some deals will require commitment for annual payments over a number of years. Schools and departments also take out licenses which we may not be aware of, so ask your school first in case they already have a license.

Software Interest wiki can be used to request software deals but be aware that software services facilitate site licenses but have no funds as such.

Please note: Remember to check the Software Services database to see if the software is available (secured) as well for any general information on the software, as well as the software interest wiki to see the current status of any request.
