Software
The Division of IT offers a variety of academic, scientific, technical and productivity software products for departments and individual faculty, staff and students. There are several ways to obtain software:
Our Software Anywhere service is a great way for enrolled students and staff to access University software online from any computer connected to the Internet. Software Anywhere is available at no charge, 24 hours a day. Available software includes SPSS, SAS, and more.
Our Software Sales service offers academic, scientific, technical, and productivity software products for sale to departments, and in some cases, individual faculty, staff and students. Some software products are only available on certain campuses. Refer to each product for pricing and availability information.
When you use centrally supported software, which includes some of the most widely used applications on campus, our Tech Support Team can offer you assistance and recommendations to ensure you get the most out of these tools. Click here to request a Software Consultation or ask questions about specific software. There’s a wide variety of standard and specialty software available for your use in the computing sites. View a complete listing of which software and hardware are offered in which labs. Additionally, we have more software options available through Missouri Online.
For those needing specialized academic software, it might be beneficial to contact your faculty or teaching assistant for more information. Please note that specialized software is typically purchased by the department and not through software sales staff.

It is the policy of the University of Missouri to honor software license agreements and to require all users to do likewise. The Division of Information Technology will not knowingly assist in, or permit its equipment to be used in, violation of such agreements. The software must not be copied for someone else or loaned to someone else for them to copy. Departmental purchases must be made using a MoCode. The license agreement expires upon the termination of the user’s affiliation with the University of Missouri.
The Division of IT does not prorate software purchase costs. Refer to each product for availability and pricing information. All licenses are based on the stated license period, and must be renewed annually to maintain access.
Faculty/Staff
Department purchases must be made using a single MoCode. Please coordinate with your department’s authorized signer prior to submitting your request. Software purchase requests must first go through a MoCode approval workflow within the ticket system before being assigned to the software sales team to dispatch the license. Doing this will help expedite the approval process for your purchase.
Student & Personal Device Purchases

Please be aware that there is an approximate 20% price increase due to fees incurred by the third-party vendor. Additionally, note that personal device purchases are not reimbursed by the software sales department. If your department plans to cover the cost of the license, please coordinate with them to explore purchase options.
All licenses are for one year, based on the stated license period, and must be renewed annually for the new license period.
