WITH IUANYWARE, YOU CAN STREAM SOFTWARE to your computer. This is especially useful if you need to work on a different computer than your usual one or if you don't want to download a program just for one project. IUanyWare may also be helpful if your computer doesn't have enough processing power to run the programs you need for your courses, or if you have a Mac and the software you need to run is PC only (or vice versa).

WITH IUWARE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE PROGRAMS such as Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, and more at no additional cost. Log in with your IU username and passphrase to see what is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• If you are not sure where to start, begin with Microsoft Office 365. This is a set of basic tools that you will likely need for most of your classes at IU.
• If you need specialized software for classes, your instructor and syllabus will point you in the right direction.
• Please do not download software onto a device that is not yours! If you need access to software from a device that you are borrowing, see the information on this page about IUanyWare and Google at IU.
