New computers often come with a lot of trial edition software for your use (and further purchase if you desire).
While you are associated with UAS, you have the added benefit of access to security software (Symantec Anti-Virus), free (to you)!
Many instructors use Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). Unfortunately UAS does not have Microsoft licensing available for students. This software may be purchased from the Bookstore, online, through UA Technology Center or an educational discount software company like Software Express or Creation Engine.
Microsoft Ultimate Steal for Students
Microsoft offers students amazing deals on Vista, MS Office 2007, and Visio. Check out Microsoft's Ultimate Steal -- students can own the Ultimate Office 2007 suite for $59.95.
Adobe Student Licensing option
Adobe also offers students a significant discount on their Creative Suites:
Under the Student Licensing Option, a higher education institution
enrolled in the Adobe® Open Options CLP volume licensing program can
purchase select Adobe software at significant discounts for
redistribution or resale to students.
The institution can resell the software licenses to students -
passing the savings on to them. PSI Resources, Inc. will handle the
purchase of the software directly to the students.
Software - and the savings - can be distributed to students as part of course or lab fees.
