Ordering software for computer labs

Make a plan for the software ordering

Routines for software ordering means that you should integrate it with the rest of the course planning and improve the quality of software installations. Therefore we wish that all software that should be present in the computer labs during the semester is ordered in connection with the rest of the course and room planning.

Important dates

• May 15th:  Deadline for orders för Fall periods 1 & 2. 
• November 15th: Deadline för orders för Spring periods 3 & 4.

New computers raise new demands

All computers in the student computer labs use the 64-bit version of Windows 10. To be able to install a software in a Windows network environment the software must meet these demands:

• It must be compatible with Windows 10 (ver. 21H2) , 64 bit.
• It must be compatible with a Windows network environment where students work at different computers from time to time.
• It may not require that the user has administrative rights for the computer.

This means that the software which is going to be used in the student computer environment may not be to old. If you suspect that your software does not fulfil the above demands, please contact us in good time so we can determine if installation is possible. All possible extra costs which may appear for special adjustments for the software will be charged your department.
