Licensed software at CSE

UNSW and CSE have licensing agreements with a number of vendors to make software available to staff and students.

Microsoft OS and server software

The Microsoft Azure webstore is available to currently enrolled CSE students.

Before you can claim a Microsoft license, you must first apply for access via the UNSW IT website

Microsoft Office

Office ProPlus is available for free to current UNSW students.

Office 365 University is available for AU$119 for 4 years.

UNSW-owned mac users can install Office through the UNSW Self-service app.

Adobe products (including Acrobat)

Adobe Creative Cloud is available to UNSW staff on compatible UNSW-owned and personal computers.
