A new feature has been added to the MyUCDavis portal that

allows you to download free software and order programs

distributed by the Software Licensing Coordination Team (SLC). The new feature offers services designed to make obtaining software easier and includes:

• Information on more than 60 software products (such as anti-virus, email and Internet programs) for all major platforms (Mac, Windows, UNIX, etc.).


• The ability to download free or site-licensed products directly from the site. This includes easy, automated access to the “Jukebox,” the server used to download software. The site also links you to other vendors, such as the Technology Resources Center (TRC), the campus’ reseller for a variety of software products, so you can easily purchase products from vendors.


• The ability to search for all products, using a variety of criteria.
• The option to purchase some site-licensed software using a departmental billing ID or DaFIS account number and download immediately (currently available are Norton Anti-Virus, ArcGIS, ArcView, Ghost, and Mathematica). SLC is looking into making more products purchasable from the site in the future.

Accessing the Site
To access the new software site, you can visit http://my.ucdavis.edu/software. The former Web sites found at http://slc.ucdavis.edu/ and http://software.ucdavis.edu/ will automatically redirect you to the new site. For security reasons, you will need to login with your UCD LoginID and Kerberos password (the same password you use to log in to MyUCDavis). For more information on how to access MyUCDavis, you can go to http://my.ucdavis.edu/project/login_info.html.
If you are already logged into MyUCDavis, click on the “UCD Resources” tab (in the top navigation menu) and select "Software".

More information about the new site, including an FAQ, is available on the Software Site Fact Sheet PDF available at http://iet.ucdavis.edu/softwarefactsheet.pdf.
