Software Installation Requests

Making a Software Installation Request

You can see software installed on library computers on the standard software page. 

If you need a specific application for instruction and coursework that is not already available on library computers, fill out the form below. 

Timeframe and Limitations

Please expect software installations to take up a minimum of ten business days, from the time we have the software and valid licenses in hand.

For especially complex software, please allow additional time for testing for reliability and security. You will also need to test the software to make sure it works how you expect.

We cannot install:

• trial versions of software
• software that requires the user to have administrator privileges to run the application
• individually licensed software
• software with a license that must be purchased

By submitting this form, I consent to Northwestern’s collection and processing of my personal data to provide the information I requested and for other purposes as described in Northwestern’s Privacy Statement.
