Did you know that most commonly installed software is available to you to install 24/7 without the need to contact the GBIT Service Desk for administrative credentials? That’s right, there is a software repository right in your UWGB Windows or Mac computers provided you are on campus or the UWGB VPN.

If you’re on a Windows computer, you can look for “Software Center” in the bottom-left search bar. For detailed Windows instructions and information, please visit this Knowledge Base article. If you’re on a Mac computer, you can look for “Self Service” in Finder, usually the left-most icon on the Mac toolbar at the bottom.
