- Office Suite (Office Pro Windows or Mac)
- FrontPage
- Visual Studio.Net Pro
- OS Upgrade (Windows XP Pro)
- Core Client Access Licenses (Exchange, SharePoint Portal, Systems Management, Windows)

Under the MEEC Agreement UMUC can install the following McAfee software on all university-owned equipment:

All other software packages are purchased ad-hoc, wherein each time a software package is installed, UMUC pays for the license before installation. This includes former Macromedia and Adobe software packages such as Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Contribute, Photoshop, as well as others.
Software Available for Non UMUC-Owned Equipment
A number of vendors have ended extending software licenses to employees for their home computers under the MEEC agreement. However, this software can be obtained at discounted prices through multiple channels. Below is a summary listing:

Please note that if you are a GSMT faculty member, you can contact Linda Lassiter for yourself or on behalf of your students. Students, interested in the purchasing of software, should contact you, their instructor, first. The request must come from the instructor. Please do not have your students contact Professor Lassiter directly as their request will not be honored.
These programs are a wonderful benefit for our students and faculty as they can receive the software at discounted prices. We hope that SUS faculty will soon have their contact as well, which will be listed on DE Oracle as soon as it is available.
