These products were released over 7 years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems.

Office 2013 and Microsoft Student Option Program

Kivuto, the company that hosts the Vanderbilt Software Store and administers the Microsoft Student Option Program for Vanderbilt, expects to offer Office Professional Plus 2013 for Windows through the Student Option Program by mid-January 2013. Vanderbilt students are eligible to download Office for PC, Office for Windows, and Windows 8 Upgrade through the Student Option Program at no charge through the Vanderbilt Software Store. This is a benefit of Vanderbilt’s Campus Agreement.

Changes to Adobe CLP

Adobe removed the option to buy maintenance for Creative Suite products through its Cumulative Licensing Program (CLP). Since Vanderbilt participates in CLP, this means departments can no longer buy maintenance for CS6 products under the “Departments” tab through the Software Store.
