Microsoft and VMWare Software

Roots IT has both DreamSpark and Azure For Education access.

DreamSpark is a repository for free and discounted software we have made available to faculty staff and grad students. DreamSpark will keep track of the software you have gotten from them, so you can return to view and re-download your orders as long as you are affiliated with OSU. 

Azure for Education is Microsoft's software portal for educational institutions. As long as you are an OSU student or employee you have access to an array of Microsoft products, including WIndows OS.
