For College Provided Macs – To find and  install applications …

If the Mac you have was provided for your use by Williams, first check to make sure the application isn’t preinstalled.  Many applications like Microsoft Office  and Adobe Acrobat are often preinstalled on college provided macs.  If the application you need isn’t preinstalled, try using the “Self Service” app in the Applications folder on the mac. If the application you need is available for install with that Self Service app, using Self Service will be the best and easiest way to install the application!

Self Service

Please note:  This Self Service application lists applications that requires a specific Williams license or other special Williams-only data and isn’t the complete list of software that is supported at Williams College. The complete list of supported software is available at the link below.

 

For College Provided Windows – To find and install applications …

If the windows computer you have was provided for your use by Williams,it was likely installed with a management client called KACE.  Among many other things, this KACE client can allow for easier installation of software.  For a list of software you can download, you login into the KACE server directly at: https://kbox.williams.edu/

Please note:  This KACE list of downloads is for software that requires a specific Williams license or other special Williams-only data and isn’t the complete list of software that is supported at Williams College. The complete list of supported software is available at the link below.

 

For All –

The applications listed represent most of the software that Williams College OIT supports in some way. For applications that require payment and that are used by multiple individuals, it often makes sense for OIT to purchase the applications and manage the associated licenses for use by those that need it. When an application is of use to only a few and/or there is nothing to be gained by OIT management, it is best to purchase applications individually. In all cases, Williams College supported software should ONLY be used for your Williams College related work.
