Downloading software supported by Information Technology Services (ITS) just became easier thanks to a new and improved version of "downloads.its.psu.edu." Now available to Penn State faculty, staff and students, https://downloads.its.psu.edu/ provides central, "one-stop-shopping" access to software applications, updates, related information and documentation for ITS-supported and managed software. The newly redesigned site also integrates as well as replaces the Web version of PAC-ITS, and provides easy access to ITS' open source software mirror at: http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/.
Software Access
Due to the nature of licensing agreements and/or for-fee structures for some of the software products, the site is available only to Penn State faculty, staff and students. Thus, the site requires access via a Penn State Access Account userid and password through Penn State WebAccess. Users who connect via a dial-up connection still have access to the PAC-ITS CD, supported and distributed by Consulting and Support Services (CSS), also of ITS, to download larger software packages. The CD is available at local computer support and/or help desk areas at University Park and other campus areas. Please note however that not all software packages listed on downloads.its.psu.edu are available on the CD due to the nature of their respective licensing agreements and/or for-fee structures.
Getting Help
If you need assistance, please contact the ITS Help Desk staff at helpdesk@psu.edu or reveiw the downloads.its.psu.edu Help documentation.
