Software and Hardware Procurement for Students
DCU currently maintain site licenses for various software applications that students may download and install onto their personal machines.
Please note that site license software runs on a subscription basis, and only applies while you are a current student in DCU.
When you graduate/leave DCU, you will no longer be entitled to install/use the software.
