Software Center

Software Center allows quick and easy installation of common software on Clark-managed Windows devices across campus. The software available in Software Center will differ depending on the location or owner of the device but common software includes:

• Adobe Creative Cloud
• Zoom
• Microsoft Office
• Microsoft Teams
• NVIVO
• Endnote
• MatLab
• Chrome and Firefox
• 7Zip File Extractor

In addition to these, many Clark computers will also allow you to install specialist academic programs such as Anaconda Python, ArcGIS (Maps and Pro), RStudio and much more.

Installing Software from Software Center

When using a Clark-managed Windows computer while on campus or connected to VPN:

2. Type Software Center and click on the icon to open

3. In Software Center you’ll see all of the software that you have the ability to install on the device.

4. Click on the software you wish to install. You will see information including the version.
