Purdue IT Software Licensing and Distribution

Software Licensing and Distribution provides services associated with the establishment and retention of software agreements between Purdue University and software vendors, and the distribution of the resulting licensed software under the terms of these agreements.


Community Hub Site

Purdue IT Software Licensing and Distribution recently partnered with Purdue’s Community Hub to offer a more convenient way to obtain software.  Many of our software products are now available for immediate download through the Software Download Storefront on Community Hub at

https://communityhub.purdue.edu/storefront.

After logging into the Storefront, users will only see the software they are eligible to obtain.  For details on a particular software's availability, the product pages are still available with licensing information.

We will continue to transition the remainder of our products to Community Hub over the coming months.
