Personally Owned Computers

The Microsoft Agreement (EES) allows each eligible Purdue faculty and staff member to use selected software products on one computer he or she owns, for University-related work. The cost of the Microsoft software licenses is covered by the agreement but media (DVDs) or a download must be purchased from OnTheHub. Click here to learn eligibility criteria.

Microsoft software media or download may be purchased at Purdue IT Software Licensing and Distribution.
