Software¶
Students at Queen's have access to a fairly sizable software repository through various sources.
| Title | Link | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Azure | https://portal.azure.com/ | Since Queen's has a contract with Microsoft, students have access to the Microsoft Azure portal. Software you have access to includes Visual Studio, Windows 10/11 Education, Microsoft Access, and more. |
| Queen's IT Software Center | https://queensuca.sharepoint.com/sites/software-centre | Queen's has a variety of resources and software licenses made available through their SharePoint. Available software includes antivirus, Camtasia (video editing), EndNote (reference management), Maple (math software), MATLAB, Microsoft Office, NVivo (qualitative data analysis), SPSS/SAS (statistical analysis), VPN software, Windows 10, and more. Note: some of this software is available to Queen's faculty only. |
| Queen's FEAS AppsAnywhere | https://apps.engineering.queensu.ca/ | Queen's FEAS has its own repository of software delivered using AppsAnywhere virtualization software (apps don't need to be installed on your machine; rather, they are delivered on demand to any machine). Relevant software includes SolidWorks (CAD software) and Microsoft Office. |
Info: you'll need to download the CloudPaging Player to use AppsAnywhere virtualization, which can also be downloaded through https://apps.engineering.queensu.ca/ — just search for "Cloudpaging Player".
