Software Catalog

Below is a table listing out all software that CAD Tech manages for the College of Art and Design. Software titles marked with ** are part of the default lab deployment with-in CAD. All others are limited to the department that afforded that title and installed only where needed to support the classes for that department.

If you have questions, please submit a ticket.

 

Patch Policy

The patch policy as stated below will inform the end user when they can expect CAD Tech to patch to the latest version that is currently available. We will strive to meet this policy but we may not always patch at the time as stated in the table. We are sharing this information so that end users can keep their own devices in sync with our lab environment for max compatibility. 

Any software title that is not listed specifically below is patched Once a Semester.

Exception:

  • If a zero day vulnerability is found and a patch is made available, we will make every effort to patch immediately upon release.
  • Unforeseen issues with deploying latest software released by publisher
