Meredith Software

Meredith College uses site and individual licensing to manage distribution of software for its faculty, staff, and students. Site licensing which is restricted to a particular quantity, is the primary method for software purchasing. Meredith College is a member of North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU). By being a member of this organization Meredith has been able to establish buying relations with Microsoft and Adobe products.

Microsoft Campus Agreement Graphic
The Microsoft Campus Agreement provides Meredith faculty, staff, and students with a variety of software packages that can be installed on Meredith owned equipment. The bulk of this software is part of the Standard Load that is installed on all Meredith employee and student machines.

Microsoft Select Link
The Microsoft Campus agreement also provides Meredith faculty, staff, and students with a way to purchase selected Microsoft software packages at reduced prices. The web site for purchasing software can be accessed by pressing the Select Icon. The software packages available for purchase are listed on the right.

Adobe Link
Through the relationship with NCICU, Adobe products that need to be installed on Meredith owned equipment, are available for purchase at very reduced prices. These are not site licenses. They should be treated as individual licenses. If a licensed copy of an Adobe product has been installed on a staff or faculty computer, that individual can arrange to have the software installed on a non-owned Meredith computer for work purposes. If the employee leaves Meredith it is their responsibility to remove the software off the computer. All Shared Computer Labs and the MAC labs do have Desigh Premimun installed. Visit the Adobe Site to see what software is available for purchase.

Atomic Learning Link
Meredith College has a site license that allows faculty, staff, students and family access to the Atomic Learning Web Site. This site provides easy automated tutorials for all levels of PC and Mac software. Contact the help desk for id and password.

SPSS Graphic

Currently Meredith College has a unlimited site license for installation of SPSS on Meredith owned computers. If you laptop doesn't have SPSS installed, please contact the help desk at 760-2323 for instructions. Please be aware that the license number changes each year. If you do have SPSS installed, but it is not working, it's probably a license issue. Please contact the help desk for instructions.


Meredith College has a number of limited site licenses that are installed on faculty/staff computers, department labs, and campus shared labs. Meredith has also purchased a number of individual licenses of certain products that are also installed on the campus shared labs. Because the site licenses are limited, if a department or faculty/staff member needs installation of a particular software package, arrangements will need to be made with Technology Services first. Please visit the Meredith Computer Lab Web Page to locate the software packages that are installed on campus shared labs.
