Software Remote

Software Remote (formerly DACS) provides free access to software from any computer with an internet connection and a web browser. Many software programs are available, including Adobe/Macromedia products, SAS, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD. The software programs appear to run on your desktop, but are actually running on the Software Remote servers. Keyboard strokes, mouse clicks, and screen updates are transmitted between your computer and the server. Because of this technology, these software programs can even be used with a dialup Internet connection.

• If this is the first time accessing Software Remote, install the Citrix client on your computer. The Citrix download link and instructions will appear on the web page once you have logged in.
