Who We Serve
ACMS/Software Distribution distributes bulk purchases of software to the UCSD campus. We provide minimal technical support primarily to departmental contacts who know what to order, how to do a network install of the software, and need little documentation. ACMS/Software Distribution does not manage the software used by students in instructional labs. We do, however, arrange for many special deals on software for students.
We only take IFIS Recharge (Index) numbers as payment.
ACMS Software Distribution operates several servers with shareware, freeware and some site-licensed software packages. Please see the Resources section for links to these.
Limited Support
ACMS/Software Distribution is funded to provide very limited technical
support, related to downloading from our servers. Please see http://desktop.ucsd.edu
for information on paid assistance installing products.
UCSD Bookstore
We strongly suggest that for individual, single quantity purchases, buyers consider the UCSD bookstore. Fully packaged products include CD and license for immediate use. ACMS has for enrolled students, our discount agreements for Adobe, Microsoft and Macromedia, distributed at the bookstore.
Those who cannot comfortably use our download services may purchase software at the UCSD bookstore, or other suppliers of educational software, at academic discounts.
