Purchasing Software

Purdue students and staff are eligible to purchase selected titles of Microsoft software from Purdue through a special licensing agreement.  The software is actually free, but Purdue charges $10 or less for each title to cover costs of copying the software to compact disks.  Each student and staff member is limited to purchasing one copy of each software title for their personal use and must sign an agreement to those terms at the time of purchase.  The software is available at the BoilerCopyMaker shop in the Purdue Memorial Union. 

Software titles from other companies are also available for purchase.

Read more about the software available for purchase through the ITAP Shopping site.
