How do I Use Software Center (Windows) and Self Service (Mac) on my UNCW-owned Computer?

Question

Answer

All faculty and staff have the ability to access and use Software Center or Self Service on a UNCW-owned computer.

*Please note: If your Windows computer has not been on the UNCW network for an extended period of time (either on-campus or via VPN), you may need to connect before it displays all applications available on Software Center. After connecting, applications may take a few hours to populate.
