K-State provides free and for-purchase software products to students, faculty, and staff. The goal is to make resources available to the K-State community to provide the necessary tools to reach academic, research, and work goals.
Microsoft 365 is one of the most popular resources at K-State. The free office collaboration suite includes tools like email, calendar, applications, and file storage space. You can access the suite from your desktop, web browser, or phone. To learn more, view the Microsoft 365 webpage.
All active K-State faculty and staff will have free Adobe Creative Cloud license access. Managers may request a license for their student employees if the Adobe Creative Clouds apps are required for their job functions. To request a license, complete the Adobe order form.
The Adobe Creative Cloud, including Acrobat Pro DC, is a set of over 20 applications and services that allows access to a collection of software used for graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, mobile applications, and some optional cloud services. You can download individual apps or the entire suite. View the Downloading Adobe Creative Cloud Suite knowledge base article to learn more.
