• Standard software that is installed on college computers. This might include operating systems (e.g., Microsoft Windows), Microsoft Office, programming tools (e.g., Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse), Adobe Acrobat, the Java Virtual Machine and other packages that might be useful for teaching and classroom use. These are governed by different licensing schemes, according to the vendor and according the agreement between the vendor and the college or the University of Houston.
