Software
Current UCLan students can purchase software, at reduced prices, from The <i> at the new Single Service Point on the ground floor of the Library.
How to Purchase
We require you to complete a Licence Agreement form for each copy of software you purchase. Choose the relevant form for the software title below that you wish to purchase, print it out and fill it in and then bring it with you when you come to get software from us.
Please be aware that since the licensing regulations for each software title may vary, the forms for each are different. It's therefore important that you choose the correct form and read them carefully before signing.
Payment can be made by cash, credit or debit card.
Purchasing Software by Post
If you are unable to come onto campus to buy software (because you are a distance learner or are away from the University for a period of time) you can purchase software by completing and sending the forms to us and arranging for payment to be taken by credit or debit card over the phone.
To purchase software via this method please post the following to the address on the right:
- The relevant, fully completed hand signed software licence agreement form (downloadable next to the relevant software titles below)
- A note giving us your Full Name, Postal address, Telephone number and if necessary the best time to contact you. (During Library weekday opening hours only)
Please note: The address you provide must match the address that is on the system for you. If you have moved house since you enrolled on your course, please ensure that the we have the correct address for you by logging onto MyUCLan where you can amend it if necessary.

Other Software
Whilst we'd love to be able to provide you with the full range of software that is on the University network to you for use on your home computers, unfortunately, due to Licensing regulations, that's not possible. However, below are a couple of links to some online stores who sell various software titles to students at rates that are often much lower than from other stores.
Please note: These external websites are not owned by UCLan. We provide links to the stores as a way of assisting the many students who wish to purchase software that we regretfully are unable to provide. UCLan are not responsible for the information found on or any problems experienced with the sites we link to.
